A go-to classic that I've long used for Espresso and Moka Pot. Sometimes we miss it as we explore more new coffees and grab a ca. Also had as doppios in many cafes all over the world!Cupping Method:Espresso, MokaPot

Had an excellent Doppio in Iceland made from Intenso. Dark and intense but not overwhelmingly bitter. -

Although I could be wrong about our reading of European can labels, I think this is a separate roast from ones that Illy offers that a similar red color. It has the word MOKA on the front of it in all caps. In any case, our hosts in Spain put this roast in a large Moka Pot and it was impressive how smooth it was with a high degree of flavor. Very chocolatey with some natural sweetness and great with postres. -

Not a big fan of this cold brew. Not bitter or acidic so a bit hard to explain and pretty smooth and has a nice caramel undertone. It's almost too nutty at the top of the palate and then has an unpleasant after taste. I sort of get like a cooked mushroom, which is great for dinner, but not super awesome for canned cold brew. Classico as espresso works quite well, so I'm not sure what's happening here. Maybe a skunked can?Cupping Method:Can (I think I bought it from Eataly in Boston), put in my fridge and drank it 3 days later.
