Pulled on a beautifully restored vintage Victoria Arduino at Beacon Coffee & Mercantile in Beacon, NY, this dark roast had all the hallmarks of a classic European-style espresso. Syrupy and full-bodied, it leaned into earthy, nutty notes, walnut in particular, with a gentle thread of smoke running through the finish. The shot felt grounded and nostalgic, more about depth and texture than brightness. It was a great match for the vibe of the café, where the old-world machine added just the right touch of character to the experience.
