A famed area local roaster and champion of Slow Food causes, this downtown torrefazione/café is a bit more advanced than the rest in the area. For one, they offer up to seven different selections of coffee beans for your espresso - from their standard blend at ?0.80 to single estate coffees for ?1.50, including Jamaican Blue Mountain at ?2 (now why you would want to use JBM in an espresso is a separate question). Using two-group and three-group MTR Dosatrons, they pull shots with a mottled medium brown, tiger-striped crema - which can run lighter at times. It's a place for area coffee lovers, however, and the flavor tends to run in the smoky, almost tobacco-like range.
