LOVE espresso, it's been nearly 3 years since I got my machine, gotta upgrade and my grinder too *drooling over Rancilio products*

I prefer our local roasting company, like 14$ for a pound of locally roasted espresso beans

Espresso is coffee lol. It's just not drip coffee. It is the perfect drink for the afternoon break . I also prefer locally grown and roasted coffee.

What are your favorite brands?

Have you tried other brands of Puerto Rican coffee?

*Seeing you're from Puerto Rico* Where in PR are you from?

Yes, I have also tried Yaucono, and that's good stuff too. I live in the lower 48 so I can'tbuy that stuff at the store. Usually family brings me some or I buy some when I go.

I don't drink coffee. It smells sooooo good when brewing in the house(especially hazelnut!), but I don't like drinking it :/

So my favorite coffee SCENT (LOL!) is hazelnut.

If we were talking about teas however, Earl Grey all the way! (Hey! That kinda rhymes! )

Tea? I like a nice cuppa vanilla chai tea. Coffee? Not my thing. If I want caffeine I go for a diet coke.

As for the whole cat poop coffee, apparently the chemicals inside the cat alter the color and flavor of the coffee beans it eats. Can't have a cup of that coffee without it going through the bowels of a wild cat.

Nothing says yum like coffee from the butt of a cat.

I think they also make Bat Guano Coffee too..

I must disagree. Espresso is in a class unto itself. It is thicker and richer. Also, in order to make a proper shot of espresso you have to use a burr grinder as to not destroy the oils in the bean.

>.> I have a thing for it. Good espresso does not come from the push of a button. Honestly I only like it from the couple of local places. The grind, tamp, brew and froth while you wait. Not as fast, but there is no comparison.

On a different note. Mate (or is it matte?) tea packs quite the punch. Enjoying one called cocoa cannella. It's like cinnamon hot chocolate/tea.
