this morning i made iced coffee with the beans from caffe d'arte. and it was heavenly.

i didn't use the vac pot, which i keep at home. instead i marched proudly into my job with the freshly ground beans in my hot pink longchamps bag and made it in a french press that i keep at my desk. the result: pure wonder. the coffee has pours like wine, with a deep brown-purple color exactly like an italain eggplant. mixed with milk and ice, it's light and refreshing. i don't use sugar in my coffee, and this certainly didn't call for any.

again, i highly recommend the coffees of maurizio cipolla! between this and the mexican altura from the vinegar factory, i'm set for the summer.

but what about brooklyn? i'm determined some time this weekend to get back to d'amico's coffee in cobble hill, buy some coffee and talk to them about their roasting. look for this info soon! there are many underexplored resources in our fair brooklyn; let's see if d'amico's is one of them!
