mr. right and i have been drinking coffee lately. . .

most recently, we've been tasting different roasts from caffe d'arte. this has long been one of my favorite coffees. last week, i got a half pound each of the parioli espresso roast, the decaf espresso, and the firenze espresso roast.

mr. right is the decaf drinker; after a latte with the decaf, he reported feeling as buzzed as if he'd had regular caf. hmm! maybe he's ultra-sensitive?? after several days drinking, however, we've both pretty much agreed that the firenze roast -- the light, northern-italian style, is really the one we both prefer.

this surprises me, because for many years before i could make good espresso at home, i drank very darkly roasted, aged indonesian coffees. but i find as my means of making coffee improves, the lighter roasts really sing out. . .those i still sometimes love an aged sumatra in a french press. . .
