Some people believe that European coffee is the best in the world. Could this possibly be related to Italy, and the fact that it's known for fine espresso? Now that I think about it, they're where we got the concept. Like we do with many things, we adopted their java ideas. Hey, in retrospect, it was a darn wise choice. I can't even begin to imagine how much Americans have made off of espresso. Especially now that Starbuck's Coffee is a 6 billion dollar business. It's funny to think about how much we love our caffeine fix. Anyway, I have the pleasure of purchasing European coffee on a regular basis where I live. Well, so to speak. You see, there's a nice couple who own a coffee shop about 10 miles from my home. They attended college in Italy and learned everything there is to know about coffee and fine espresso. You know what that means. They have one phenomenally great coffee shop. It truly is a diamond in the rough. These days I'm just glad my wife and I happened by it one summer day. After trying countless java beverages from coffee house across the country, this one is certainly in the top three. I'd say that's saying a lot. Starbuck's, eat your heart out!
You definitely don't have to acquire European coffee in order to enjoy a fabulous latte. There are plenty of freshly roasted beans to go around. You truly should check your local coffee vendors and see what they have to offer. It's always a good sign when they write the day it was roasted and bagged on the product. This way you know how fresh it is.
