Reviews & Comments
A little disappointing. When I was in Seattle back in the late 90s I remember the Vivace street carts still being around (before evil empire of Starbucks ran them out of business). Probably the best latte I have ever had. Have not tried Vita yet but Dolce seemed a little lost with milk. Excellent as espresso.
but it can be quite the Diva - I second the previous poster - I went through half a pound before I had something palatable and another half pound for the first 'god shot' - I do not know of another roast that will go from great to sink with such a small margin of error - miss the temperature by a couple of degrees and you are toast....I have exactly two micro-settings on my vario to go from choking the machine to 3oz in 15 seconds....
203 deg, 16g in naked double tamped with 40pds, 30 sec for 1.6 oz (giotto premium plus HX-E61)
Dolce took awhile to dial in properly on my La Marzocco GS3 paddle machine. 17gms in a triple basket/bottomless portafilter at 203F delivered a 25 second pull with extraordinary crema and flavor depth. Before Dolce I was using Black Cat which quickly fell to number two position after Dolce. I think the differences are the Dolce excels in flavor depth leading to a longer full flavor at the end. The flavors are complex but balanced. I am not very good in using all the related flavor terms but when I run out of it I become cranky until I get some more.
ROASTe made the acquisition of Vivace Dolce much easier with their free shipping promotion. I have complained to Vivace several times about their excessive shipping costs without any luck.
I look forward to trying other roasters on ROASTe as well.
I may have found my new staple. It is very smooth very with a great taste.
Very nice flavor. No bitter taste and quite smooth.
I agree with the last review. This coffee is perfect for Espresso, my partner and I enjoy this one a lot.
Simply saying, this is an excellent espresso. Exactly what I need in the morning. Nice body and smell. Not to bitter or acidic. Balanced well. I love it.
