Reviews & Comments
I'll begin the review with a caveat. I've been making lattes and cappuccinos for more than 5 years and can froth microfoam with my eyes closed -- but I've never developed a palate that can enjoy an espresso, or even a macchiato. Just keep that in mind when I tell you I much prefer Vivace's Dolce over their Vita roast.
Those of you who prefer a smooth flavor may find Vita's flavors a bit overpowering in our milk drinks. But Dolce deserves applause for this very nice blend. Definitely try them both - I did, and I'm going back to Dolce.
I've recently tried a number of espresso coffees for my new Rancilio Silvia espresso machine...It brings me great joy to know I'm having a glorious coffee drink that is as good if not better than a Starbucks or Caribu Cofeehouse...
...so here we go...I'm reading all this praise about this David Schomer guy from Cafe Vivace who is totally obsessed with coffee and has a number of books and DVD's about the great art of espresso...
...so I dive into his VITA blend roasted made daily at his Roateria in Seattle. It is truly decadent to see a gusher of crema dispensed from his special espresso...and I'm very, very impressed with the drinks I was able to make....Great tasty lattes and even a bold Americano had a zesty Northern Italian roast flavor.
No need to look further....this stuff is top-notch...
The Vita blend is a deliciously rich low-acid espresso, has a heavy body, some chocolate and caramel notes with an excellent crema. It is very good for shots (even though not my favorite, try Klatch) but absolutely fantastic with milk. And there is no excuse if you have not tried it ;] - 4 beans In the small cup, 5 beans for the mastering of milk.
