Espresso Ahoy!


They say that you learn something new every day. If that was the case you would learn approximately 30,000 new things in a lifetime. That's a lot to take in. Thank goodness for espresso.

I was talking with someone today about espresso. I had previously thought that espresso was some clever blend of coffee to give it that extra pow, but as it turns out, it's not at all. The method of brewing is different (as in using a stove pot versus a filter) and the consistency would be finer for an espresso... but the actual coffee is no different. According to the big W, retailers like to use the espresso tag line for their darker blends, but that is pure marketing (and consistancy of course).

So who would have guessed? If you get a chance, head over and check out this blog post on the 'And I am Not Lying' blog. National coffee incident ahoy!
