I was privileged to try his double espresso. It is very, very fresh, with a huge crema, wonderful aroma and complex but smooth and fruity flavor. It’s a blend of Ethiopian yirgacheffe, Columbian and Brazilian beans, roasted to medium at exactly a peak of 450 degrees and then immediately cooled so they do not over cook. Wow! Five stars! How this can be only be $12.99 a pound? The quality and price blew me away. But then there is the shop. It’s a massive art gallery with multiple rooms and every inch covered with art, mostly Picasso prints! I kid you not! You have to explore this place, on one of the only three days a week Mario is open! He has no employees. He has no imitators. He has no helpers. He has his own passion for coffee and art. He has his desire for coffee perfection! He spends most of his week roasting small batches rather than opening the shop. Life is great with a unique passion for perfection! Thanks Mario!
