Since acquiring my incredibly wonderful espresso machine in January, I have been making mostly Americanos for myself—a double shot of espresso with hot water added. I drink strong black coffee so an Americano seemed perfect for me. But I have, after all, an expensive espresso machine, not a coffeemaker. So, after finding a set of espresso cups yesterday, this morning I finally took advantage of Vaneli’s truly remarkable Classic Cremosa flavor, described as a “sweet creamy body with dark chocolate notes and a cherry finish.” It is heavenly! The undiluted espresso is so much more intense and delicious. I can’t wait to try Vaneli’s Espresso Forte that pushes “the sweet dark chocolate notes to the foreground.”
