I think the main difference is the type of beans used. Expresso is supposed to be a strong coffee, in a very small cup, something that gives you an instant boost. It's supposed to be drunk black.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-11074053421286237732012-02-13T22:30:46.655+10:302012-02-13T22:30:46.655+10:30Well it's called expresso but so what, it just...Well it's called expresso but so what, it just forces water through coffee grounds, I think they all do that.

We have one of those fancy coffee makers that grinds the beans first and then magic happens and coffee pours into the cups, with a nice and creamy layer. Yum. We buy beans at a wholesale store. When we've been there the entire car smells off fresh coffee. Very nice ;-)Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288856854422999687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-89728651922880923592012-02-12T19:27:20.070+10:302012-02-12T19:27:20.070+10:30Tempo; intoxicating isn't it?

On the other hand...handmade chocolates? Yummo! Did they make coffee creams I wonder? They're my favourite. Swiss Glory used to make coffee creams,in a little log shape about an inch and a half long, buttery in texture, (because Swiss Glory uses real butter), it was a fairly strong flavoured little treat coated in milk chocolate. <br /><br /><br />Sarah; I find the aroma is often the best part of anything.<br /><br />Delores; that's a shame. Maybe you could send a message to the kitchen and ask what type of coffee they're using and who is their supplier? If enough people voice their dissatisfaction things could change for the better. <br /><br />Kath Lockett; it's a powerful aroma, the roasting and the grinding.....<br /><br />Windsmoke; for sure. And sometimes the taste matches the aroma and you find yourself in coffee heaven. <br /><br />permanently amanda; you need to visit a coffee shop and smell the beans! I understand about the tea shops, it's another favourite aroma of mine. Sadly, the coffee I drink most is a cheap instant...<br /><br />Toni; hie thee to the kitchen, wench!
