Moving Back to Vita Espresso Beans

I'm allowed to change my mind, am I not? I've been getting my espresso beans from Victrola coffee roasters in Seattle by ordering online for some months now. See my previous post about Victrola. When I first started out I was getting their classic "Steamline" roast, and then more recently they came out with a new roast called "Triborough". I liked both roasts pretty much, but over the last few orders I have found it hard to get much if any crema out of the Triborough beans. I even bought some beans in the store when I was up in Seattle last month knowing they would be hot out of the roaster. Same thing!

So, this week I went back to my previous Seattle favorite Espresso Vivace Coffee Roasters and got my old favorite, the Vita espresso roast. Oh, and some green beans for my own home roasting. Oh boy! How good to see that rich creamy crema issuing forth into my cup...and what fantastic flavor. I just finished a flat white and am in heaven all over again.
