November 23rd is National Espresso Day. Espresso is a main ingredient in your morning latte, or if you’re feeling adventurous, your solo or doppio--to get that caffeine straight into the bloodstream.
Espresso is known as the more potent, caffeine-laden variety of coffee, but it all comes down to the difference in brewing methods -- and, of course, the beans themselves.
We’re joined Bob Grissinger, owner of famous Bennett’s Fresh Roast in Fort Myers. His shop makes and sells from-scratch hand-cut donuts--and roasts various coffees daily. And by Brian Abernathy from Grumpy Goat Coffee. The relatively new company prides itself on its high quality standards--which they achieve by focusing on single-origin and regional-select green beans.
