Surrounded by the sights and smells of the Neapolitan region during his youth, Mr. Espresso’s founder, Carlo Di Ruocco, set out to master the art and science behind coffee roasting and blending of classic espressos true to the region. We believe he did just that, and today Mr. Espresso is proud to offer Carlo’s interpretation of a timeless classic. Our Neapolitan brings together up to eight coffees from multiple origins, each roasted separately over oak wood to preserve its character before being blended. Mr. Espresso’s traditional wood-roasting method reduces acidityAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it. while enhancing sweetness, a hallmark of an Italian espresso. The result is a deep, complex, and balanced espresso that works as beautifully on its own as it does with milk and sugar. True to its roots, Neapolitan Espresso is sure to delight the senses whether it is prepared at home with a stove-top “Caffettiera Napoletana” or expertly crafted at your neighborhood espresso bar.
