what coffee/ espresso, when, and with what?????

[kjpman]

I was sitting and thinking coffee, like I do wwwwaaaaayyyyyy to much these days, and i realized that i like different espressos at different times of the day, just like my cigars. Since i got an iRoast not to long ago from SM, Im still working off the sampler they gave me. But so far, in the morning i like the classic italian blend because its smooth with tastes of dark chocolate and cream which goes great with a DR Monte, or RP edge lite. The mid-afternoon i like either the Monkey Blend or an SO Kona. With a notch up in complexity in the coffee, a notch up in cigar, so i usually like a Ghurka, AF maddie, or CAO Cameroon Anni. And in the evening before heading out, or just after dinner i like either the Moka Kadir (spice, dark fruit, and bittersweet chocolate hints) or the Puro Scuro (which just floors me everytime i sip it, the flavor explodes on my palate.) I like something with a bit more depth for a cigar so ill go for a CAO maddie anni, or a LGC, or maybe a Padron 64 Anni in natural ( If my suppliers ever send me another shipment) What do you guys like? or am i just bored enough to notice these things o

I think the best espresso is the one someone serves you (and cleans up the mess). No other opinion on particulars except that I think espresso is the perfect non-alky drink to go with any cigar.

Can't agree more. Espresso and cappuccino certainly require getting more gadgets and dishware dirty. Especially if you are into serving it in the proper cups and saucers.

Espresso machine set up's are quite messy. Like having a table saw on your kitchen counter. I love an espresso with a cigar, but the espresso lasts a few minutes at best.
