But today if you want to try espresso made from a rotation of single estate beans and/or from a choice of different roasts, you have to travel to the likes of Barefoot Coffee Roasters or Caffé del Doge. Copycats are fine when it’s something excellent, but there’s clearly more than one way to make a great espresso.
