In the May issue of Esquire magazine, the following was listed as #5 on a list entitled “60 Things Worth Shortening Your Life For”:
5. Black Cat espresso from Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea.
A triple. Note the exceedingly heavy body, with chocolate, caramel, and dried-fruit notes. Also note that you’re vibrating. That means it’s working. intelligentsiacoffee.com.
While it’s true that we pull double shots downtown with triple baskets (that’s over 21g of Black Cat!), please keep in mind that coffee and especially espresso has been shown to have significant beneficial health effects when consumed in moderation.
More importantly the stuff is just plain delicious- isn’t that reason enough?
