In another impressive matchup between varietals, this week Alterra is offering two takes on their Honduras Capucas, lots named after the respective farmers, Pedro Romero and Jose Isidro Lara. Last night, I enjoyed a mug of Pedro at the lakefront location; tonight, I had one mug of each at Bayshore. I didn't think that last night's coffee delight could be topped, but I actually think tonight's mug of Jose hit the spot just about perfectly. Actually, I'd like to try a blend of both. So it's looking like I'll have to take advantage of the package deal, offering a pound of each. One kind--I forget which--is being offered as single-origin espresso at some locations. Without looking, I'll bet it's the Pedro.
UPDATE: Ooh, it's neither: it's Fausto. A new twist! So you can have the Fausto as espresso, but not as drip or over-the-counter beans? I'm intrigued!
