Week #2: Italian Roast
This sturdy dark roast is a sweet, bold cup of coffee.
Somewhere beyond the caramel notes of our Espresso Roast but short of the smokiness that identifies our French Roast – that is the sweet spot held by Italian Roast. What is created after the coffee cools is a sturdy and sweet blend, potent and intense. Sit back, relax and enjoy La Dolce Vita.
Remember how I said caffeine can give me the jitters sometimes? Well, depending on other factors, it can also make me itchy. After one, I was shaky and itchy. It had a great and potent flavor which I loved, but after one and a half I felt as if I was covered with creepy-crawlers. I was trying to avoid shaking my notebook right off the table while trying to learn a verbal stem for Hebrew. After my one and a half coffees, I had to call it a night and head home. How long do you think it took me to fall asleep that night?
Great flavor, enough caffeine to wake the dead.

Well, you are picking up on the duality I intended. I only had a cup and a half of the Italian Roast because of the intense caffine. My original purpose of the scale is to rate how much I liked the Bold Coffees. Here with the Italian, I liked it a lot but couldnt handle the heart-racing goodness and so I had to give it a low score...hence the double meaning of the one and a half.
