Features
David Schomer's Vivace Dolce Espresso Coffee blend has been created to offer the most complex and balanced flavor possible and is superbly suited for single-shot espresso and ristretto drinks. Intense emphasis on research and experimentation has led to the creation of a roasting protocol where the beans are slowly roasted to develop a sweet caramel nature in the cup. The roasting process is tuned to develop coffee flavors to the fullest--then quickly stopped before the oils can "sweat" on the surface of the bean.
Vivace Dolce Espresso features a heavy red-gold crema with a sweet floral presence, balanced with a rich note of chocolate and a complex, sweet aftertaste that lingers on the palate. Available as whole bean in 12oz bags shipped direct 3 day air to you from the roaster.
Please Note: This coffee is shipped 3-day air directly from the roaster to ensure freshness, and cannot be shipped internationally.

Philip Coats Interesting to see that coffee comes from such a wide variety of places. Curious to know just how much the taste of each varies (with a similar roast temperature) due to soil composition and other localized variables.

Dean Dahlstedt Absolutely amazing that coffee is the 4th most popular drink in the world, yet it appears to be produced in such small quantities in many regions. This truly is a special drink. I now know why Hawaiian coffee so expensive. Only 100 bags a year! How many times have I roasted a Panama Esmeralda Gesha or a Kenya AA without realizing that those are the very best of only 90 and 850 bags per year respectively. These fact really make me realize how truly lucky we are to be able to enjoy the very best of this wonderful drink. Great article, thanks.

paul hees Great stuff, a lot of interesting information presented in a condensed but appealing format. As a big fan of both, it never occurred to me that Ethiopia produces 8 times as much as Kenya. Wondering if China is still growing- thought Yunnan was on course to rival Vietnam? Thanks!

Health Report: Could Coffee Protect You From Skin Cancer?

As you’re enjoying the last rays of summer, consider that in a few years you could be lathering on the coffee to prevent skin cancer. Findings published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science suggests that chemicals commonly found in coffee have the ability to absorb UV radiation when applied directly to the skin. Researchers at Rutgers University genetically engineered mice to suppress the same enzyme that caffeine does in humans and have found that they were slower to develop skin cancer. Because of its ability to suppress ATR, the enzyme responsible for turning damaged skin cells cancerous, scientists have suggested that caffeine could be added to sunscreens to boost protection levels.
In a strange twist, caffeine molecules may also help you develop a nice tan in addition to protecting your skin from tumors and cancer. Caffeine has actually been shown to stimulate pigment cells, urging them to produce more color. So, a safer tan may not be too far on the horizon.

Legend of the Irish Coffee

With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, may the luck...and drinks, of the Irish be with you. Given the upcoming festivities, now is as good a time as any to take a look at the history of one of the most (in)famous, drinks in the world—the Irish Coffee.
In true Celtic fashion, think Leprechauns and pots of gold, the origins of the Irish Coffee begins with a local folklore...Legend has it that the drink was invented in a cafe at the now-defunct Foynes Airport. In 1943, on a particularly nasty winter evening, a flight bound for Botwood, Newfoundland made the critical decision to return to Foynes after several hours in the air. Consider that 1943 was during WWII and commercial air travel was really in its infancy—think well-heeled men and women on a flying-boat voyage. The circumstances of the diverted flight were trying at best and left passengers a little bit more than peeved.
Upon making the decision to head back to Foynes, the captain reportedly sent a Morse-code message to the control tower, alerting ground operations personnel of the impending return. At the terminal, preparations were made to welcome back the crew and passengers. I know, you're skeptical already; but keep in mind, this was the 1940s...flying was a glitzy affair.
Back to the regularly scheduled story...Head chef Joe Sheridan of the airport restaurant was hastily asked to make something to warm the passengers and lift their spirits. He decided to...well...add a little spirit to their drinks. After all what could keep you warmer and happier than a hot coffee and some good old Irish whiskey? As the night progressed and everybody had been served, one of the passengers approached Sheridan to thank him for the hospitality. Making small talk, the passenger asked if Brazilian coffee had been used to prepare the drink...To which Sheridan responded "No, that was Irish Coffee." The rest is history.
From that night forward, Irish Coffee was served to all passengers going through Foynes Airport. The tradition continues to this day; dignitaries arriving at Shannon Airport are still welcomed with a warm cup of Irish Coffee. Want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style? Try this authentic Irish Coffee Recipe:
Joe Sheridan's Original Irish Coffee
- 30ml Irish Whiskey
- Freshly brewed coffee
- 2 teaspooons of sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh whipping cream or double cream
Preparation
Preheat an Irish Coffee Mug using hot water. Try our Stout, Classic or Pedestal version of the mug. Pour freshly brewed coffee into the mug; add sugar and whiskey. Top with cream.

Jesse Nice Another version... ^_^
Cream as rich as an Irish brogue
Coffee as strong as a friendly hand
Sugar as sweet as the tongue of a rogue
Whiskey as smooth as the wit of the land

BIll Price Love your website, and that's a nice story about Irish coffee, but... the recipe leaves a lot to be desired.
3ml is about a half tsp whiskey. Perhaps you meant 30ml (1 oz.) or 3 Tbs (1 jigger). Similarly, 2 tsp of whipped cream is an almost invisible amount. More like 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons).
My favorite addition to Irish coffe is to wet the rim with whiskey, and frost it with raw sugar after the glass is warmed. Flaming the glass w 2 tsp whiskey helps seal it to the rim.

Angelo Palmieri I love Irish coffee in winter when I need something warm and sweet to help me make the day. I like your recipe, Bill, and one of this day I will try it. Thanks, AP

Amazing
As a treat, I had to try this espresso. It is ridiculous good. You can NOT mix or mess with this expensive treat. You gotta go straight up. I felt like I needed a sommelier to detect all the fancy notes in this over the top espresso. We love it! It is only a treat based on it price. We can't pull it off every day, it's a weekend thing. Love it.

The Ultimate espresso - best for ristretto
Best espresso I've ever made. Granted I live a couple miles away from Vivace so I can buy it with in one day of roasting. If you are interested in making ristretto shots (All drinks at Vivace are made this way) you will be blown away by this coffee. The amount of crema is amazing and the flavor is sweet and complex. This is a Northern Italian style with beans that are on the lighter shade of brown and not oily. You might need to change your grinder settings to be a bit finer and tamp a bit more to get the perfect ristretto but it is worth it. In a city filled with coffee people Vivace stands out as the city's unquestioned best place for Espresso.

Glad I Ordered....
After the auburn/gold crema,I was not so sure.I have had "Char"bucks,Illy's and Lavassa beans before and this just looked thin and uneventful in comparison.O.k. don't tell my wife I said this,but I was WRONG.Although it looked thin and two dimensional,when I tasted my first double shot,I was taken for a pleasure cruise.Vivace Dolce is very layered and complex,without being overbearing.It is rich,smooth,flavorful and truely does leave a pleasant aftertaste,that stays with you for some time(in a good way).I give props to this espresso bean and the roasters in Seattle.Fresh roasted and sent by air to Florida.I am spoiled.I will continue to change settings and grinds to maximize the experience,but this was absolutely worth ordering.

The Chocolate Mousse of Coffee
A luscious succulent find. An extreme difference from any bean run thru the machine. I'd never really experienced almost an entire cup full of crema and I have to say I'm digging it. It's almost like the chocolate mousse of coffee. Rich and decadent. Non acidic but not lacking in the dept of cojones. If someone liquified an old red brick this is what it would look like. Wasn't quite the experience out of our Saeco Super Auto at the office but still better than most and distinctive. Should I hold that against the bean? I think not. Giving it the big cinco. Nothing deserves a six. A man's gotta dream...

Very good shot with lots of crema.
I am impressed with the quality, these beans come in two small packs and they last for a while without drying out. It takes me about 2 weeks to go thru a pound and these beans last it and keep the good shots coming. The flavor is medium to me, not too bitter, but not too subtle. I love the complexity of the blend. Sip after sip is enjoyable to the last drop.

Very good crema every time, a very forgiving expresso as you can have thin or thicker grinds and it still pulls a shot with good crema.

mjackson ♦ Cindy a great question.
I have lots of suggestions. Coffee of course is very individual and I cant guarantee you will like all of these but I am pretty confidant you will. It is best to use a light to medium roast blend to get the best results with your machine. Here are some suggestions and links.

mjackson ♦ Allen,
It is a little darker roasted bean and it would work ok on a little coarser grind setting. The best beans for any super-auto are going to be a light to medium roast like Lavvaza. I would suggest you try the super auto sampler pack and see what you like.

Vivace Espresso Dolce
I have been enjoying Monaco Whole Bean Coffee but would like to try another bean. I enjoy Monaco for it is light roasted. I don't enjoy anything to dark. I usually make lattes and cappucinos with my Gaggia (that I just LOOOVE). I was wondering if Vivace Espresso Dolce should be my next pick in coffee beans. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate your advice.
Thanks a million.
