We’ve found our favorite so far. We are in a tiny town, O Porto de Bares. We had lunch in our hotel restaurant, a simple small-town place. We both couldn’t believe how good our after-lunch coffee was. Usually I like a lot of milk in my coffee because I’m not a fan of bitter. This coffee was rich and strong but not bitter. It had less milk than usual.
Brand was Siboney. Again, was it the coffee itself or the specific roast? Was it the espresso machine used to make it (Gaggia)? Was it the barista? I told her how much we liked it and she said it was the milk and pointed to a carton of boxed milk on the counter. I’m sure that the right kind of milk helps but can’t believe that was everything that made it good.
We both agreed it was the best coffee we’ve ever had in Spain and maybe in Italy as well.
