In The Press: LA Magazine - Killer Coffee
There's no end in sight to Angelenos' jones for coffee. First came the art house cafes with fancy drip, then the blockbuster chains with industrial capacity. Now we've hit a moment of refinement, with cafes as serious about their beans and their brews as beat poets are about their message. A Caffe Luxxe, only espresso is served. Co-owner Mark Wain uses one blend of beans to coax the maximum sweetness into a ristretto (short espresso), and another blend, with enough body to stand up to milk, for a latte or a cappuccino. That's the kind of specificity we like to savor.
