86	Jeremiah's Pick Gourmet Coffee San Francisco, California Espresso Roast: NA Review Date: August 2000 Origin: Africa; Central America; Papua New Guinea; India. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: A balanced, straightforward West-Coast American espresso. In the demitasse bittersweet with a slant toward the bitter side, complicated by brisk cocoa tones. Medium-bodied but smooth. The cocoa tones turn agreeably fruity in milk, where the shot softens without losing character.

Notes: A balanced, straightforward West-Coast American espresso. Jeremiah 's Pick is a small-batch wholesale roaster that supplies coffee to upscale supermarkets and gourmet foods markets in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Who Should Drink It: Cappuccino and caffe latte drinkers without pretensions. In the demitasse best with a touch of sugar. A serviceable espresso blend that produces a flavorful shot even when the brewing falls short of perfection.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
