90	Fratelli Lollino Chicago, Illinois Caffé Espresso Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: April 2002 Origin: Not disclosed. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: An exceptional versatile espresso that maintains complexity and intrigue from small cup to big milk. Nuance ranges from chocolate and walnut to fermented fruit and malty/musty tones. The musty notes are sharp in the finish of the small cup but turn splendidly round and rich in milk. (87 straight espresso, 93 w/milk)

Notes: Fratelli Lollino is a Chicago-area wholesale roaster with a long and respected history as a supplier of espresso coffee. Visit not available or call 1-773-889-0777 for more info.

Who Should Drink It: The musty fermented fruit tones may put off the purist, but everyone else should enjoy the authoritatively rich, edgy complexity of this blend.
