Notes: Coffee City is, in surprising fact, a town in Texas. Reviewed here is proprietor and roast master Ray ("Raymundo") Johnson's signature espresso blend. Visit www.coffeecityusa.com or call 888-223-6768 for more info.

Blind Assessment: Reader Jim Beckham of Athens, Texas reports he drinks "about a pound a week of this espresso. I frequently try others, but I always come back to this great blend." I might come back to it too. Dry fruit, chocolate and leather notes, fat body, smooth, round, completely without bitterness. In milk excellent authority: rich, developing from dry chocolate in small dairy to milk chocolate in large.

Who should drink it: Those who value natural sweetness and a rugged elegance in espresso. Needs no sugar, either in the small cup or with dairy.
