Espresso Espresso Espresso

VS.




So I'm at work right now, talking across my desk to my boss. And I ask him a very, very serious question..."Are you taking down Covim Gran Crema off the website?"

Its a fucking sad day, let me tell you. My favorite, and possibly one of the most expensive espresso pods we sell isn't being bought by our costumers. :( My boss tells me "Yeeeeeeuh, no one buys cases anymore, so that's an indicator that its not going to do any better then it is right now." I reply, "You know whats my favorite espresso here right!?" My boss' response "No, I didn't know that. Have you tried the Izzo Vivi? It has a similar taste to Covim Gran Crema." But of course, I knew what I liked more, "I enjoy the Vivi when I have something sweet to go along with it (my boss ordered two brands of Stroopwafles which went very well with Vivi) other than that, Covim Gran Crema takes the cake because of the awesome crema is makes when produced."

From the charming Ligurian Riviera and the home of Christopher Columbus, COVIM has arrived in the US. South American, African, Far Eastern and South Asian coffee beans are carefully selected and roasted in Genova, Italy, to produce the highest quality and flavor making COVIM one of the finest roasting houses in the world. Covim Gran Crema is a blend of 20% Arabica (blend of Brasil Santos, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Santo Domingo) with 80% Robusta (blended from Southeast Asian and African countries).



Izzo Caffè was founded near Mt. Vesuvius in 1979 by Mr. Vincenzo Izzo as an artisan-based coffee roastery, and has been striving with passion to produce real Neapolitan espresso for over 25 years. In the course of these years of activity, a strong spirit of enterprise, along with a technically and commercially qualified team, has laid the way for the Company's rapid growth, thus gradually establishing its presence on both the national and international market. Vivi Caffe Espresso — "An Espresso for the Road...". Vivi Caffe makes a strong, hearty cup of espresso — A great morning wake-up coffee. Vivi is a blend of, once again, 80% Robusta (highly caffeinated, very strong tasting) and 20% Arabica (low caffeine content)
