My husband is from Sorrento, Italy and loves his expresso coffee in the morning. It remainds him of his home country. Without telling him I switched from totally acid dark roast coffee to a mixture of Teeccino and expresso dark roast. He loved it and couldn't tell the difference. Little by little I am adding more Teeccino in the expresso pot. I also love it in my cuppuccino. Actually it tastes even better than the old cuppuccino. Thanks for inventing it!! Ciao, Jill p.s. I forgot to tell you I use the Teeccino dark Maya Roast mixing it with the Expresso.
