Many of you are aware by now that I am a total coffee aficionado – I love coffee in most all of its forms. Anyone who is a coffee lover also knows about Andrea Spella’s espresso cart on SW Alder and Park in downtown Portland. Andrea is doing espresso in the authentic Northern Italian tradition, from hand-roasting the beans himself to pulling shots from his lever action Rancilio espresso machines.
Just in time for the wet doldrums of winter, Spella has opened a bricks-and-mortar location on SW 5th between SW Alder and SW Washington downtown. It’s a cozy little location, a nice place to dash in on a break from work for a quality, hand-crafted espresso or bag of freshly-roasted espresso beans. Take the time in the new year to drop by and say hello and have some great coffee!
