Why espresso?

People often ask us why espresso? Many people understand our love of coffee culture, but why not a latte or cappuccino they often ask, or god forbid, the ubiquitous Canadian double-double, which will soon rank right up there with the beaver, the maple leaf, and poutine as enduring symbols of Canadiana (if it's good enough for Peter MacKay and Condoleeza Rice it's good enough for you). More than anything else though, we here at Wenzel follow a philosophy of humanism and prefer things that are sized relative to human needs. We find the towering silos of coffee as unthinkable as the milkshake, coffee-laced confections used to lure children into the caffiene soaked world.

. . . and we're not alone in our thinking. Ever wonder about the nutritional value of that five dollar cup in your hand? Check out this report, Good Coffee, Bad Coffee: How to surivive in latte land.
