COFFEE IN A CAN.

we get it. it's thick.

If you've never heard of El Bulli in Spain, they you can't be that into food. And if you've never heard of Lavazza, well that's not such a big deal.

El Bulli is considered by many food critics to be the world's best restaurant, and has had that title for quite some time now. Located just outside Barcelona, you need to book your table months in advance (it receives almost 1000 reservation requests a day). It's one of our ambitions to one day have dinner there. With Rachel Bilson. And Audrey Hepburn. Yup, unlikely to happen.

Lavazza is a famous Italian coffee company, sort of the Nescafe of Italy. But better.

Together, head chef Ferran Adria and Lavazza have come up with Espesso. It's made by combining ingredients in a pressurized cannister for 12 hours, then sprayed into the espresso cup and eaten with a spoon. Normally this would sound like a gimmick, but given Ferran's rep and the fact that it's a runner for Time magazines product of the year, we're pretty eager to give it a try...
