Mr. Espresso

@MRCNRocinante Thanks for being a fan of our coffee! We appreciate you!

@MayorShengThao ... bad mayor chant off 😎 @mrespressooak are premium beans and I personally use and recommend them! ... good people of Oakland, you may continue the bad mayor vibes! 🤣

Oakland has a deep, rich history when it comes to coffee. Founded 45 years ago by Carlo Di Ruocco, Mr. Espresso provides world-class coffee that is roasted right here in Oakland. His son Luigi expanded on that legacy last year with the opening of The Caffe by Mr. Espresso, located downtown at 1120 Broadway. Hear directly from Luigi about their specialty coffee, delicious lunch, and baked goods, as well as their special for Oakland Restaurant Week! And find out more about the 160+ restaurants like Luigi’s participating in Restaurant Week at visitoakland.com. Happy Eating!

Delicious any day of the week!

@coffeetographer And making it to “just over 300 years” just might be a stretch.

that's a negative for me. I need to enjoy coffee along the way to my wealth.

@ButterLoveBakes Will you have tomorrow, too?

Caffè Festivo — our first holiday blend. Because, aren’t the best things worth waiting for! Coming soon!

#FlashbackFriday This got our week started! Thanks @sal_castaneda & @KTVU Mornings on 2 team for inviting us on. We loved kickstarting your Monday -after-the-time-change with #MrEspresso coffee & a little latte art lesson. Watch for @thecaffeoak coming soon to Downtown Oakland!

@sal_castaneda Our reco: no burr grinder at home & go through a bag of coffee in a week or two, have your beans ground at purchase—either by your coffee shop barista or at your grocery store (deli may do it if no public grinder is available). We’re happy to help with any other coffee questions!

@sal_castaneda Thanks for Monday’s visit! Burr vs blade: the rotating burrs grind coffee beans much more evenly, producing a consistent taste in your cup. Blades actually chop, giving uneven grounds—often resulting in more bitterness in the cup

Do you grind your own coffee or buy ground coffee? If you grind your own, do you use a burr or a blade grinder? Can you really tell the difference? I don't think I can. Keep in mind I have been known to occasionally drink office industrial coffee which may disqualify me.

Thanks to @KTVU for inviting us to share a little caffeinated kick on Monday morning after the time change! Our own Mehdi Chung walks @sal_castaneda through the steps for channeling some smooth barista moves at home. ktvu.com/video/1140177
