A Great Coffee Deal

By Max Jacobson | December 1st, 2010
Serious coffee is served at Sambalatte (750 S. Rampart Blvd.). I’m impressed. For $2, the café grinds and brews coffee to order—100 percent Arabica beans from Brazil, Guatemala, Colombia, Sumatra or Ethiopia. The beans are roasted locally, by Colorado River Coffee Roasters.
It gets better. Sambalatte’s Flat White (halfway between latte and cappuccino) is a bargain at $2.75. The espresso used to make it is a blend of Ethopian Harrar for boldness, Brazilian for creaminess and Colombian for balance.
This is also one of only two places locally to get coffee made with a siphon (the other being Social House at Crystals). Water is heated in a bubble-shaped vessel and filters back down into a round globe, creating a clean, intense brew. The $10 charge produces coffee for four. Get more information at Sambalatte.com, or call 272-2333.
