A Tale of Four Americanos

A Top Pot Donuts opened across the street from work, which is both a blessing and a curse.

Bellevue has no shortage of coffee places - there are three Starbucks in a two block radius of the office, and two Tully's - but finding a good Cafe Americano (or even a good cup of drip) has been damn near impossible.

Turns out that in addition to really yummy donuts, Top Pot makes a pretty reasonable Americano. It looks like espresso, complete with crema, smells like espresso, and has flavor beyond the "acrid bitter" that Starbucks and Tully's seem to aim for (and hit pretty reliably, I might add).
