I like Napoletan espresso - darker roasted, lower acid, rich, lots of Crema and small. Also like a bit of Robusta in there. I don’t altogether appreciate a lot of the 3rd wave stuff we get in LA. Reminds me a bit of natural wine, though I’ve had a few cracking shots too.
I’ll report back!

Fair enough. Where you at @Jung ? I live in South Pas. Drinking some Ratio from LAMill this morning which is very nice. It's pretty dark for what they call a 'light' roast.
Also strongly, strongly recommend Quiet Prophet from Unincorporated Coffee in Altadena. Medium roasted but has exhibits no 3rd wave qualities whatsoever. Medium-dark with the following notes (according to them): FULL BODIED, SWEET AROMAS, TOASTED ALMONDS, CHOCOLATE.

This is my over riding experience of Italian espresso
Which is fine when there’s some grappa handy
But wouldn’t be my go to for home drinking
