In order to get a coffee from one of the national franchise (donut) shops even remotely close to my Dino's coffee shop ...I have to ask for their dark roast versions.
Dino rotates through a half dozen different beans each morning. All are brewed to give a strong cup....no matter what bean he ground that morning.
If you're needing it - he can add 1, 2, or 3 shots of expresso depending on the size of your cup. A "Shot In The Dark".
I tend to abuse my scooter on the ride home if i have more that one shot....
