Spella Caffe is an authentic Italian-style cafe in Portland, Oregon, founded by Andrea Spella. The cafe focuses on traditional Italian coffee culture, emphasizing the importance of milk as a complement to espresso rather than a primary focus.
Inside this video
From HungryNation:
“That's the premise of my business is to reintroduce people to Italian culture where espresso originated.”
“I don't over roast them. I roast them so the oils inside the beans are developed but they haven't come out to the surface.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 5% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. No Reddit or YouTube roaster-level signal is on file. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore reflects the limited per-lot evidence plus the methodology's neutral baseline.
