At Ecco, we take such care with our beans.  You have to trust that, before it reaches the consumer, the beans are prepared correctly to coax the absolute best flavor from the coffee.  Gelato Bar does it right.” says Barnett.

Gelato Bar uses the Synesso Cyncra espresso machine, manufactured in Seattle, Washington. The machine is a highly engineered product developed from years of espresso extracting research.  It uniquely enables trained baristas to pull shots to the maximum effectiveness by delivering and maintaining pinpoint water temperatures throughout the entire extraction process, producing a superior cup of coffee.  Gelato Bar is among the few cafes in greater Los Angeles that use the Synesso machine, including Urth Caffé, Intelligentsia, and Caffe Luxxe, all known for their coffee artistry.  In addition, Ecco drip coffees are being ground and manually brewed by the cup, with a pour over drip system, promising the absolute freshest cup of coffee possible.

“Andrew is a recognized leader in the vibrant coffee roasting business and we’ve noticed that there is a growing base of customers seeking out the independent caffé for their coffees.” says Silverton.  “Even with challenges of today’s economy, Joel and I feel that Gelato Bar’s beverages and quality premium gelato allow our customers to treat themselves to the small indulgences that we provide.”
