Started drinking "Monte Real" after having a FEW cups at an open air bar/cafe in Sosua over 10 years ago.
I drink "Cafe Expesso Santo Domingo as well.
I prefer to buy the roasted "beans", and then grind it myself.
Any coffee you drink in the "Campo", strained through an old "sock" is also very good!
I also like "Starbucks" Capuchino "Batido"!
I agree, "The BEST" is whatever the ambiance makes it "The Best"
"BEST" I ever had in the DR, was visiting a "Girlfriend's" house in Villa Altagracia about 20 years ago.
Her mother used the "Old Sock" method.
I asked where she got the "Cafe"?
She pointed to the open window, and said "There"!
The coffee bush was growing through the window!
Her daughter was pretty "Tasty Too!!!!!
She was "Strong,Sweet,HOT,and Black"!
I will leave off the "Last Line", too close to Jesus' birthday!
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Oh, I like "Thai" iced coffee the "BEST"!
TOO.
