Today I have another great coffee from the folks over at Rosalind Coffee.

This is their San Isidro. A washed Columbia bean from the Huila region. I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio. Rosalind notes flavors of nectarine, mandarin orange, & marshmallow. I definitely got the tartness acidity of the citrus. Nice bright orange. Also got a creamy chocolate/cola as well. This was a very interesting cup. Think I will try this at my 1:8 ratio next time. See how that turns out.

Thanks again to Walt & Rosalind for the interesting coffees.

Seven Seas Laos: Setapoung Village

January 18, 2019

Here I have another great bean from Seven Seas Roasting Company. Seven Seas was started by Eric and Rob during their years in the armed forces. They randomly bumped into each other at a coffee bar in Bangkok and the real coffee journey began: the journey where coffee farmers are treated like humans and where the coffee they produce tastes damn good too. What they found out on their travels became the impetus for Seven Seas Roasting Co: what most call fair trade is nothing more than an airline calling economy seating comfortable. So, they set out to change that. The name Seven Seas Roasting Co. is a nod to past explorers and adventurers, who risked everything in the pursuit of reaching new lands in search of exotic rewards to return with. This is their washed Laos: Setapoung Village bean. Nestled in the backcountry of Lao’s Bolaven Plateau, few outsiders ever venture down this dusty path. Here, the remnants of the Vietnam War have been swallowed into ev...

PUCKPUCK cold brew device

December 06, 2018

Today I have an awesome piece of equipment for you guys. Meet the PUCKPUCK. PUCKPUCK is an attachment that turns any AeroPress Coffee Maker into a cold brew drip system. The PUCKPUCK allows for a controlled slow dripping of water over a bed of coffee, creating a uniquely versatile cold brew that can be enjoyed over ice, with milk, or as a mixer with your cocktails. The patent-pending twist drip valve means the setup is done in seconds and if you pair this with the PUCKPUCK Drip Counter App available for Apple and Android you can achieve a more exact calibration to perfect your brew. Another design feature is the universal screw thread on the PuckPuck which means you can can pair certain types of mineral water bottles with the PuckPuck to create a lightweight piece of kit allowing you to slow drip coffee wherever you go. Only certain brands of water bottle fit the screw thread for PUCKPUCK and currently the only option they have listed for the US is Evian Still. ...

Alamance Kaffee Werks Black Label Edition Rum Barrel Aged

December 12, 2017

Today I feature a tasty bean from Alamance Kaffee Werks out of Graham, North Carolina. Alamance Kaffee Werks was started from the enjoyment of amazing coffee by Daniel Krenzer & Kevin Jordan. Daniel's love of coffee came after visiting Corlesto Coffee Roasters in Billings, Montana. He's been to Costa Rica and Thailand, two totally different coffee experiences, and became enthralled with what these regions are offering the coffee world and how coffee is embedded in the culture. When not working with coffee, he works as a school psychologist in public education, primarily working on behalf of students with disabilities. And as such, part of his proceeds go towards non-profit organizations that provide mental health supports for children with Autism and brain injuries. Kevin's story started while on a mission trip to El Salvador. It has been through the introduction to roasting he has been blessed to experience once again a truly excellent cup of coffee. The tast...
