Allegro Organic Italian Roast



   Here is another bean I get to showcase from the people over at Allegro Coffee out of Colorado. Allegro feels great coffee isn’t about overwhelming our palate, it’s about giving our senses a rebirth. Allegro's coffees capture a taste and tradition that permeate every step of the journey from seed to cup. Since 1977, when they established themselves as one of Colorado’s first specialty coffee producers, Allegro Coffee has continued to perfect the time-honored, artisanal traditions that make their coffee the most flavorful we can find. They want every cup of Allegro coffee to be close-our-eyes good. 

   This is their Organic Italian Roast blend. Beans from stellar Rainforest Alliance Certified farms in the Americas are roasted to intense darkness in this blend. I did a kyoto cold brew of this, but the darker beans just aren't my favorite in that brewing style, so I opted to brew this mainly as a pourover. I use a 1:16 ratio when I do my pourovers. Allegro notes this to be a velvety, rich, and bittersweet bean. That is definitely the case. Nice roastiness. Dark chocolate & nutty. Very smooth cup of hot coffee. Bet this makes for a tasty espresso. Another great bean from Allegro coffee. 

   Many thanks to Stephanie and Allegro for the tasty beans.

   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...

   Today I have a wonderful bean from the folks over at Oak & Bond Coffee Co. After developing a passion for coffee, Oak & Bond Coffee Co. founders, Brian and Lauren McCulloch, continued to explore for their perfect cup. they were in search of a rich, vibrant coffee that they could share with their family and friends. They first found their perfect cup from a small micro lot in the Chapadas de Minas region of Brazil. It was at this point that Brian and Lauren took the leap to open Oak & Bond Coffee Co. To this day their goal remains, share their passion for sourcing the highest quality coffee with you.    This is their Chardonnay wine barrel aged Ethiopia coffee. It's a Semi Washed Guji bean with the barrel being sourced from Napa, California. Oak & Bond notes flavors of bright white grape, lemon, watermelon, & cocoa. First of all, love the packaging. No doubts this will be one of my favorites for 2019. Next, the bean was crazy awesome. But ...
