Kaffibrugghúsið Guatemala Los Arroyos – It has been a little while since we got to drink these Icelandic sweethearts, normally the time between using them is quite long due to the high shipping costs and how long it actually takes to get here (note the coffee was roasted 2-3 weeks ago). Here we are again,Continue reading “October 2021 Coffee: Kaffibrugghúsið Sweeties and stunningly unique from Little Wolf”

September Coffee: Vivid Coffee Roasters – – Kaffa
Kaffa El Pino – I sincerely wish I could have gotten this one to more people as it was the surprise this month. I don’t know why it was a surprise, as it is the #2 Acevedo cup winner. Maybe I’m just a bad person with bad coffee intentions? El Pino is the farm ofContinue reading “September Coffee: Vivid Coffee Roasters – – Kaffa”

Junto Guatemala Finca Medina – It was just one month ago, I was so excited that I was using an alternatively processed Guatemala because I hadn’t seen much progress from the Country.

July 2021 Coffee: The Barn fruit bombs and Kafferaven… also fruit bombs.
The Barn Ethiopia Bombe – Ok so I know this is almost cliché since this is an Anaerobic Ethiopia but holy shit everyone this one is a winner. The anaerobic process was MADE for Ethiopian coffees and I’ll try to include more of them as they are freakishly good. The word Bombe basically comes fromContinue reading “July 2021 Coffee: The Barn fruit bombs and Kafferaven… also fruit bombs.”

March Coffee: Kaffibrugghusid and Junto HEAT
Not sure which roaster to geek out over more this month. This month Junto came through so hard with their offerings that I was able to choose three distinct coffees; a couple of you might even have more than three different Junto coffees depending on if you partook in the special add-on coffees from Colombia.Continue reading “March Coffee: Kaffibrugghusid and Junto HEAT”
February Coffee: Ecuador Francisco Vintimilla and Burundi Gaharo Hill
Ecuador Francisco Vintimilla (Putuchio) – Sey Ecuadors are what keep me motivated to continue investing my time in coffee. The flavors and complexity from terroir, advanced picking skills, and processing are like nowhere else in the world. However, they are usually a LOT more expensive than any other coffee so y\’all better appreciate this stuff.Continue reading “February Coffee: Ecuador Francisco Vintimilla and Burundi Gaharo Hill”
The cutest little bag of coffee in the game: Little Wolf Coffee from Ipswich, Massachusetts
Those close to me have surely heard me rant about the phenomenon of small micro-roasters that have popped up across the lower Midwest and the southern United States in the last few years.
