Incredibly smooth, easy drinking Colombian with a lot of subtle complexity. Very smooth with balanced acidity. Black tea, honey, and ripe tropical fruit are what I get. Outstanding.

Really outstanding. A lot of harmony in the way things come together. Tons of natural sweetness. Brown sugar, honey. A touch of black tea. Balanced fruit characteristics.

Maybe the best medium roast pourover Ive had this year. Super smooth, super balanced with a tangerine/lemon acidity.

Cupping Method:Pourover at Concord Market

Maybe the best large chain cold brew coffee. Usually a bit pricy but worth it. Super smooth, balanced acidity. Always happy with one of these.

Cupping Method:Bottles, usually from Whole Foods

This one is very well done for an inexpensive, fair-trade, organic coffee. I love the values of Equal Exchange. Definitely get a smooth/creamy feel to it, along with the dark chocolate.

Cupping Method:Filter

Tandem does great Ethiopian. Definitely a black tea platform, lots of fruitiness, definitely get the peach, maybe a light raspberry.

Cupping Method:Pourover, Hario v60 @ home and at Clover Food Labs

We drive 30 minutes out of the way to get this cold brew and the amazing pastries here.

Cupping Method:We stop in Portland on our Maine trips for it.

Grabbed this bag after a sampling at Clover Food Lab. This is an outstanding Ethiopian thats all fruit yet super smooth. Black tea is the prevailing platform, with hints of floral honey, red grape, and peach.

Cupping Method:Chemex pourover

Actually cant believe how good this blend is even though Im drinking it at a museum cafeteria. Super super smooth, chocolate is front and center with some good fruitiness. Reminds me of great Colombia drip.

I checked and this is the Clover Food Labs house roast. So smooth and easy to drink. Not even the slightest hint of bitterness.

Cupping Method:Many times as pourover, hot and iced at Clover Food Labs.

This one is super trippy. At the core its a recognizable Sumatra in aroma and natural smoky boldness. But then you actually get very distinctly the taste notes described by the roaster - bubble gum, pineapple black cherry.

Chemex pourover

Best dark roast nitro cold brew Ive ever had. Super creamy, fruity, and smooth without over taking the boldness. Not at all bitter.

A wonderful blend, something you could drink every day. Has that elevated breakfast blend feel, with mild chocolate caramel notes transforming into a berry/kiwi/tropical acidity. Balance and structure is great. Best executed of 3 blind tastings blends this week.

This one is so subtle. First off, very smooth and balanced platform. Strong black tea resemblance, with candied grapefruit and bergamot.

A clean and very pleasant finish.

This Swiss espresso was one the best I found during my summer tour in Europe, where I drank at least 4 a day, ha ha. Smooth medium roast with a lot of body and crema. Nutty flavors with just the right amount of acidity.

Cupping Method:Doppio and flat white in Zurich cafes

Had in my notes that I loved this coffee and ordered it at least 10 times based on receipts from Clover Food Lab. Little Wolf is great so no surprise!

I love this coffee from Speedwll that's served at Clover Food Lab. Not sure if they still have it but my receipts show I ordered it at least 7x!

One of the best cold brews out there. Balanced, with a great fruity acidity. Occasionally get the craving to drive three hours to Vermont to pick it up.

Cupping Method:Available in cans, or on tap in Woodstock, VT.

Angels Cup blind tasting. Nice nose with some florality. Lemongrass, black tea, cola, a touch of cranberry. Lots of natural sweetness. Delicious.

I noted liking this espresso quite a bit. Its served at one of my favorite coffee shops in Nantucket, MA.

Legit. This a winter 2022 tasting espresso, 1.5 oz extraction at 94 degree Celsius. 5 stars. Balanced, beautiful acidity, bergamot, pomegranate. Like a unsweetened bar of 70% dark chocolate. Nice linger on palate.

Great medium blend espresso. Comes as advertised with chocolate, orange peel, and cherry notes. Bright acidity and full crema.

Caff Vergnanno just rocks. This is a balanced and nuanced espresso. Beautiful crema, lingers ever so long. So many things going on. Honey, caramel, brown sugar notes. Acidity is just right, sugared grapefruit and candied lemon.

Cupping Method:Eataly, then home espresso

Just about a perfect an Italian espresso. Brilliantly aromatic with a big bright crema. Like an expensive dark chocolate with blackberry acidity.

Cupping Method:Eataly cafe, home espresso Lucca A53 Spaziale

Vibrant citrus. Clear on noise. Lime, bergamot, tea, pomegranate. Very smooth. Very light. Delicious if you like this style.

Really small beans, seems like a unique/interesting lot. Have not seen this coffee widely available elsewhere.

Cupping Method:Chemex pourover, 205 degrees, unbleached filter.

This is brilliant. As good a non-Gesha Colombian light roast as I can remember having.

Beans were mixed and a bit irregular in size. Thought it might have been a blend. Amazing nose out of the bag, rich cocoa, nuttiness, spices and sugar, like brownie mix in a bowl before mixing.

That character comes through in the cup paired with a lively acidity.

First thing I get out of the cup is a warm brownie. Theres a great acidity balance, like a pomegranate with a tiny hint of citrus. Very clean finish with a nice linger on the palate. Extremely smooth and balanced.

Cupping Method:Blind tasting. Pourover, Hario v60

Undated notes from the past. Not clear if still available. Delicious, complex journey of a light roast with bright acidity, citrus, and bergamot.

Cupping Method:Chemex pourover

Ooh, this one was very, very nice. Super smooth throughout with a lot of structure and earthiness but still fruity acidity throughout. A nice natural sweetness to it. Got some mandarin and brown sugar notes, and maybe a strawberry rhubarb pie hint in the acidity. Awesome.

Cupping Method:Pourover, Chemex

Great aroma out of the bag. Awesome crema on espresso. Definitely get the caramel and peanut notes. Stone fruit and tea at the end. Nice linger on the palace. My wife loves the cappuccino we make with this. Our two local cafes sell this blend, and it is a staple for us.

Pretty, but irregular beans. No matter, an outstanding coffee.

Great nose on the grind, nutty and caramel.

A lot of interesting fruit in the cup, tropical, stone fruit, balanced, smooth. Angels Cup blind tasting.
