Ted says I gave this a 4.5. I drank this with him for the Leaderboard coffee game.

I wrote down 4.5 in our Leaderboard notebook but no details so see Teds.

Smooth, easy to drink, interesting but low acidity. I liked it.

Easy to drink with the right level of acidity!

Sampled a few days ago with Ted. Rated 4.5 but didn't leave any notes.

Fruit forward, a bit savory. I gave it a 4 the first time, a 4.5 after trying it the second time. The first time it seemed quite acidic.

Super sweet, like a dessert! I get chocolate and cane sugar.

Took awhile for Ted to dial it in!

I liked this and Tropical Summer a lot!

4.5 like eating a gingerbread cookies. Really smooth coffee.

Cupping Method:Atomic Cafe in Beverly

Good as pourover but really good as espresso!

Very tasty!

Very nice! Liked more in a tasting vs another coffee from US roaster from same region.

Very nice! Fruity and smooth.

Amazing aroma. Tastes like strawberry wine. One note with the chocolate is too strong is the only thing I didnt like.

Great with milk.

Cupping Method:Cafe au lait

Much better than expected for this sort of thing. I like that it wasnt too sweet.

A very good latte here!

Cupping Method:Beachwood location

Juicy and smooth, very good!

This one was really good. I normally prefer Latin American coffee over African ones!

Made a great latte!

Made a really good latte!

I thought this was great as pourover, so easy to drink!

Very good! Almost too floral.

This is very good espresso and I'd be very happy with a latte made with it any day of the week.

Very good. I got green apple and bittersweet chocolate.

Citrusy, smooth, and easy to drink. Light and not bitter at all. Great!

The latte at Daily Provisions was very good. They used Amsterdam Blend from Joe Coffee!

I had the opportunity to sample Atomo coffee this past weekend at the New York Coffee Festival, and I must say I was genuinely impressed. I had it as latte, At first sip, the brew harmonized beautifully with oat milk, creating a creamy and full-bodied texture nearly indistinguishable from traditional coffee.

But what truly sets Atomo apart is its innovative and eco-conscious approach to coffee. I'm not really sure how it's constructe, but thought it'd be fun to poke at the ingredient list. Crafted from an intriguing mix of upcycled ingredients, this beverage blends the rich, earthy tones of date and ramon seeds with the nutty hints of sunflower seed extract and millet. The inclusion of fructose and pea protein likely adds to its smooth sweetness, while the unexpected pairing of lemon and guava introduces subtle fruity undertones. Fenugreek seeds might contribute a hint of aromatic spice, and of course, there's the added kick from caffeine.

Coffee, one of the world's most beloved beverages, unfortunately comes with a set of environmental challenges that question its sustainability. Deforestation stands at the forefront of these concerns. Traditional coffee farming often involves clearing vast areas of rainforests to create coffee plantations. This not only leads to a significant loss of biodiversity but also disrupts local ecosystems, affecting both flora and fauna. As forests act as carbon sinks, their destruction contributes to increased carbon dioxide levels, exacerbating climate change.

Another challenge is the overuse of water and agrochemicals. Coffee plants require a substantial amount of water, and in regions where water is scarce, this can strain local resources and lead to conflicts. Moreover, to combat pests and improve yields, many farmers rely heavily on chemical pesticides and fertilizers. These chemicals can leach into the soil and water systems, posing health risks to local communities and harming aquatic life. Additionally, the volatility of coffee prices on the global market can lead to economic instability for farmers, pushing them towards unsustainable practices in a bid to increase yields. These multifaceted challenges highlight the pressing need for sustainable coffee production methods.

Atomo helps with both of these. I hope it finds a market. I'm a picky latte drinker and it cleared my bar, so it has the potential for sure!

I had a very good latte made with this espresso.
