I spent a lovely 24 hours in Denver recently, and picking up some coffee was high on my priority list. I’ve tried coffee from a number of Denver-based roasters before (Huckleberry, Corvus, Commonwealth, Boxcar), so I was excited to see what I could get my hands on in person. As fate would have it though, I […]

Review: Zojirushi 16-oz Stainless Steel Mug
This Zojirushi travel mug is the second travel mug that I received at Christmastime (the first being the Contigo AutoSeal). I don’t actually travel with coffee a lot, as I prefer to drink it at home out of ceramic, but I wanted a travel mug for its insulation capabilities and for those times when I’m […]
Review: Wrecking Ball Coffee Ethiopia Classic Yirgacheffe (San Francisco, California)
This is my first experience with Wrecking Ball Coffee. I had initially heard about them through this article on Sprudge, and found their approach to coffee interesting (iced cappuccinos?? I’m not big on iced drinks, but kudos to them for trying something new). Plus, I love that their house espresso blend is named “Pillow Fight“! Someday […]
Review: Roseline Coffee Kenya Othaya Peaberry (Portland, Oregon)
I went back to Houndstooth Coffee in Dallas recently to see if they had any more bags of the Roseline Ethiopia Limu Gera I reviewed. They did not, but they did have this Kenyan coffee that sounded delicious. I try not to get swayed too much by roasters’ tasting notes (in fact, I try not […]
Review: Chromatic Ethiopia Guji Sidama (San Jose, California)
Chromatic Coffee is where I get one of my favorite espresso blends. I figured it was high time I tried some of their other offerings, so I added a bag of this Ethiopia Guji Sidama to my most recent order. Whole bean: mild, light, sweet, and fragrant. Reminded me more of perfume than coffee. V60: At […]
Review: Commonwealth Coffee Colombia Carlos Muñoz Nariño (Denver, Colorado)
When I visited Oak Lawn Coffee in Dallas and purchased beans recently, I got a free to-go cup of drip coffee. That cup of drip was so tasty, I turned right around and walked back into the shop to demand (nicely!) to know what it was, and it turned out to be this roast from Commonwealth. On […]
Review: Roseline Coffee Roasters Ethiopia Gera (Portland, Oregon)
I know I bring them up a lot on this blog, but I have to give props to Houndstooth Coffee in Dallas for continuing to offer an intriguing rotating selection of roasters in addition to their house roaster (Tweed). On a recent visit, I was delighted to see bags of Roseline Coffee! I have reviewed […]
Review: Corvus Everyman Seasonal Espresso Blend (Denver, Colorado)
On a recent visit to Method Coffee in Dallas, they had fresh bags of this in stock, so I decided to check them out. I had not previously heard of Corvus, but the independent DFW area coffee shops that I frequent have not steered me wrong yet! Poking around their Mission page, I learned that Corvus prefers […]
Review: La Colombe Torrefaction Nizza Espresso Blend (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
This is the second bag of La Colombe coffee that I’ve had in recent months, and this was the reason I wanted to order from them in the first place: I had heard that this company is known for their espresso. If you read my other La Colombe review, you know that I was a […]
Review: Contigo Autoseal West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug
I was lucky enough to be treated to not one, but TWO new coffee travel mugs for Christmas. I had previously shopped for travel mugs by looking at Amazon reviews, but as often happens, reading all of the reviews paralyzed me and I was unable to decide between the Zojirushi and the Contigo mugs. As […]
