Earlier this summer, I visited the District of Columbia and while there, visited a La Colombe coffee shop for the first time. I’ve reviewed La Colombe coffees before (their Nizza espresso and their single-origin Colombia San Roque), and while neither were exactly to my personal taste, both were exactly what they said they were; their […]

Review: Driftaway Coffee Colombia Huila Finca el Tabor (Brooklyn, New York)
This review will be a both a usual and an unusual review, in that Driftaway Coffee operates as a coffee subscription company with constantly rotating offerings, so while you may not be able to get these exact beans, I wanted to do a full review of the beans I did receive to give an overview […]
Review: Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters Sunset Blend (Dallas, Texas)
Davis Street Espresso is the home cafe for Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters here in Dallas, but though I’ve gotten pretty familiar with OCCR over the past 2 years, I hadn’t visited Davis Street Espresso until quite recently because 1) I just don’t go out for espresso much and 2) I’m not typically in the area […]

Review: Trader Joe’s Colombia Geisha (Monrovia, California)
Despite me listing Monrovia, California as the home base, the Trader Joe’s chain of markets can be found all over the United States, in 41 states and in the District of Columbia. It’s a place I enjoy shopping for groceries, as they have products available no place else, and I’ve appreciated their range of items […]
Review: Roseline Coffee Colombia El Ventilador (Portland, Oregon)
I ordered this bag at the same time I ordered the Roseline Ecuador Rosa Encarnacion, and I knew that as bright and divisive as the Rosa Encarnacion was, this Colombian coffee was likely to be completely different. I tend to gravitate toward Colombian coffees when I want something tasty and interesting but not too outside […]
Review: Blue Bottle Kenya Embu Gikirima (Oakland, California)
Technically, I purchased this coffee at the end of 2016 and wrote up notes on it very soon after purchase, but I wanted to save the review to start the new year off with a bang, and Blue Bottle seemed like a good roaster to start this blog off on the right foot in 2017! […]
Review: BeanFruit Coffee Company Ethiopia Sidama Guji (Jackson, Mississippi)
This is the second of two bags of coffee I had the pleasure of receiving from the BeanFruit Coffee Company, based in the Jackson, Mississippi area. Their Kenya Nyeri Chinga Peaberry really knocked my socks off, and I was excited to see how this washed coffee from Ethiopia compared; I do have a soft spot […]
Review: Corvus Coffee Peru Satipo Finca Tasta (Denver, Colorado)
This is the second coffee I’ve tried from Corvus; the first was their Everyman Espresso, which had nice chocolate and blueberry notes. Thanks to Method Coffee in Dallas for having fresh bags in stock! One thing I noticed last time but didn’t mention is that Corvus seems to employ unusually long bags to package their […]
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: 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 […]
