This is the second coffee I’ve tried from Corvus; the first was their Everyman Espresso<\/a>, which had nice chocolate and blueberry notes. Thanks to Method Coffee<\/a> in Dallas for having fresh bags in stock!<\/p>\n

One thing I noticed last time but didn’t mention is that Corvus seems to employ unusually long bags to package their beans. Because I have multiple beans at any given time at my house, I keep the coffee in its original bag so that I don’t mix them up or forget what I am drinking. I will typically use a long-handled coffee scoop to transfer the beans from the bag to my scale for weighing and brewing. However, the height of Corvus Coffee’s bags is significantly higher than average, and my coffee scoop just isn’t long enough to reach the beans without my arm having to go halfway into the bag. It’s a minor annoyance, since I can just pour the beans out instead, but if I were able to change the length of their bags, I’d ask them to shorten them by just a few inches (or to glue the bendy-tab thingie a few inches lower so that we could cut the inches off ourselves).<\/p>\n

(A comparison of the length of Corvus Coffee’s bags next to bags from Chromatic Coffee and Roseline Coffee.)<\/p>\n

Whole bean: Bright, robust scent with a creamy finish. Ground, I smelled yellow cake and cinnamon.<\/p>\n

V60: Nice bright flavor on the front, but there was a strange cardboard flavor on the finish. However, the brew got creamier and sweeter as it cooled.<\/p>\n

AeroPress: This was my favorite of the bunch. Thick, rich, spicy coffee that was bright but smooth on the tongue. I drank this as a concentrate (no additional water added) because I really loved the warm cinnamon flavor along with the citrusy notes.<\/p>\n

Chemex: Dark chocolate. Overall it was a bit dry on the finish, and not very complex.<\/p>\n

French press: This cup smelled just like a Creamsicle (orange and cream)! Creamy mouthfeel, but not very sweet. It had a taste of tart mandarin orange on the finish.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong>: I particularly enjoyed this coffee made in an AeroPress, as I felt that method brought out the most interesting and lively flavors. The French press was a close second.<\/p>\n

From the roaster: Creamy orange, cinnamon, buttery, ripe blood orange, almond brickle<\/p>\n
