Crema Coffee Roasters was the other coffee roaster (besides 8th and Roast<\/a>) that I wanted to make a special effort to check out during my trip to Nashville. Though I was only in the cafe for the amount of time it took me to choose a bag, purchase it, and leave, I noted it was a bright and airy space with lots of warm wood tones, and I would have stayed longer if I wasn’t paranoid about getting a parking ticket. They had several varieties of beans on the shelf that were extremely fresh – only a day or two post-roast. Quite a good sign!<\/p>\n

Whole bean: milk chocolate, applesauce.<\/p>\n

French press: Tangy flavor of apple that was sweet on the front with a rich mouthfeel. Strangely enough, though, it felt and tasted hollow as the flavor lingered, like something was missing. If this was food I would have added a bit of salt. But, since this was coffee, I just opted to try another brewing method. I know some people salt their coffee<\/a>, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it this morning.<\/p>\n

Chemex: Gorgeous cup that was like a creamy rendition of apple cider. Sweet and vibrant! Much more my speed.<\/p>\n

AeroPress: Really nice to drink straight as a concentrate – better than the French press version. This had a more intense and vibrant flavor but was still quite sweet and pleasant to drink. It certainly had the flavor I was missing before.<\/p>\n

V60: Similar in taste to the Chemex cup but less sweet.<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong> I really enjoyed this coffee for its apple notes, and those were brought out best in the Chemex and the AeroPress.<\/p>\n

From the roaster: caramel, ginger, apple<\/p>\n

This coffee is no longer available online, but here’s a link to the roaster’s online shop:
