I popped these slippery suckers in my grinder, and they emitted the lightest jist of java jazz, but that’s all the joy it had to offer. There is nothing pleasant about this bean and barely any buzz.
The flavor is dark, not rich, just dark and bitter. No amount of cream I added diluted spike of disgust each sip brought. A little bitterness in coffee is natural, but no amount of cow juice was gonna make this dirt sing. Add to the disgusting taste, there was barely any kick in the cup(s) I drank. A low caffeine buzz is admirable if I’m looking for a cup that won’t keep me up past bartender’s hours. It’s just that I care too much about my self-worth to suffer sucking on a dirty gym sock to get a baby bump of energy all day long.
Final thoughts? I brewed four batches to make sure I wasn’t chock full o’nuts and decided each one reminded me of what The Grinch’s bathroom must smell like. I tossed the rest of the beans in the garbage and went shopping for another bag.
First of all, love the name of the blog. Second, you did a fantastic job with some of the descriptions. I never would have thought to compare something to The Grinch's bathroom, but that's stuck in my brain now. Good stuff!
“diluted spike of disgust…” LOL
That made me spit out my coffee.
Organic Coffee from Kirkland out right now at Costco is insanely good. Organic Mexico Oaxaca medium roast.
