A mild Costa Rican brew, with a touch of cream... wouldn't mind a touch of sugar either.

Caribou Coffee is a mostly Minnesota chain, altho9ugh there are some in other states. They have a dark roast blend called Mahogany, and it is dreamy! I like it with heavy cream, and even though I'm trying to get away from sweetener, I use splenda with it too. Mmmmm, I love my coffee.

I don't drink coffee, but I tend to bring it back for folks when I travel instead of souvenirs. No trip to Chicago is complete unless I stop to pick up some from the vast selection they offer at the Coffee and Tea Exchange on Broadway Street. In Wisconsin there are several. Colectivo Coffee Roasters on Milwaukee's east side is another favorite. They roast their coffees at the Prospect location, or at least did my last visit. In the norther part of the state I always stop in and pick up some Door Country coffees. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others from my travels but those are the main ones that jump out at the moment!

I had a major scare in my life today. I woke up extra early, 4 AM, to get started on my coffee roasting for holiday gifts. Micro roasting is very time-consuming. But so worth it! I was 6 pounds into my plan of 15 pounds when all of a sudden my roaster stopped. WTH!😮
True, nothing last forever but this roaster only has about 200 roasting hours on it. Anyhow instant panic. I immediately started obsessing that I’d be drinking Folgers. 🤮Redundant, these thoughts were because I was panicking. I ground up some of the beans I just roasted, Costa Rican, which by the way is one of the best every day coffees there is. More on that later if you like .......Then I took the cup that I brewed and walked around the house looking out the windows collecting myself. Serious coffee drinkers will understand that. I hypothesized that the 20° temperature outside may have made The coffee roaster work harder than it liked, thus shutting itself down. Fire is always a concern when you roast coffee. To this end, that is correct. As I breathe A huge sigh of relief. I knocked out three more pounds and now I’m letting the roaster rest as the temperature outside continues to rise

Italian coffee
When home any coffee will wake my senses.If out of town it must be two strong shots of espresso daily.An espresso corretto works great but not until after dinner.
It's too much trouble for me to make it at home..but that's my favorite coffee. |

Can I romance you with some vacuum coffee? Your coffee drinking experience will NEVER be the same.

I'm always looking for the BEST coffee experience
Cold brew
Cold brew or cold press refers to the process of steeping coffee grounds in room temperature or cold water for an extended period. The cold-press process requires grinding: coarse-ground beans are soaked in water for a prolonged period of time, usually 12 hours or more. The water is normally kept at room temperature, but chilled water can also be used. The grounds must be filtered out of the water after they have been steeped using a paper coffee filter, a fine metal sieve, a French press or felt in the case of the Toddy system. The result is a coffee concentrate that is often diluted with water or milk, and can be served hot, over ice, or blended with ice and other ingredients such as chocolate. Cold brewed coffee naturally seems sweeter due to its lower acidity. Because the coffee beans in cold-press coffee never come into contact with heated water, the process of leaching flavor from the beans produces a different chemical profile from conventional brewing methods. Cold brew coffee is not to be confused with iced coffee, which generally refers to coffee that is brewed hot and then chilled by pouring over or adding ice, though it can refer to cold brew coffee served on ice.

Best coffee maker?
My Bonavita died. RIP. I liked it fine, but I don't think it was worth the $189 price tag. I think it was pretty crazy that I spent that much on a coffee maker, to be honest. But, I want something with quality, and what I did like about the Bonavita was the brewing at the optimal brewing temperature (195-205 degrees) and most definitely the shower head water system to ensure even water saturation. So, I would like to find both of those features, but I am concerned that it is the high temperature that made the cost so high. I'd like to keep it below $100.

Consider the NINJA. It definitely heats the water to the proper temperature. The biggest selling point for me was it blooms (pre wets) your coffee grounds. I got mine at Kohl's with a 30% off coupon (and on sale) for a little less than $80.00 This is the one I bought. (there are at least 6 different to choose from)

"Back in the day" (different days, in different parts of the world), when coffee was scarce, chicory was used instead or added to coffe to stretch it out. The thinking is that it "cheats the palate".
I guess it has a certain taste and people like it. Pretty much, it is "fake coffee".
