Hi,

I visited rural Nicaragua about two years ago. One morning the woman I was staying with gave me a cup of coffee that has haunted me ever since- It had a wonderfully organically sweet, vanilla taste, was smooth, no bitterness (though no creamer had been added for sure). I have done research on Nicaraguan coffee since and have bought coffee beans that was marketed as distinctly sweet, but I have always been disappointed to find that the coffee, while having some sweet notes for sure, wasn't that beautiful sweet taste that I had once experienced. I've tried adding vanilla extract, sugar, etc, but it always had that artificially sweet taste. Let me explain that I wasn't a coffee drinker at the time so I had no tolerance or taste for coffee was pretty poor.

Does anyone have knowledge of how Nicaraguans brew coffee to get that sweet taste? It has to be more than the coffee beans used. Please help me recreate that perfect cup of coffee.

Thanks
