    Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Coffee

    It has a wonderful scent but not much body. I received bags from two different online specialty roasters and they both were the same - wonderful scent but not much body. The second pot I made I added extra grinds to the pot and still came away wanting. I think it has to do with the fact that...

    The Bitter Truth About Why Your Coffee Isn't Tasting as Good Lately

    Hi Buckhorn, I was with my sister in the supermarket the other day and she remarked that the coffee aisle no longer smells like coffee. It's true. Usually that aisle draws you in but there was hardly any coffee scent in that aisle any longer. Something is definetely going on with coffee in...

    The Bitter Truth About Why Your Coffee Isn't Tasting as Good Lately

    Buckhorn, I've come to a recent conclussion on why all coffee, no matter how much you pay or where it is purchased taste like crap, besides because cheaper beans are put into the mix. I think the problem has more to do with Botanist developing coffee plants that no longer need to be grown in...

    The Bitter Truth About Why Your Coffee Isn't Tasting as Good Lately

    Be that as it may, some people like espresso and others don't. I happen to like it in a cappuccino, but usually after a nice Italian dinner out. In my home I preferAmerican style coffee. I don’t know if it’s the Robusta beans or the fact that coffee is being grown differently to increase...

    The Bitter Truth About Why Your Coffee Isn't Tasting as Good Lately

    That is so true. I read an article a few years ago on how botanist came up with a way to grow coffee in full sun, as opposed to it's natural state under the shade of trees, just to increase yields. For a while now I had attributed that reason for why our coffee didn't taste as good as it used...

    Coffee Around The World....

    One of the best cups of coffee I ever had was in a hotel in Puerto Rico in the 70s. The hotel brought the pot up to the room and the coffee was with cream and the color of gold. My friend and I wound up staying longer in that room than we intended while we polished off the whole pot. It was...

    I finally received my order the other day and they sent a nice coffee mug along with the order too. But, to be honest, the coffee is lousy. The Ethiopian and the Columbian taste horrible. I have to use double the amount I normally do of the Ethiopian and while it has a nice taste it has no...

    Hi Rose, I posted a link to the article The Bitter Truth About Why Your Coffee Isn't Tasting as Good Lately. I posted it twice and each time the article disappeared. All the article was talking about was why all the major brand coffees no longer have the rich fragrance or taste we normally...

    Does this site censor posts

    Two times I submitted a post and 2 times it disappeared. There was nothing controversial about the post except to tell about a common practice coffee sellers (big names) were now using to save money. I included a link where anyone interested could read about the story. Just curious why a post...
