I did taste this in a proper cafe, served by properly certified & trained baristas. Never been to any other shop that had better baristas. So I will say, it was quite exceptional, completely out of the park. They also offered the Elephant version, which was also completely different and...

I'll tell you my experience on both: LaMarzocco 4 group: It was an older 4 group semi-auto Strada, only 3 groups worked, not one brewed the same. Needed major work, but it got the job done for the boss. Coolest thing was the LaMarzocco grinder: You had to insert the portafilter, it...

I currently use 3 coffee makers. 1. Aeropress 2. Mokapot 3. Superauto my comments on each over here: http://www.coffeeforums.com/forum/coffee-reviews/4206-better-than-jamaican-blue-mountain-2.html

Your symptom reminds me of what I've seen some old Nonna's do when the "caffe non va bene." They pick it up and hit it on the counter a couple times. Imagine using it like a hammer, once, twice, maybe three times. It's a rare problem and should not be considered normal. Do you get a...

I can confirm. I get my Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee every month from FastCafe and they have a blue bag. Can't beat the FREE shipping either... if your order like me. 2 lbs or more for free shipping I think the deal is... Sorry for the late reply ;)

This thread is almost 10 years old wow! Been a long time reader here, usually don't post much. But I saw old post and wanted to say that my trusty source for Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and Kona coffee is still sending me great coffee. It's fresh and I brew it a few ways: 1. Aeropress...

Regarding Memory, Blueberries are one of the greatest thing you can consume to improve your memory! I have them regularly and noticed my "off day" when I don't have them... Here's a good article which talks about several benefits of blueberries...

Well I went and ordered 2 pounds, 1 for me and 1 for a gift ;) That's a good reason to order 2 pounds worth of this delicious brew! I'll let you know when it arrives and how it turns out! WOOHOO!!!

The technique of the Lever Pull is the key to making a nice espresso. It took several shots to learn how to get one to just come out with a little crema. Experiment with slower opening, durations of time open, and the force in which you close the piston valve. It might cost you a few bucks in...

Thank you Coffeeguy, Jackson, & Cafeblue for your replies :) Wow, this forum is active & I applaud your great wealth of information!

I have visited Starbucks about 10 times or less. Everytime, I ordered Espresso. Everytime, it was put ordered "for here" EVerytime, it was too bitter Everytime, it was not hot enough, the ceramic cup was too cold and sucked all the heat... I've been to lots of family owned coffee shops...

Hi, first timer poster, long time reader here... :D I'm looking for some place to find the best 100% Pure & Fresh Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee in Whole Bean Form. I'm specifically looking for non-wallenford Jamaican. I've tried it and it hasn't been as good as some other JBM that I've...
