Me And The Cat!!!

[shadow745]

Any of you out there use Black Cat from Intelligentsia? If not you should be..... It is outrageous for espresso and does well in milk also.

I've been using it for close to 2 years now and it always impresses me. I just received a 3 lb. shipment yesterday after not ordering for about 7 weeks. Tell you one thing...... 7 week old beans is horrible and I shouldn't have let them go that far, but now that I have super fresh Cat in the house I'm happy once again and looking forward to many double ristrettos with it. Later!

Hey from Carolina

One way to get fresh roasted coffee is to roast it at home then grind it just before you use it. Green beans can be kept for a couple of years before they are roasted and it is a great hobby and a lot of fun.

No he just likes to share where he gets his coffee. Most shameless plugs will include a link to the site in the post.

CCafe, I didn't know you had it in you, to be so witty. :wink:

Thanks for the review Shadow.....

Not trying to advertise any companies...... This is a COFFEE REVIEW section........ Just like the short review I did for Espresso Toscano in a previous topic.

I'm sure home roasting is the way to go, but I'm too much of a perfectionist. I'd end up spending way too much time trying to get every bean just right and I'd rather leave the roasting up to people that know how to do it.... LOL..... And my wife won't let me go near anything else coffee related. Later!

Black Cat

It's great espresso, we used it for a while when we were moving our roaster, that and Batdorf's Dancing Goat are similar, Ethiopian stands out
