Ahhh, it’s good to be back!  Wow, it’s been over a month since I’ve published a video, and I was really feeling it.  This video is full of great info about Kona coffee, but admittedly so, it’s a bit dry.  I didn’t really notice until I was finished, but I seem a little on the mopey side…not at all the case, but video tends to require a little more pizazz.  Okay, enough ripping myself…

Kona coffee….what is it?….why is it so freaking expensive?…is Kona coffee worth the huge price tag?  Those are the questions I am [Read more…]

Hello again coffee friends!  I’m back after a nice week of camping, hiking, fishing, cliff diving etc 🙂  One question I’ve gotten a few times is “how do I get quality coffee while camping?”  Many people think of using a percolator while camping, and predispose themselves to using this less than preferred method of coffee brewing while roughing it.  I have put together three easy camp coffee methods that will all produce a quality cuppa joe!  Oh yeah, all of these wonderful methods cost less than $30!

The first method is the travel french press.  Certainly, you can cart around your full size glass press pot, but why risk breakage and take up precious packing space?  I purchased this exact mug myself a month ago, and I must say that I am impressed.  It’s is a very unique design that offers great coffee brewing capabilities, even on the run!  Just throw a scoop of coffee in and add water that is 30 seconds removed from boiling.  Give it a stir for a few seconds, put the lid on and [Read more…]

It’s really funny that I sang a few bars of Neil Diamond to open the show!  Now Neil Diamond is a trending topic of Twitter…lol.    This week I received two pounds of Kuhlman’s Koffee, one of their Ethiopian Natural Organic Sidamo Guiji and a package of Fair Trade Sumatra Mandheling.  The packaging doesn’t carry any organic or fairtrade certified seals, but the company says that it is certified fairtrade and some are certified organic while others are organic, but not certified.   I found the organic Ethiopian to be [Read more…]

CoffeeNate #12: Berres Brothers Coffee Review

Howdy, glad you have visited me this week for my review of Berres Brothers Coffee! I received two packages of their coffee, one was the Ethiopian, and the other was a flavored blend called Highlander Grog.  I’ve been on a bit of an Ethiopian coffee kick as of late, purley unintentional mind you, but I have must say that this region has grown on me…along with the lighter roast.  I’ve tasted a few companies’ versions of the Ethiopian region and I must say that Berres Brothers is [Read more…]
