On Sale NOW!

I have always thought that my favorite non-espresso brewing method was a toss-up between the French Press and the AeroPress…until now!  A couple of weeks ago I ordered a Bodum Santos stove-top coffee maker to see what all of the hub-bub is about with this siphon pot coffee brewing, and I’m glad that I did!

I was originally set to shoot a vac pot tutorial video this week, but plans change. 🙂 I have been bestowed the honor of joining Scott Jangro and Todd Crawford on their podcast show, CoffeeCast! You can listen to the show at CoffeeCast.fm or on iTunes in the days to come. During their last show, Scott and Todd were talking about McDonald’s McCafé offerings. It was quite surprising to see a fast food establishment decide to offer espresso based drinks! Let’s face it, Mickey Dees employs many young teens, who are not exactly knowledgeable baristas!

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…]
