Now don’t let the simplified cleaning process for the blade grinder lure you to purchase one. Why? You will NEVER ever experience a truly excellent cup of coffee until you invest in a burr grinder. Now there are all sorts of burr grinders out there, and they are most certainly not cre...

I moved from Korea to Sweden back in the summer of 2010, and that unfortunately marked the end of my coverage of Korea’s best cafes & roasters (and a few of its quirkiest). However, I get a lot of people asking for recommendations about where to visit in Korea. A number of interesting...
There’s nothing like a cup of freshly brewed coffee to start the day right, but once you’ve finished your drink, there’s also nothing like having to deal with the used coffee grounds to remind you of the rest of the day’s chores. If you are like me, you’ve probably felt at least sligh...

Billed as an "Xtra Bold" on Tassimo’s new strength scale system, brewing these T-Discs resulted in very strong earthy notes at first which gave way to sweet notes of milk chocolate at the forefront of the aroma. This was rather unique since most dark roasts & extra bolds we’ve had in ...

The first cup I made was when this coffee was only 4 days old. An under roasted, almost papery taste filled the crevices of my tastebuds. It was unappealing. I adjusted ratios and even switched brewing methods, but nothing seemed to change. I left the coffee sitting around until it ha...
COFFEE. There’s a moment. A moment when daylight lingers a little longer in the forest; a moment when the snow slowly begins to melt off of the tree branches; it’s the moment when the sap starts to run, kettles boil and liquid amber maple syrup is born. It’s the moment that Spring arr...
