Africa was the same way; we picked, dried, and ground our own coffee. Had never had coffee taste like cinnamon or bananas before that, it spoils you.

Not a fan of flavored fufu coffees

Well this was in the bush, not the local Starbucks

I worked in Chasefu, Eastern Province, Zambia for 5 years and never saw or drank fufu coffee there. We didn't have a Starbucks there either.

What other brands do yall like? Any other small roasters?

I think I've told this story before but I was not a coffee drinker at all until I had kids. Then I needed the help.

So my big irrational new dad fear was spilling hot coffee all over a baby. So when I started drinking coffee I started making cold brew almost exclusively. I will make hot coffee with the aeropress or pour over with a hario v60 on occasion, but I still mostly make cold brew.

Picked up some of these on my last trip to the panhandle and liked the first bag so much I ordered a second: Bosque Coffee Roaster High Mountain Pinion. This time I tried the dark roast and it looks a little too oily for me, but the original high mountain was really good.

When I do cold brew I do a coarse grind and about a 1:11 ratio, then overnight in the fridge before I drink it, so usually 16-20 hours before I pull the beans out. This was 290g of beans and 110 oz of water.

I know some people prefer 1:8 for cold brew, but with this ratio its good to great basically straight from the jug, not super concentrated. I'll make a big jug of it and drink it for 3-4 days, then make another one.



Coffee mug to show scale.

What's the name of that machine?

Lol that's the exact same bad boy we've had since 2007...just HEB blend vice folgers

This is why I recommend Acquiares. I've had the privilege of touring their fields and processing facility. They provide coffee from many different processing styles. I tend toward washed processing as opposed to honey or natural.

Costa Rican coffee from Turrialba region is not a bad choice.

I agree with the even their typical grocery store bags. The lowest quality is 1820 cafe but it still makes a decent cup of coffee.
