Had to hurry and use my Whole Foods Nicaraguan before it got any older. So I made a big batch of cold brew. I don't think I let it sit long enough though, as it was kind of bitter. I should either let it go a full 12 or even 13 hours, or grind a little finer. Anyway. Iced up a cup, poured a bit, and used a bit of milk to mask the off flavor. Still a good cup of coffee.
Guatemala Huehuetenango Baudilio Castillo Micro-lot (from the Sweet Maria's Xinabajul project) from the Kone. These Xinabajul coffees - beyond being a cool concept, which they are - are really great coffee lots. In my limited experience, they have ranged from solid to actually quite stunning. While I don't think the blend they released of these coffees really jives with the spirit of the project, the microlots really have my attention.
Been using a mix of Folgers Black Silk and Seattle's Best (Level 3); roughly equal amounts. I did it to make room in the refrigerator. Wow, tastes great!
Interesting. I don't know if they fill thermoses in Canada. Over the past year they have been converting their stores to McCafe. They have improved their coffee massively.
