Pistol & Burnes Roasters ~ Puerto Colombia

Good blended taste giving a brightness to the cup. These roasters
are paying lots of attention to the acidity of the bean, with
pleasant results. Satisfying all round light coffee. Not for
those seeking a muddy experience. Reviewed

Pistol
& Burns Roasters ~ Bolivia Caranavi
Fair Trade - A bonus to pysche and the
earth. |
In sampling the coffees of the Americas I often find that they
do not offer the body I crave in my cup. However,this coffee has
a nuttiness along with a smooth fullness that was extremely satisfying.
Definitely not a "watery" experience from this bean. Lends itself
well to the french press brewing method. The added bonus is that
it is a Fair Trade Coffee, so for a little extra cost you can
drink good coffee and feel good too.

Seattle's
Best Coffee ~ Saturday's Blend Coffee |
This is a complex blend of East African and South American coffees
roasted for a slightly sweet taste with a touch of spicy notes.
I found it was a satisfying sweet full bodied blend, with a nice
edge.

An earthy sweet full-bodied blend that offers a rich, bold taste
and great aroma. Recommended as a great after dinner or end of
day coffee. Reviewed
