Product: DISK Company: Coava Coffee Roasters For as long as I’ve had my Aeropress, I’ve searched for alternative filters. The paper filters designed for the Aeropress have never tasted satisfactory to me, even with a good rinsing beforehand. I’ve cut up Chemex filters, but that’s a bit too much work on a regular basis. [...] Product: kone Company: Coava Coffee Roasters While a long list of phrases could accurately be used to describe specialty coffee for 2010, to me, the past year largely stands out as the peak of the resurgence of pour over brewing. The Hario V60 family, Chemex Brewers, Abid Clever Coffee Dripper and even the Beehouse [...] Beans: Guatemala La Concepcion Buenavista Roaster: Stumptown Coffee Roasters Rating: 3+ Occasionally I have a strong opinion about what coffee I want (or don’t want) when I’m buying beans.

My primary goal at the time was to [...] Beans: Kenya Muburi Kirinyaga and Guatemala Finca Semillero Roaster: Ritual Roasters & Stumptown (via Four Barrel Coffee) Rating: 4 & 4- This post isn’t a Ritual vs. Stumptown taste test even though it does compare one coffee from each of these two roasters. What I’m hoping to illustrate with this comparison are the [...] Beans: Decaf House Roaster: Stumptown (via Four Barrel Coffee) Rating: 4 When it rains, it pours. That seems to fit the weather around here this past week – that and (relatively) frigid temperatures. Of course, what I had in mind with that cliche remark wasn’t weather, but decaf coffee.
