I am very particular about my coffee. I experienced my first cup of Costa Rica Cerro Del Fuego one morning after a restless night. From the first sip I knew I was going to have a good day despite my previous night. I gave my husband his first c... Read more.
For years all I ever knew was Starbucks burnt coffee taste. I finally took the plunge and bought a home espresso machine which meant buying some fresh coffee. I bought some Novo coffee based on previous user reviews and let me tell you each cup... Read more.
OK, yes, I am bit obsessive about my espresso. How obsessive? Mad scientist obsessive. I taste and make at least 10 espressos every single day, 365 days a year. Just to train and develop my palate. I weigh to precision the 0.1 gram of coffee I u... Read more.

This coffee was SPECTACULAR. I loved the Klatch Panama Carmen Estate. It was without a doubt one of the best coffees I have EVER, EVER had. I guess the best endorsement came from my boyfriend who is super-fussy. He is actually a very sweet guy... Read more.

I don't know if it's the best espresso in the world, but it's the best I've ever had!! Get some. You will not be sorry. It has many delineated layers that change with each sip and a non-bitter finish that goes on for miles like a fine wine. T... Read more.
