Ask anyone, and you will find that they never forget
their first. A memory from long ago that even today is
never far from my mind. Her name was Belle
Espresso, a friend brought her to my house one
evening, knowing that we should meet. He was right.
She had a medium body and looked just my type.
With a come hither look, I picked her up and carried
her to my coffee machine. I surrendered and closed
my eyes. I could not resist her aroma… Brandy,
Chocolate and Caramel and how lovely she looked
glistening with oil. I had to have her. Steam excitedly
shot from my machine wand as I pulled myself a shot!
As I brought Belle to my lips, I wondered how many
others knew her and if they felt the same about her,
as I did... It was at that moment I knew that coffee
was not just coffee, it was so much more and I would
never forget her. That beautiful Belle is Klatch’s Belle
Espresso and her memory will never fade away.

Attention Chocoholics: looking for an espresso that is
super duper chocolatey? Then Klatch House
Espresso is for you! I have been pulling shots all
morning on my new La Marzocco GS3 and am loving
it! Not to be confused with their
FTO House Espresso…This espresso is ultra rich and
has a heavy, creamy
body. Add steamed milk to the Klatch House
Espresso and it tastes like a Mocha without adding
any chocolate and all those calories. It is really quite
amazing. On my 3rd cappuccino this morning I
decided to experiment. While I never add sugar to my
coffee, because of the over the top chocolate body of
the espresso, I wanted to see what would happen if I
added a touch of sugar and a spray of whipped cream
on top. Well, as suspected, I felt like I was drinking a
real hot cocoa! I swear I was in back Paris having an
Angelina Hot Chocolate on Rue de Rivoli. Well, not
exactly. It isn't as thick, but almost. Because of its
richness in milk drinks, it may be a bit heavy for those
of you that slam 6 double Cappuccinos or Lattes
before noon, but for most people it will hit the spot
as a great mainstay to have on hand when you want
something sweet and naughty. For many people that
is everyday and all day long!

This dark roasted velvety masterpiece from Massachusetts
roaster John Mahoney’s Atomic Café is an exotic mix of beans
sourced from Papua New Guinea (PA-poo-Y nyoo GIN-ee) and
Costa Rica. The mix is quite wonderful because it produces such
a rich yet clean and refreshingly smooth cup. The smokiness
never overpowers. Dark roast lovers rejoice! Brewed hot or cold,
it can be sipped all day long. It’s an east coast/ west coast
brokerage house customer favorite and one of mine too.

Bird Rock's signature,"Bird Rock Blend" has what it
takes to be a great and classic cup that I will now lean
on as a go-to favorite. I love how the chocolate tones
transform into a thick and gooey, candy-fudge-like
finish. Yum! The Sumatra and Ecuadorian beans are
wonderfully combined and orchestrated by roast
maestro Charles Patton, the 2012 Micro-Roaster of
the year. His commitment to excellence is
unwavering. He personally travels to origin,
conducting a world-wide search to select the specific
beans that will produce the flavor profile he plans to
create, then after returning home, Charles "dials it
in" through various test roasts and numerous
cuppings until he achieves that perfect balance and
harmonious tonality he sought and now has brought
to the cup. This robust, medium-dark roast is a stellar
offering! If you have not had Bird Rock yet, order this
and taste why the crew from La Jolla, California are
2012's top award winners.

One taste of this spectacular coffee, The Red Den Blend, and I knew that Dallis Bros. was destined to be on GoCoffeeGo. Dallis Bros. has created a bold and creamy dark roast with the perfect mix of spice and chocolate. Yes, The Red Den is a real classic and a new GoCoffeeGo staff favorite. If you think this is a favorite only with the dark roast lovers, think again! The light roast lovers are praising it as warm and comforting and perfect for those that like some milk in their coffee. The boldness is a perfect pairing for rich deserts, like those chocolate brownies they sell down the street. Make this new customer favorite a favorite of yours. Order today!

I am not quite sure why my choices in coffees seem to shift
with the change of the seasons. Every year around this time,
when the holidays start rolling in and the sky changes colors
and darkens, I crave warmth. I am drawn to naughty, sweet
childlike
flavors in my coffee. I think we all find rich and heavy bodied
coffees comforting. I can have a few luscious cups and feel
happy but often, as the day goes on, I tend to switch it up.
Dallis Bros Unisphere Blend has always been a yummy
cup that is light enough to drink all day and still give you the
happy sweet cup that you crave. While listed as a light roast, I
find it more of a medium-light. The milk chocolate, caramel,
plum, nougat and malt flavors could make this one of your
year round favorites. It certainly is one of mine!

This Espresso is truly outstanding! As an Espresso, the
aromas of pear blossom and grilled honey crisp apple
transform into a nice silky liqueur. It's not over yet! Then tart,
but sweet notes of apricot, tamarind and cashew combine and
take you to a juicy and nice long finish. One taste and I yelled
out "Oh My God!" - I love this as a drip too. It's fruity qualities
truly make it a wonderful cup. I could drink this, all day long.
The Boss! Winter Espresso - Get it while you can -- as long as
it lasts. Another exceptional espresso from Barefoot!

Looking for adventure? No need to jump a plane.
Barefoot has just the cure for the summer blues with
their Adventurous Drip Sampler Pack. This sampler
contains coffees that are brighter and fruitier. Perfect
for those of you that
sleepwalk comatose to your coffee machine in the
morning drinking the same old reliable
coffee you order every time or that wallow in
indecision. Snore...
Wake up! Mix it up a bit! This set could be a
real eye-opener. Like a DJ choosing a playlist,
Barefoot keeps things exciting with smaller
sampler 8 ounce bags from a lineup of their current
more complex and fruity seasonal drip coffees. It is a
nice opportunity to try a
few Barefoot offerings and see what you think. At the
very least, it will leave
you feeling well traveled without the jet lag. For those
that want to play it a bit more safe there is also a
Barefoot
Traditional 3 bag sampler which tend to have more
chocolate
notes, heavier mouth feels and are less complex.
These are really great as well. Try this or don't!
Whatever you do, just try
something different today!

Morissa, Morrissa, Morrisa…What can I say? Every
call I make to the Barefoot roastery is answered by
you. Last week. I called inquiring about Barefoot's
latest espresso from Papua New Guinea and you
whispered in my ear…Fig, Sweet Jam, Cola berry and
leather. Leather?! I gasped and my heart raced. I
pleaded for her to stop end my agony. She told me to
check the mailbox. I paced in front of the office. At 2
pm the mail came. In it was a
bag of Barefoot's Arokara Espresso. I ran to my La
Marzocco, opened the bag.
The smell was heavenly. With a pull of a shot I was
launched to the moon. I want you to all know this
this is one amazing expresso. I
wished for the larger size bag. That 2.5 pounder.
Perhaps I will ask Santa for that. Oh dear. Must I sit
on his lap?... The espresso was sweet and complex,
like Morissa and had that chocolatey earthy body
that warms and comforts so nicely in these colder
winter months.
It punches through the milk well and the
fruit makes it a bright and jammy cup. The leather
snaps it into shape. Try this espresso. This could be
your new favorite.

Outstanding! I consider myself quite the Aficionado, Klatch
Coffee has created an out of this world -- out of body
experience
in a cup. A recollection: As I peddled my way through
Northern
Italy on my bicycle, back in my fool-hardy days, I came across
an
espresso bar and a lovely barista, as sweet and delicate as this,
she had balance too, just as this, and has a soft aftertaste -- oh
this one is just like Sofia--
ahh... My friends a must have! Not only has Mike produced
amazing progeny, including his daughter Heather who is a
world
Barista Champion, he also produces amazing roasted coffee!
