Espresso Novo is a great and momentous discovery! With
smooth notes of caramel, banana, and a nutty finish, this is one
of the most complex and remarkable espressos ever! Herb
Brodsky and his sons Jake and Joseph are a remarkable family.
To Herb every cup is like a song… a Bob Dylan song. He’s part
hitchhiking poet, part bohemian writer. Jake, a scientist of
coffee operations, obsesses on coffee perfection, getting primo
beans from his brother Joseph, their world-traveling sourcer.
They treat coffee like fine wine, so beautifully presented, even
their packaging looks like a fancy gift. There is good crema and
Karma in every sip of this amazing and tantalizing Espresso. |

As we move into summer and the sun shines bright, I dream
of a full and dark chocolatey cup of coffee to chill out
with in the heat. Equators FTO Mocha Java has remained a
favorite at GoCoffeeGo. Perfect for the morning, I often
serve it hot and enjoy it with a sweet flaky pastry. As the day
goes
on, I make
extra and let it chill out in the Sub Zero. Poured in a frosty
glass with some rich and thick organic milk and you really
have something that is a bold cup of sweet summer love.
Helen and Brooke, owners of Equator only source fair trade
and organic coffees for this wonderful balanced and smooth
Sumatra and Ethiopian blend. This coffee was formerly
known as 72 Degrees and La Boulange Blend but you may just
call it your new favorite coffee and the summer love you never
want to end! |

This is an outstanding Espresso from PT's. Its syrupy lush
chocolate body with notes of juicy cherry sweetness hits with all
the right milk chocolate notes. Round after round, shot after
shot, its tangerine like acidity provides a tang-like jab to finish
you off. Truly a knock-out and World Heavyweight Champion
Espresso of the World! Great for iced coffee and Toddy too! |

Every coffee has a story and Big Truck Espresso is no
exception. Inspired by his
childhood memories, roaster Oliver Stormshak learned
to drive in his Grandpa
Joe's green 1955 Chevy Truck. As he grew into a man,
Grandpa Joe was a
mainstay in his life and has remained a great role model
who has inspired him
ever since. He taught him life lessons and the
importance of hard work. This has
helped make Oliver the great roaster he is today. This
commitment to excellence
rewarded Olympia with the 2013 Roaster Of
The Year Award. Oliver
and crew created Big Truck Espresso to be Olympia's
flagship espresso and it
does not disappoint. It's a classic, just like Grandpa Joe
and that 55 Chevy. It is
always great, memorable and consistent. A solid, big
bodied espresso with sweet
chocolate notes and a dense fruity finish. Big Truck is a
mix of beautiful organic
coffees that are often washed, honeyed or natural. They
change from season to
season but it is an espresso you can always count on to
deliver. Grandpa Joe
eventually sold the truck but the memories live on in Big
Truck Espresso. |

Ahhh…The thought of coffees from the Huila region of
Colombia make me smile in anticipation. Colombian coffees
have a wonderful reputation as being mild and well balanced
in the cup. Olympia’s San Sebastian Reserva is no exception.
Creamy and smooth notes of caramel, baked apple and panela
make this a great sweet and mellow drink-all-day-coffee.
When roasters and farmers work together, they can do great
things. The San Sebastian Reserva Project promotes long
lasting quality focused relationships between farmer and
roaster. A staff cupper in Colombia ensures quality by cupping
100’s of samples. The best and freshest crops that command
attention are sent to Olympia. This beautiful washed coffee
from OCCICAFE won Olympia’s heart. Try it and it will win
yours. It does not have to be Valentine's Day to fall in love. |

Everyone knows that New York does everything big.
Dallis Bros. really hit the mark creating a big city
espresso
that would be worthy of the Big Apple. Yes, its big
and bold, just like the city. It has panache! It is
unapologetic and produces
crema filled espresso shots that really pack a punch.
The sweet and smoky bittersweet chocolate notes are
delivered in a heavy body. It is great! One taste of this
classic espresso and you are sure to put this on your
go-to list in a New York minute! |

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! |
