No, I'm not really a coffee snob; honestly, I'm not. I like good coffee, yes, but I don't bore people with endless talk of beans, roasting, grinding, etc. How could I? I'm no expert, so I'd sound like a complete idiot. Besides, when all is said and done, it's still only a hot drink, right? I just appreciate drinking the stuff when the quality is good. There's really nothing quite like the pleasure of a great cup of coffee.
In search of the ever better cuppa, I biked over to Brandmeester's this afternoon to pick up the two Grand Cru coffees I ordered at the beginning of the month.
I picked up 125 g of each of Jamaican Blue Mountain and Puerto Rico Alto Grande. I'm really looking forward to trying each of these and discovering if they're as good as they're cracked up to be. Production of these coffees is limited, so they're only available a few times per year by advance order. Sounds snobby, doesn't it? I wonder if I'll even be able to tell them apart from all of the other varieties I've recently drunk. We'll soon see.
