Autumn :(

Hello there,

The weather isn't inviting to go for a walk o something like that, so we've to stay at home... But it's time of experiments :). Coffee is not all the world, we can start to find new tastes, for example in tea. Well, sincerely, I am not a fan of tea, but when is so cold, this idea of dried fruits in hot water in my mind is warming up all my body. I don't want to review a tea, because I don't drink it so much, but I want to encourage you to search the new ways of drinking, not only methods, but all kind of propositions. I mean, for example, now is pumpkin's season, so I've decided to bake a pumpkin cake. Well, it wasn't so delicious, but hey it was only an experiment, it good to say that as addition to coffee it was quite eatable. Another thing is butter beer or hot chocolate with whipped cream and cherry in the top. Why not? This year is passing slowly, so we have to do something new to accomplish it good. I'm not saying about something huge like lose 20 kg, or to win world championship, I think that this small thing like new way of shaving, or change hairs color, or start to write a diary. These small things can relive us and currently in this unfavorable time can overcome our autumn depression. But isn't it a coffee blog? Yeah it still is, so here I'm adding my recipe how to overcome cold evenings. What we need: one blanket, a partner (if it's possible), cocoa, milk, espresso dopio de quite good coffee, whipped cream, vanilla syrup, crushed nuts (it can be a mix) and spicy biscuits. So, at first we have to froth a warm milk (advise: if you've not any express machine or frother you can do it in french press). At the bottom of high glass, or very big mug, pour cocoa and a syroup  (by the rules of cocoa and syrup producer in accordance with amount of milk), pour frothed milk and next espresso. Now a whipped cream and sprinkle it with nuts and crushed biscuits. If you like marshmallows you can change the nuts or something, just try it.


That's all :) feel free to comment it.

El Salvador and Brazil

Image
Hello there This post will be the same as last one, because it's continuation of taste series. Today, I'll present coffee of Brazil and El Salvador. With every brew, unfortunately, I've been realizing that the roast grade is accidental... But anyway I prepare the same brewings, i.e., Espresso, Latte, Alternative one (usually in Chemex). So this two were quite good. It is my subjective note. For more information about how I'm brewing and appraising it please read the last update. Salwador SHG: Taste profile (of manufacturer): cinnamon and spicy with berries aftertaste. Opinion: Alternative=3/5, Latte=4/5, Espresso=3,5/5. Why: Roasted to dark to conserve the taste as an alternative, in espresso was like others, I mean, nothing original. Brazylia Santos: Taste profile (of manufacturer): mango, melon, orange and black tea.  Opinion: Alternative: 3,25/5, Latte=4/5, Espresso=4/5. Why: Like Salwador roasted to dark and it's impossible to extract tha...

Strong enough

Hello there, Do you remember the coffee that I mentioned in the last post entry? That one which time of freshness keeps for 3 months. So today I want to give you some information about it. Well, it's darkly roasted coffee with a mysterious sticker on package... I think that's a strong woman, but maybe it's a picture that shows how somebody could feel after drinking it, I don't know, but it's kind of funny picture, look at it!   So, the aesthetic part we have done, it's good to get down to the taste. Its destination is rather to express machine or French pot than to Chemex or Dripper, because of dark roasted level. It contains 100 % of arabica coffee beans, but it's not a single origin, well it comes from Brazil, Guatemala, Salvador, Costa Rica and India. The taste is quite good, I mean, not surprising, but also not disappointing. It's a good gift for someone who we don't know so much. I'm talking (writing) about espresso, in the cause of...

How to start...

Hello there, Maybe it's too late to resolve the title problem. I refer to how to start drinking coffee in another (at least no typical way, only grounded coffee with boiled water or instant). At first, it's good to ask yourself what amount of money you can spend on it. I'll demonstrate few basic options to start it well. The first one can be hario v60 dripper the basic set with dripper, serving pot, 50 paperfilters and plastic spoon which can be used to measure costs approx. £15. Basic Rhinowaveres hand grinder costs approx. £28 and basic gooseneck kettle (you can bought it even for £1, but for check the real cost I will calculate it with £10 price. I assume that everyone has timer and kitchen thermometer. Equals £53. Second one can be Chemex which costs approx. £30 with £10 filters and £28 grinder equals £68 (for 4 cups set). The same price if you want to buy aeropress. Third one can be French press which costs approx. £8 (at Ikea store) with grinder equals £36. And ...
