Thread: Shipment from The Coffee Artisan - What to try first?
Started 1 month, 1 week ago by zrrrzzt
Thanks to exceptional service from the shop, I've got a shipment from The Coffee Artisan today. Fratello Acid Jazz, Fratello Brazil Daterra Sweet Blue, Fratello Costa Rican Co-op Palmares, The Coffee Artisan Dark Side, Fratello French Saigon and Fratello Snicker Doodle.
I'm not touching the Doodle stuff, that's for my mother. But to kill some time: What would be the best order to drink ...
Hmm, assuming it's nighttime there now (or close to it), I'd start with the Brazil, Dark Side, or French Saigon Dark. Tough choice. _________________ Grindmaster OPOD

Not exactly night, 17:23 as I write, and dinner just over. I agree on the Brazil. I will probably go for Dark Side or Acid Jazz tomorrow morning. Looking forward to this _________________ Knights of Black Coffee

I started with the Fratello Brazil Sweet Blue and it was excellent. It was really sweet and I tasted chocolate, something like fruit/berries and a hint of a nutty taste. An excellent choice for dessert. Great coffee.
At the moment I'm half-way down a cup of Fratello Costa Rican Co-op Palmeras. So far that one did not live up to my expectations. Maybe a bit weak? I'll give it another go ...
Breakfast, and I picked The Coffee Artisan Dark Side. Smokey, dark and yet mild in a way are my first impressions. Nice coffee. Did it's job well together with bread and orange marmelade. _________________ Knights of Black Coffee

You're 2 for 3 so far...not bad! I think you should try the French Saigon Dark next to compare the Dark Side to. _________________ Grindmaster OPOD

I have not given up on the Costa Rican Co-op Palmeras quite yet. French Saigon Dark is next as you suggested. And that leaves Acid Jazz responsible for making tomorrows breakfast memorable. _________________ Knights of Black Coffee

I do not like Acid Jazz.................much You will love it. I agree on the Costa Rican, not one of my higher graded Fratello's _________________ Matt's Pod Reviews!

A++ and A+, well I'm looking forward to breakfast. Read your reviews again. When I've tasted all the Wows and Solids on Josh's list I'll check your A-list.
Catching a bit of a cold so my taste-buds are slightly off, but the Fratello French Saigon Dark was okay. A dark roast without the "scary" parts. A wage smoky taste, but smooth and gentle. In a back to back battle against The Coffee ...
It's funny that you say this about the French Saigon Dark. Every time I try it I think I should bump it up to a "Wow" at first because the aroma and flavor are something special piping hot, but then the magic fades somewhat as the coffee cools and becomes more gentle like you said. Overall I prefer the Dark Side too. _________________ Grindmaster OPOD

After tasting all coffees at least 3 times (except from the Doodle of Horror), heres my ranking: 1. Fratello - Brazil Daterra Sweet Blue - Incredible sweet with lots of flavors. Pure joy to drink. 2. Fratello - Acid Jazz - A bit weak at 8 oz, at 7 oz: success. A fantastic coffee 3. The Coffee Artisan - Dark Side - Smoky, dark, and yet mild in a way. A great morning coffee 4. Fratello - Costa Rican Co-op Palmares - Very disappointed first time....

Yeah, I agree with you about that one. Terrible coffee. I found it became quite bitter as well. On the other hand their Highlander Grogg was quite decent. You might enjoy that one better. _________________ Keurig B66 Cafe Invento Nespresso Le Cube----oui, oui Bunn My Cafe (Refurb)
