Coffee

Grumpy Mule coffee company.

Not heard of that! but like the sound of that! so just ordered some "Roast to order, Ethiopia Nefas Farm epic seasonal crafted coffee Beans"
With tastes of winey, stone fruits with low acidity & dark chocolate (that sounds like my cup of coffee)
I will give it a go. Have to say though It's not cheap @ £6.50 & £3.00 for postage
and I have no idea how much I have just bought.
what's your preferred grumpy mule coffee then john?

Kenyan AA peaberry for me (mild roast)!

That is a lovely set! 👍
Really like the tiny jerry can too

My everyday brew is Ethiopian and filtered - and I make it strong
Quite affordable as the stuff I use is from Aldi....

I go for either Lavazza, or Java-Sumatra from Lidl. For the price they can't be beat!

Cook it in a Bialetti Moka over a trangia, primus or campfire.

Recently got an old enamel Finel percolator from a charity shop, not the strongest tasting coffee comes out of it but fun to watch it bubbling away.

How do I like my coffee?
Black as my soul.
Hotter than the hinges of Hades.
And served in ihe skulls of my enemies.
I prefer a dark Columbian roast when I can find it.

The rise in popularity of the coffee houses such as Starbucks prompted a few researchers to do blind taste tests of coffee sold by the cup a couple of years ago. The results were interesting. I don't remember the exact numbers but it seems that the number 1 choice was McDonald's while Starbucks placed much lower down the list.

Hahaha!
My mum used to say translated: 'Coffee should be like a man, black and strong'

Was she a Film star in her younger days?

-Strong enough to kill a horse
-Black enough to hide the body
-Hot enough to sterilize the cup

Consistent, yes. Quality? I don't think it's there for the most part. I avoid them if at all possible.

Tim Horton's coffee is good. Easy to buy and brew at home too. Even beer tastes better than Starbuck's coffee.
The local McBride roasted coffee is good. Nice gift for my travelling visitors, too.
Two large cups in the morning gets me lit for the day.

You lost me at "even beer".... We obviously differ on what tastes good. More for me I guess. Lol

 

[Robson Valley]

I'm sure we do differ on what tastes good. I wonder how that works at the biological level.
The Starbuck's chain of coffee shops is wildly popular. To me, the most disappointing coffee on the entire planet.
Most run-of-the-mill Canadian beers are no better, at all. Fizzy barley pop. Molson Canadian, Labatt's Blue and others.

Fortunatley, my British SIL has done a fine job of educating the old man regarding craft beers. Turns out that it's dark ale that I really like.
Better yet, I can remember that it's dark ale that I like.
90 minutes down the road in Valemount is the Three Ranges Brewery. They make "Swamp Donkey Ale." That, I like. Swamp donkeys are good to eat.
