Columbian Coffee

Toast or an English muffin and a steaming cup of java comprise the ultimate breakfast. A medium roast in the afternoon with fresh biscotti is heaven. A demi-tasse of dark espresso with the tiniest slice of lemon rubbed around the edge of the cup allows me to linger and enjoy the afterglow of a perfect meal.

 

Flavored Coffee

Back in my coffee house days, we did not serve flavored coffees. We offered a dark roast, a medium roast, and a water-processed decaf to our customers along with an assortment of fresh baked goods, made from scratch by local bakers.

 

Decaf French Roast Coffee

Now about those flavored coffees...I often take flack for this, but let me say I am vehemently opposed to flavored coffee. Coffee IS a flavor, so adding additional flavor to it is like adding ice cubes and club soda to a pricey bottle of merlot. How would you possibly appreciate the personality of a bottle of wine if you added extra stuff to it?

Classic Roast Coffee

Don't get me wrong. I'm not anti-drip or anti-percolator. Heavens, no! For large scale convenience, there's nothing like machinery. I own a drip coffee maker and a Krups cappucino/espresso maker and use them frequently.thank you. My husband uses skim milk which upsets me to no end because it produces a grayish colored murky coffee I find unappealling.

 

Premium Roast Coffee

There's nothing quite like rolling out of your tent in the woods at dawn, wrapping your cold hands around a warm cup not a paper cup, perish the thought! and sipping slowly as you tend the fire for your morning breakfast.This method produces a coffee concentrate that you can keep in your fridge, but it's slow and I believe best suited for iced coffee.

 

Gold Roast Coffee

This is the best way to make coffee because you don't "cook" the coffee as you would in a drip machine. Cooking coffee releases its acidity and makes it bitter. I was so in love with my French press, I used to bring it on camping trips.

 

Coffee French Roast

In the days before Starbucks, before coffee houses became trendy and common, I learned the basics about roasting coffee beans and serving coffee from experts. I learned about coffee's origins, roasting methods, and how to prepare the ultimate cup.
