Reflections on the Art of Coffee Blending: Daily Drinkers With Personality

by

The concept of the coffee blend is a long and winding road. Blends offer roasters a chance to produce a coffee that stimulates particular sensory homes, and blends are frequently developed to provide consumers a constant experience with time (just like a Champagne home approaches the non-vintage brut).

Kicking Horse Coffee Review

by

This is a review of Kicking Horse Coffees. We review Cliff Hanger espresso, Kick Ass Dark, and Grizzly Claw for dark roasts and Three Sisters for medium roast. I’ve been brewing their coffee beans for a while now, on and off, along with other two of my favorites. So I thought it was about time I shared my opinion about them in a review. Kicking Horse Coffee History Kicking Horse Coffee is a Canadian company, located in Invermere BC, in the Rocky Mountains. It started out as a home-based business, founded in 1996 by Leo Johnson and Elana Rosenfeld.

There is apparently a new trend in coffee, to fortify it with nootropics. Here are a few options listed by Inverse. My question is: why not nootropics in bulletproof coffee? If you detected a tiny snarky tone in there, it’s because there is one. However, mocking aside, it looks like nootropic coffee is a thing. Most people start their day with a cup or two of coffee. A good cup of coffee can make you feel awake and ready to face … Read More
