We can’t talk about a great French coffee without talking a little about the Parisian coffee culture. The French enjoy coffee morning, noon and night. If you have been to a French café, then you know you must begin by saying “Bonjour” – always say hello! When you order your coffee (“Je voudrais un café, […]

As one of the earliest of commercial coffee roasters, he had already spent more than a decade honing his roasting methods with the benefit of his exceptional sense of taste. Not surprisingly, Jacobs coffee has a wonderful aroma and flavor. […]

You’re the Tops Pellini is one of the most popular coffee roasters in all of Italy. The company’s humble beginnings in Verona over 90 years ago grew into a mission to make every cup of coffee more than a habit. Instead, it should be a special ritual capable of expanding the pleasure and sense of well-being of […]

Italians Know Espresso Lavazza is Italy’s favorite espresso, with about 75% of Italian families as customers! The company started in 1895 when Luigi Lavazza purchased a small grocery store in Torino, in northern Italy. At that time, coffee was purchased raw, then roasted and blended according to customer requests. Luigi became skilled in the processing […]

Someone once said “Espresso yourself!” Once upon a time, I was afraid to espresso myself. Espresso will be too strong, I worried. It will be too bitter, I feared. I can’t have it with milk and sugar, I fretted. Of course, my concerns were far overrated – in fact, I have come to enjoy espresso, especially […]

Very Smooth with a Mild Finish! When a coffee is named Excellent Aroma, you expect it to smell great. I expect it to smell great as a whole bean, in ground form and when brewed. Well, I am happy to report that Douwe Egberts Excellent Aroma is all that its name suggests! When I first […]

Dallmayr is a German coffee producer in business for decades. The company history includes operating and showcasing an “electric coffee roaster” in its original store back in the 1930’s. One of their most popular blends, Prodomo, is a quality blend of coffee varieties. Dallmayr packages their coffees in a vacuum-packed foil package to keep the coffee […]

Carte Noire is a French-based coffee company producing several varieties of coffee blends. The company uses Arabica beans to create coffees with flavor and aroma a notch (or two) above your standard coffee. (I love their tagline: A coffee named desire.) For this review, I tried Carte Noire Ground Coffee. I love the packaging – […]

I should start this review with a disclaimer: I do not drink instant coffee. I have never found one that was even close to drinkable. So why am I reviewing Douwe Egberts Pure Gold Instant? Well, for one, I trust Douwe Egberts to make good coffee. I believe that they would not make an instant […]

Have you ever had a cup of coffee in a restaurant that just tasted so good, so flavorful, so perfect at the end of your meal? I think we all have had that experience. Sometimes, I thought it was more about having just had a great meal, good company and a tasty dessert that made the […]

I have always loved the smell of coffee. I remember my mother boiling the grounds in a pan on the stove with an egg shell (anyone remember that method?), and I loved how the aroma permeated the kitchen, then the house, and reminded me that everyone would be in the kitchen soon. The aroma of […]

Jacobs Kronung is the best of the Jacobs’ coffees. In fact, “Kronung” mean “coronation” or “crowning”. The blend of beans, roasted the Jacobs’ way, gives it a smooth texture and a rich aroma. Jacobs believes in roasting coffee to extract the character and structure of the beans, which gives its own special taste. Jacobs began […]

One of Douwe Egberts’ most popular coffees is Aroma Rood (pronounced “rote”, Dutch for “red”, which we suspect refers to the packaging). Why is it so popular, you may ask? Well, for one, it is often served in restaurants, from casual places to fine dining establishments. As a medium roast, it is intended to appeal […]
