Good Coffee is Worth the Wait and Price

Asking: "Why pay for excellent, fresh, good tasting coffee when you can get burnt, weak, old coffee for a 3rd of the price?" Is like asking: "Why pay for an airline ticket to Cancun on a fully fueled plane piloted by professionals when you can fly for a 3rd of the price on a propeller driven plane piloted by a 7 year old with only enough fuel to crash-land you somewhere in Georgia?"

 

Hey, it's been awhile since I've been blogging.  I thought that I might reintroduce my blog by talking about a growing passion of mine... COFFEE!  When I worked at Starbucks, I was unable after a year to continue drinking the coffee because of GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder).  Apparently the coffee was so dark and oily that it would instantly upset my stomach and give me bad heartburn.  It wasn't only the coffee... but it was partially the coffee!  Since then, I have been trying out new ways of making coffee and new coffee.  If you live in Louisville, KY... you HAVE to go to Sunergos Coffee on Preston and try out their coffee.  The roaster is an awesome guy that just keeps getting more skilled at his art.  I usually get the beans from Sunergos and then try making some new stuff at my house.

I have recently purchased a few items from Prima Coffee like the Hario Skerton Grinder (though I'm thinking of selling it for the Hario Mini Mill, what do you think?) and the Hario V60 drip brewer which turn coffee making into a fun and artistic experience.  If you like good coffee, maybe now is the time to begin experimenting with your own beans at home?  Who knows, one of these days, I might even get a popcorn roaster and try my hand at bean roasting.





and that's the way I see it from the Captain's Chair...
