coffee & tea

They say it's the most expensive coffee because it's prepared from the poop of a cat after it eats a berry or something. How many of you have tasted it? Is it any different

Today, my cup is full of Tazo® Joy™ Full Leaf Tea. Still trying to refine my tea palate as I am not getting the nuances everyone claims to get.

My fiance is from Eastern Europe that I am planning on building a dream marriage! it has been her dream to serve a good cup of tea when we will be serving the cake on our wedding. Any good recommendations?

Over the past thirty years I have tried a lot of exotic coffees. Kilimanjaro reserve, Java Estate, A dozen different pounds of Jamaican Blue Mountain , Some private reserve coffee given to me by an Indian colleague from his parents plantation in south central India. A month or so ago I...

Well, I had this coffee ready to drink with 3:45 left to go in the game between my Toy Cows and the Arizona Cardinals. How ridiculous, at least rename the team Coral Snakes or Gila Monsters if you move them to Arizona. Upon opening the bag, I was struck by the rustic, irregular nature and...

Maybe the best coffee I've ever had. Whether fresh ground laying in the French Press, brewing in the press, sipped slowly while hot, or even long after it's become room temperature, there is simply nothing wrong with this coffee. There are no weak points. The pungent aroma in the carafe post...

A sharp aroma after grinding, rich and very pungent, aromas which separate only in to what I can best describe as unsweetened milk chocolate, habanero salsa and a hint of steamed broccoli. It's pretty much the same drinking it, very pungent, and a flavor profile which smacks of steak with mole...

A rich, powerful aroma booms from the bottom of the French Press after grinding, mostly unsweetened dark chocolate with a hint of milk chocolate. While brewing in the French Press, it takes on the smell of sweetened dark chocolate covered nuts. On the palate, while hot, you are greeted by rich...

Anybody know if retailers sell replacement blades? I found the $3.50 part online but Don't want to pay $7.00 to ship it. Braun model 4041 KSM2 http://www.electricshaverstore.com/get_ ... 2-ksm4.htm

We grind our coffee but would like to get into roasting it and would appreciate some advice. Naturally my first question is as to what roaster we should look at. We usually make a 10 cup pot every morning so it should have at least that capacity. Any web site would be appreciated but...

After years of baloony about the harmful effects of coffee we are finally getting the truth, coffee is good for you, and the mnore the better. :thumbsup:

Hey. Looking for a hand operated burr grinder (read: does not used electricity to run) to grind beans for my french press. Anyone know of a good cheap one in the $40 to $50 range? Thanks, Jason

Does anyone else drink tea? I wanted to be a little healthier this year so I thought about switching from coffee to tea in the mornings. A few tea stores recently opened near me and I went in one to just look around and ask some questions. An older lady who was full of a wealth of knowledge...

I have been roasting some fantastic coffee's lately. Just curious who is still roasting?

I was recently in a situation where I had no choice for coffee but Starbucks. I decided to try Cafe Americano, which I've never had before. I was told that it is simply espresso with extra water added. I liked it! I even got decaf because that fits in with my current diet. Of course...

Has anyone ever tried Gurkha's coffee? Is it any good? Where do you get it? Cheers! Matt

I love the Bloof. And no, he is not Unclebeanz....LOL. I am. Here is the latest review of our Rainforest Alliance Naturally Grown low Caffeine coffee called Opus One. http://www.coffeereview.com/review.cfm?ID=1695

One of my favorite sources for great pod coffees is the Canadian company, Fratello Coffee Roasters. Right now I am enjoying a 2007 Cup of Excellence pod from the La Divina Providencia of El Salvador. It is a sweet coffee with a hint of black cherry and chocolate, very full bodied. Fratello...

I'm winding down my consumption of the five coffees I recently purchased from Uncle Beanz. That will certainly not be my last order. I'm finished plowing through my 12 oz. bag of this wonderful blend, a 50-50 blend, according to the invoice. Now, of course, I'm not about to ask or speculate as...

Another Ethiopian coffee, but quite unlike many others, dark roasted, with oil on the beans, very uniform in size and shape, what looks to be a very painstaking selection of beans. When I finally opened up the bag on this one over the weekend, prior to grinding the beans, I instantly detected a...
