Cold Filter – Brazil Single Origin Infused with Apple and Cranberry – Dose Espresso (19/40)
First the positives. This was very, very fruity beverage. It looked great….but… on the first sip I could almost go no further. It tasted like someone had mixed coffee with […]

Double Espresso – Wahana Rasuna – Gone in 5 (32/40)
The coffee I had today was an example of the shaded grown coffee of Sumatra. While still on the light side of a med-light roast, the fuller body and fruity […]
