Taking the plunge

[carbolicsmoke]

Well - this board has already cost me a fortune in cigar expenditures - now I am ordering a coffe press from black dog. Since I'm in need of yet another continuing habit - what coffee would those of you who drink black dog recommend starting out with - I generally drink a fairly strong coffee in the morning.

horse hair is one of my favs!

I've never been disappointed with any of Brian's coffee. I just got 4 lbs. in yesterday. I was planning on gifting some, but now I'm not sure.

I marked a Bodum press for Christmas, crosses fingers!!!

[Black Dog]

The Ethiopian is definitely one of the most popular but most don't consider it a "strong" coffee. It's a lighter roast but has a very complex, layered flavor profile.
The Sumatra is the darkest roast of the current offerings and has a bold, earthy flavor. This one is popular with people who are used to the coffees from the big chain shops. It's not roasted as dark as those though, since I feel they burn the best stuff out of the coffee.
If you're new to single origin coffees, I'd recommend that you start with the Guatemala Huehuetenango. It's a medium roasted coffee with a flavor profile that is more recognizable to many folks who have grown up on Central/South American coffees but I think you'll find it to be richer and much more flavorful.

Yea the huehue is indeed a good coffee.

[AZsteelman]

Damn I love this coffee!

[CWS]

Every morning. Black Dog in the cup. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So who's drinking good coffee now??

[tobby4]

I am waiting on my good coffee to land in my mailbox

[cvm4]

I'm trying to get rid of some other coffee before I order more Blackdog.

[carbolicsmoke]

My black dog order arrived today -yum - will be submersing it in my French press tonight - I'll update y'all.

[caudio51]

How did you make out?

[carbolicsmoke]

Fabulous coffee - really enjoyed it - will be ordering more- thanks Black Dog!

Eric:
On your next order, try some of the 2oz sampler, my last order, I got one of each, great way to try all the coffee he has......yummie

[cvm4]

Nice idea Brad :thumbsup: I might do that

[carbolicsmoke]

Sounds good- I'll try that

[caudio51]

Yea, that is great, you get a bunch of different cups and find out what you really like in coffee

[Boppa-Wasch]

Isn't plunging great! Aren't you glad you did?

[carbolicsmoke]

Yes it is sweet. From a standard drip and generic store coffee to french pressed burr ground black dog wow - like gowing from white owl to vintage cubans- I'm almost out and awaiting my next order the thought of running out before the next shipment evokes thoughts of crisis.

[cvm4]

Had my first french pressed coffee today. Was De-Lish!

[caudio51]

Sweet! What kind of press did you get?

[carbolicsmoke]

12 cup bonjour ar Williams -Sonoma - very pleased with it.

[cvm4]

Sweet! What kind of press did you get?

I believe it was the Bodum - Kenya style.
