  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I'm pretty new to coffee, I've always been a tea drinker. Someone gave me this bag of coffee and I've really enjoyed it. Unfortunetly, the type wasnt written on the bag so I have no idea what blend/origin it is. Notes of wood and chocolate.

Those sound like dark roasted coffees?
Yes they are. Their claim is the most caffeinated coffee in the world. They have beans, ground and k cups. It's great for when I'm working overnight.
Usually the lighter roasts have the most caffeine. Roasting removes caffeine from the beans. Typically higher caffeine contents are found in lower quality beans as well but I have had their coffee and it is pretty good. I wonder if they have some sort of special processing where they are adding extra caffeine.

Not sure, but I know this coffee kicks but. I've found that DW and Odinforce are super dark once made, but I'm have no expertise in roasting or coffee itself. I just drink what I like. Lol. And I drink it straight up. No cream or additives. Lol.

I knew I liked you . If the coffee is good you don't need that crap
I read once that somehow someone had scientifically proven that cream and sugar makes bad coffee better, but good coffee worse. I don't know how they can scientifically quantify this, but I believe it so I'll take it as fact.
