Azotea Coffee Estate, Calle del Cementerio Final Jocotenango, Sacatepequez, Guatemala

By Anonymous

Ricardo Pokorny, the owner of the finca and 4th generation of coffee growers and roasters, gave us an in-depth tour of his estate starting with the history of coffee to viewing all the machinery and walking the deck to see the sun-drying green beans. He was very generous with his knowledge and time, unlike some of our experiences in Europe where the cafe owners don't even want to tell you which part of the world the beans they are using are from just in case you are doing some kind of espionage for a coffee house or something! In general it has been refreshing to be in Guatemala and to see and meet so many smily friendly people. If you ever have the opportunity to tour an estate, then I highly recommend going to the Azotea Coffee Estate. ...

At the Azotea cafe we were treated to an excellently prepared espresso and cortado by Miguel Angel. Miguel seems eager and well practised when it comes to making and serving coffee. He is keen to learn more and more about coffee and is also a tour guide for the estate.The coffee was chocolate-ly with a hint of grapefruit rind, cherry and tobacco ash; a very good cup!
Location: Jocotenango, Guatemala

We are in Szczecin, Poland, seated comfortably at Alterntywnie cafe, having an excellent and delightful espresso. This particular blend is a combination of 75% Brazilian and 25% Peruvian beans, pulled as a ristretto resulting in a thick sweetly acidic flavor profile. The ambiance of the cafe is incredibly pleasant, creating an inviting atmosphere for every sip. The staff at Alterntywnie cafe are friendly and attentive, ensuring that our coffee experience is nothing short of exceptional. It's wonderful to witness the burgeoning coffee culture in Poland, and this cafe in Szczecin is a true gem. #Alternatywnie al. Wojska Polskiego 35/u3, 70-473 Szczecin, Poland  https://altcoffee.pl/

Eleven Speed Coffee Roasters

Eleven Speed Coffee Roasters Victoria, BC, Canada https://www.elevenspeedcoffee.ca We bought this online and had it shipped across 5 provinces for $6. We are very happy with the quality, the fresh smell and uniqueness. As an aeropress, we ground 25 grams and poured 3 oz of 201 water to let it stand for 25 seconds, than press firmly. The aeropress coffee with milk is very sweet chocolate-ly and balanced. Even at 9 days after roasting the coffee has an unbelievable freshness to it. Soon we will try it as an espresso and let you know how it goes! update: Espresso was just as unique. I can't overstate the freshness of this coffee and how Eleven Speed shipped our coffee fresh rather then whatever was available.
