Cheap ass Hawaiian hazelnut can with the old school coffee maker/pot mid-work night. Sometimes I’ll splurge on an extra large hazelnut coffee with 3 sugars from Dunkin’ Donuts
:noah:


You'll love this one; Kona 10% white macadamia blend.

Delicious, decadent, sweet, and very savory. Its almost like drinking a cinnamon bun.

Normally I’ll just drink some 8 o’clock or Bustelo at home before I head out to work…if I’m running late I’ll stop at Dunkin

I thought about buying a Nespresso machine…my cousin always talking good about it
The right brewer makes all the difference. Even a cheap but good one makes sense.

In fact don't buy a 1000 buck machine until you know how to use it. I fukked up my expresso machine and could've gotten it fixed with one part but I was in Kenya, Expensive mistake.


Try a fly blend though you'll taste the difference.

This. Buy a french press or chemix and or a Hamilton Beach coffee maker. Too many people waste money and they don't even grind their own beans. Low maintenance, great flavor = French Press.

In general, you want to start with a medium roast, preferably whole bean. Grind it course and use a French press. Because Rwandan coffee is grown near lakes, its very acidic, mixed with citrus flavors. So you want a base of a milk (just a bit) to tone it all down. I'd even put a tea spoon of cocoa powder if possible. You'll get a nice buttery/chocolate flavor, the tang of the citrus will be a quick after taste.

This breh knows his coffee :obama:

I agree, just a bit of milk/cream transforms it. The cold brew is great even without milk though.

A few of my favorite roasters:

Black & White (Fredy Sabillon is excellent, cop it if they stock it again)
B&W Coffee Offerings | Black & White Coffee

Sweet Bloom (Yanacocha and Efrain Carhallocollo are really nice everyday sippers; classic chocolate-forward coffee)
Coffee

Subterra (Their Ethiopia is my go-to - bright, citrusy and sometimes some vegetal funk depending on the variety)
Coffee

Pilcrow (I know the lead roaster and he knows his shyt. The Costa Rica is piff if you're into bright/fruit notes - almost like Fruity Pebbles at times.)
