Comment on What is Decimating Kona Coffee Crops? by Marc Wortman

Hi Matt, I’m confident that it will pull through. The farming there dates back to the mid 19th century. It will simply take some time to “sanitize” the fields. In the meantime, I agree with you that weak “Kona blends” are about to get even weaker.

I’m worried that with the new inspection laws being passed that anything that faintly resembles coffee will be able to be called “Kona”. this really is an incredibly challenging time for the Kona Coffee industry. I hope it’s able to pull through…I love their coffee!

I can’t wait to see it for myself one day. I understand it’s only a three-hour flight from Portland!

Comment on Guatemala San Sebastian from Peets by Marc Wortman

It’s a great coffee, Geoff, and I’ve had it on a couple occasions, both from the Peets store online, and most recently it was the coffee they were brewing on-site at one of their outlets I stopped at. A great medium roast that I certainly recommend.

I know this post is a rather old one, but what did you think of Peet’s Guatemala San Sebastian?

We LOVED Baja Beans! This was our “trip of a lifetime” and we were so happy to have found Baja Beans. Everything about the place was perfect- coffee, pastries, location, ambiance, staff- all just great! A wonderful place to spend a warm Baja morning!

Comment on Try Drinking Your Coffee Black by Marc Wortman

Thanks for the comment, Kristin. Perhaps some of the mellower, less complex coffees would help you get back to enjoying good black coffee, while a complex coffee like a Guatemalan is very rich in flavor. Best of luck! To your comment, I lost a few pounds when I stopped putting two creams and two sugars in each cup of coffee I made.

I drank black coffee for 20 years and would have it no other way. After traveling to Paris and other places a number of times and following their ways, I found myself putting half and half in coffee and cannot seem to return. I know I have put on a few pounds in a few years of doing this. I originally would only think of black coffee as the way to go. I definitely want to go back. And that is why I am researching making the best cup of joe.

Shakkira, great comment and great job experimenting with the different variables until you found what was causing the change in taste. I’m glad you’re back to enjoying wonderful coffee!
