I will honestly admit that I can be a bit of an extreme enthusiast about a great many things in life. Often to the point that my wife (who is remarkably even keel) will ask me while laughing, “How can you seriously get that excited about ______?” I really never know how to answer her other than just to double down on my giddiness and obsess about said hobby/item to the point of ridiculousness.
Now, more specifically, what would be a good example of the above "blank”? My friend, look no further than COFFEE.
Thus, given my passion for the delicious coffee bean, I will be spotlighting some of my favorite brews I have encountered. Today’s post category is:
Best Coffee for Home Brewing!
Ladies and gentelmen, I give you... Mayorga Coffee!
I cannot speak more highly about this delicious brew. Founded on a pay-it-back idea to the people of Latin America, the coffee company was created by Kerry and Martin Mayorga. 100% Organic, Farmer Friendly and Non-GMO, it has all the buzzwords to make you feel like you’re saving the world as you sip your cup and read Angelmaker.
As the coffee does come in 23 different blends (and 2 more heathen decaf versions - but who’s counting such travesties?), you have plenty of options to pick from that are all truly delicious. That being said, I personally recommend the Cafe Cubano Dark Roast blend. I am a dark roast lover, and this blend in particular is so wonderfully strong without being bitter in the least. The bag defines it as “bold, smooth and sweet”. Spot on.
Bonus Tip: If you happen to be one of those damn giant-shopping-cart-pushing Costco members like myself, you can get a giant bag of fresh ground or whole beans right inside. In fact, if you go on certain Saturdays, they’ll have a stand set up where they bag the heavenly-smelling beans right in front of you.
So while I support you keeping it simple with Folgers, you may want to give the delicious Mayorga a try the next time you see it on the shelves. Or feel free to order directly from their website here: https://mayorgaorganics.com/collections/coffee
I promise both your taste buds and those Latin American farmers will thank you!
Keep on Steem’n!
