Reviews for Timothy's World Coffee
Deep, sweet, and pungent with the dry fruit notes: black currant and cherry complicated by suggestions of fresh-tanned leather and fresh-cut fir. The acidity is rich and assertive, the mouthfeel heavy but slightly lean. The dry berry notes carry deep into an intense, resonant finish.
(As brewed in a Keurig Platinum single-serve home brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce a 6-ounce serving size): Sweet-toned, roundly floral aroma. In the cup lively, floral-toned acidity; medium-bodied but silky mouthfeel, and continued floral character complemented by orangy citrus. Sweet though rather short finish.
(As brewed in a Keurig Platinum single-serve home brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce a 6-ounce serving size): Softly sweet and toasty aroma. In the cup, silky mouthfeel and simple flavor that hints at fruit, toast, and sweet chocolate. In the finish the chocolate suggestion further sweetens and lingers agreeably.
(As brewed in a Keurig Platinum single-serve home brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce a 6-ounce serving size): Soft, smoothly simple roasty tones dominate aroma and flavor. Medium to full in body with very little if any acidy character. Slight roughness in the finish.
(As brewed in a Keurig Platinum single-serve home brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce a 6-ounce serving size): A gentle ultra-dark-roasted cup with hints of chocolate and caramel in the aroma. In the cup mildly pungent with rougher flavor notes that lean toward aromatic and lightly charred wood. The charred wood note becomes more pronounced in the mildly astringent finish.
(As brewed in a Keurig Platinum single-serve home brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce a 6-ounce serving size): Delicately roasty aroma with distant hints of fruit and possibly a sweet winy note. Soft acidity and simple flavors that flirt with caramel and toast. The roast tone reemerges in the finish, along with intensified sweetness.
(As brewed in a Keurig B60 single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule at a cup volume of 5.25 ounces): Sweet, round aroma complicated by cherry-toned fruit notes. Rather rich in the cup, with decent body and sweet, wine-toned acidity but little else in the way of nuance. Clean, round short finish, slight bitterness in the long.
Low-key and rich. In the aroma fresh-cut cedar and caramel, with a shimmer of crisply temperate fruit, pear perhaps. In the cup the low-toned acidity is sweet, the mouthfeel round. The cup is a bit monotoned when hot, but as it cools it opens up beautifully, revealing a deep, black-cherry-toned fruit. The finish is slightly heavy.
Thin but intense aroma, with distinct papaya-toned fruit. Medium-bodied but lively in the cup, where the high-toned fruit, still reminiscent of papaya, takes on a delicate chocolate richness. Sweet, balanced acidity.
The aroma is shallow and cloyingly sweet, though complicated by pleasant Meyer lemon notes. The lemon notes carry into the otherwise undistinguished cup, which is thinly acidy and simple.
Powerfully but sweetly acidy, rich, with distinct red wine and cherry tones. Seductive but challenging.
Relatively light roasted but deep toned, with big body, rich, cabernet-like acidity, and a black-cherry fruit that saturates the profile from bottom notes to top. Timothy's Director of Coffee Bill Herne praises its "complex flavor and sweet finish."
When the cup was hot I thought I had hit the Sumatra jackpot, something close to the great Sumatras of pre-Starbucks days, when Sumatra was an exotic secret shared by a handful of professionals and enthusiasts. Rich, burgundy-like fullness, gathering under the back edges of the tongue, with just enough acidity to set off dark tickles and echoes. However, a slightly bitter and salty aftertaste gave away this coffee's weakness, which became abundantly clear as the cup cooled: just enough hardness to dampen an otherwise splendid profile.
