Jeremiah's Pick Gourmet Coffee

Espresso

Review Date: Aug 2000

A balanced, straightforward West-Coast American espresso. In the demitasse bittersweet with a slant toward the bitter side, complicated by brisk cocoa tones. Medium-bodied but smooth. The cocoa tones turn agreeably fruity in milk, where the shot softens without losing character.

Flying Goat Coffee

Espresso Ticino

Review Date: Aug 2000

Superb aroma: rich, sweet, opulent with cocoa, flowers, and vanilla. A touch disappointing in the demitasse, however; the body is rather lean and the flavor acidy and sharp. But the sharpness rounds beautifully in milk with a lovely balance of dry cocoa tones and sweetness.

Café Society Coffee

Espresso Sessuale

Review Date: Aug 2000

The demitasse confirms the bag copy: This is an intense blend. Intensely sweet, but even more intensely bitter; a strong gesture but a simple one. Softens and rounds a bit in milk, but maintains its bitter edge.

Mr. Espresso

Organic Neapolitan Espresso

Review Date: Aug 2000

The smoky tones are sweet and floral in the nose, but rather sharply pungent in the demitasse, where the flowers transform to pruny dry fruit with a hint of burned tones. Excellent in milk, which softens and sweetens the sharpness.

Dawson Taylor Coffee Roasters

Finca La Tacita

Review Date: Jun 2000

Irrepressibly buoyant, superbly balanced. The acidity shimmers in the heart of a meadow of floral-toned sweetness. The aftertaste is clean, long, lavender. Exquisite, elegant, precious.

Thanksgiving Coffee

Boquete Region Panamanian Coffee

Review Date: Jun 2000
Price: NA

Powerful yet smooth and sweetly balanced. The acidity is round and ripe. High-toned fruit -- pears perhaps -- deepen toward roasty dry prune and bittersweet chocolate in the finish.

Sunrise Coffee

El Salvador

Review Date: Jun 2000

Classic, clean, complete, elegantly powerful. The acidity sings rather than stings: It is bright yet full-toned and winy. The aftertaste is richly dry without sharpness.

Panama La Torcaza

Review Date: Jun 2000

Medium bodied, high-toned but smooth, a quintessential American cup, from the vanilla-nut, sweetly acidy nose to the long swoon of the chocolaty finish.

The Roasterie

Panama – Baru Estate

Review Date: Jun 2000

A classic Central-America coffee dominated by a richly powerful acidity, a fat body, and a round, sweet, chocolaty finish.

Seattle's Best Coffee

Costa Rica Taparto

Review Date: Jun 2000

A big, centered, complete Central-America- style coffee. Brightly acidy in the upper ranges, richly sweet in the lower, with hints of flowers and cedar in the nose and distinct chocolate in the finish. Displayed its true character as it cooled -- rather than falling apart, it opened up, revealing still more nuance.

Dean & Deluca

House Blend

Review Date: Jun 2000

Agreeably balances roast pungency and classic high-grown acidity. The roast rounds the acidity and turns the fruit richly dry.

Thanksgiving Coffee

Nicaraguan Maragogipe Light Roast

Review Date: Jun 2000
Price: NA

A coffee that requires patience. The aroma is rather flat, the cup smoothly full but inert. A pleasant chocolate sensation surprises in the finish, however, and the aftertaste is sweet, rich and long.

Premier Roasters

Guatemalan Antigua

Review Date: Jun 2000

The essence of brisk: a light, bright, acidy cup. Dry tones dominate the sweet undercurrents. A shimmer of flowers, a wisp of smoke, a hint of tart, winey fruit. Pleasant but thinly dimensioned.

Raven's Brew Coffee

El Salvador Borbollon

Review Date: Jun 2000

The rather aggressive roast drives off nuance and sweetness, but the cup stays on the pleasantly pungent side of charred. A twist of acidity, some flowers and a hint of dry, pruny fruit survive the roast.

Yemen Coffee Processing

Yemen Mocha Mattari – Green

Review Date: May 2000

A classically sweet, chocolaty, fruity Yemen Mattari flawed by a slight touch of baggy staleness. Some on the panel were more than willing to overlook the staleness. "This [coffee] has character!" exclaimed one. "Hint of staleness, but then nice depth."

Uncommon Grounds

Organic Timor

Review Date: Apr 2000

The quintessentially smooth, deep, rich Pacific coffee. Not so much complex as dense with sensation. Refined, crisply seductive cocoa tones carry elegantly from aroma to aftertaste.

PT's Coffee Roasting Co.

Guatemalan Organic

Review Date: Apr 2000

A classic Guatemala in the lighter, softer mode: floral, gently acidy, high-toned but deeply dimensioned. Flowers permeate even the slight bitterness of the roast. A coffee as pure, sweet-toned and brightly complex as a Guatemalan weaving.

Humboldt Bay Coffee

Organic East Timor

Review Date: Apr 2000

Acidy but balanced, softly powerful, saturated by elegantly dry cocoa tones and a touch of deep-toned, winey fruit. The cocoa tones linger exquisitely in the aftertaste.

PT's Coffee Roasting Co.

Papua New Guinea Organic

Review Date: Apr 2000

A ripe, almost overripe, sweetness carries giddily from aroma to finish, anchored by a discreet touch of roast pungency. The lush fruit tones flirt with ferment but stay on the sweet side. A wonderfully juicy, deeply dimensioned coffee.

Arbuckle Coffee

Guatemala Atitlan

Review Date: Apr 2000

A hint of ferment pleasantly hovers between chocolate and cherry-toned, overripe fruit. The darkish roast turns the sweet fruit dryly rich.
