Ohhhh the Coffee

Earlier this month I invited myself down to my friends house for a girls night of chatting, drinks, and watching the final episodes of Battlestar Galactica. While there she gave me some wonderful coffee. I have known for some time that she is a coffee snob but she simply lives too far away (1 hour drive) for me to participate in her coffee habit on a regular basis.

But while I was there this last trip I realized what I am missing. The coffee was from Coffee Emergency and it was the Guatemalan Palo Alto Azul. It was great!! It seems I like my coffee stronger than she does and I also like it black. I am not beyond drinking coffee with milk (I prefer soy) and other wonderful flavorings but I also like to the taste of really good coffee without all of the other stuff. 

Here is a link to her blog as it refers to coffee. I will be going over these posts to learn more about not only buying good coffee but also how best to process it.
