cowpuncher

Posted under news by kirk on 7 Dec 2009.

Big, bold and strong yet smooth, creamy and sweet are the vibes of our newest blend; COWPUNCHER. This camp cowboy is designed as an espresso blend to kick through your milky lattes and flat whites with a full earthy body that's got dark chocolate, peanut, and dark berry notes with a long smooth finish that will ride with you all morning. For those who like their strong lattes strong, their horse rides smooth, and their cowboys grissly.

Tasting great at the moment is the old favourite BRAZIL RODOMUNHO; nutty sweet vibes and a buttery mouth-feel through espresso.

Also the KENYA KIRIGU is doing everything a kenyan should; bright citrus and floral notes, winey and viscous. Great through the syphon.

ice coffee = blasphemy?

espresso over blood orange soda water on ice

When it's 38 degrees outside, this is the classiest way to stay cool - a ristretto poured over a soda water on ice, served in a picollo glass.

 

Being from an Italian background, I have been drinking ice coffee/espresso since I was at least 4 years old. We start early!

It wasn't until a few months ago that I started making/serving cold specialty coffee (candyman blend in particular) when I realised there is a whole new world of taste and coffee experience that hasn't yet been taken advantage.

I am so glad you have posted on this topic, especially in time for summer. I would love to see more iced coffee, be it Affogato or Ristretto on ice in all specialty coffee serving cafes. No more empty coffee shops in the summer = serve ice coffee and serve it well. There is so much taste in a cold cup, so thumbs up to it. Blasphemy I think not!
