If you like a coffee that is never bitter, very smooth, and even tastes good cold, this is the one for you!
Enjoy it! You will come back and thank me!
I could not believe what I was drinking when I first experienced the first sip of this excellent brew. I don’t roast my own coffee beans but I do grind them and then make them on one of the best coffee makers on the open market—a Moccamaster Cup One. If Manna from Heaven was a black liquid then I have found it and loved every drop of the many cups I have since brewed.
I know that I have waxed on and on about a coffee being so unbelievably delicious but I could not do anything else but state the truth. This coffee is has a nice body but is famous for its clarity and it’s this unbounded clarity that makes it so unique. In fact, in my opinion this coffee has the highest clarity of all the 80+ coffees I have purchased over the past 15+ years. I can or I think I can taste every individual undertone fruits it exhibits. I can distinguish passion fruit, mango, maybe some guava, and possibly apricot when dried. It also has a taste of tobacco, dark chocolate, as well as having some earthiness about it. It’s very low in acidity which will please many coffee drinkers like myself. There are Sumatran coffees such as another favorite of mine—Sumatra Mandheling. However, for me the Gayo is more complex and definitely smoother than the Mandheling. Don’t get me wrong as the Mandheling is a great coffee but not as distinctive as the Gayo.
If you love a great cup of coffee in the morning or at lunchtime or in the evening or just anytime during the day, you won’t go wrong with the coffee. While Volcanica Coffee sells this coffee for ~$25.00/lb. other vendors sell this same coffee for as much as nearly $55.00/lb. I can’t explain the difference in price from one vendor to another but I can only hope that Volcanica retains their price at what it is today.
Try it for I am sure you will really love it and might make it your day-to-day coffee. I have at three cups per day—minimum!
The coffee is good, but it is worth the extra money compared to similar products by other coffee houses? Eh, not really... I mean it is good do not get me wrong. It has a great rich flavor in all the right spots. Yet it has a hint of "burnt popcorn" as an aftertaste. I brewed it completely by the book too. I tried several different grinds etc. Then just over halfway through the 1-pound bag, it lost its rich flavor. I started drinking it almost black and it is like drinking water now. Kind of disappointed. I even kept it in an air tight steel container made for storing coffee.
I am glad the company is based in Georgia, they have a great range of roasts to choose from. Alas, I must leave the Volcanica land of coffee and continue my quest for that perfect medium roast.
