Columbia Spremo

Name: Columbia Spremo
Roaster: Coffee Roaster Grancino
Roast degree: Medium

【Impression】
Little bitter, charcoal bitterness wins over beans sweetness and bitterness, but clear after taste.
Columbia Spremo is basic or standard selection for coffee shops or roasters, which is often used as a core for house blend.  This beans is unique for mild, moderate, and well harmonized flavor.
Grancino's Columbia stays mild and full flavored as it said on their web, but is not well matured and developped fully enough to satisfy the image of "Columbia" taste.

However, their roasting method is very much experimentally and theoretically analyzed, it might be worth trying again someday.
 




 

Blue Bottle Coffee

Blue Bottle Coffee Co., it may be too famous to introduce.
Until I have a sip of latte at Blue Bottle, I do not feel at home...

Blue Bottle is Coffee Roaster which manages cafe.

This does not guarantee their taste, but their 48hrs rule guarantee their quality:

Blue Bottle roasts beans everyday and sells beans only within 48hrs after roasted.  

Now they have store opened in NY and Tokyo, so it would not be too much to say that this coffee company is glowing Nation wide, Global maybe, chasing after STARBUCKS with beyond higher quality.

Although they offer wonderful cups, both Espresso base and fresh blewed, the best cup they have is at Mint Plaza, blewed with 5 siphons.

Thank for James, owner of Blue Bottle, we are horner to enjoy wonderful coffees in SF.  

Enjoy ART of coffee world.
