Me and the wife were wanting to get 190 proof bottle for 25, but we might kill our selfs on it? Like you can't just take shots of that stuff can you?

We would need to dilute it first? Idk
I'll fuck around and find out though, I ain't "no bitch"" lol?.


This is coming from a guy that does shrooms and acid for breakfast/lunch & DMT for Dinner. Lol.

i'll taste it off my finger at it's hottest but i don't drink it.. well once.. it burns the whole way down!!! once distillation starts you get all the compounds at the lower temps building up to ethanol. they call these "heads" and contain acetone and other great window cleaners.. to know 100% sure that i've collected enough of the heads i taste it.. smell it first but then taste it and it's fuckin hot!! always gives me the whooooo face!!! haha

don't do it man... don't be one of these..

The Geisha Caturra is fantastic

I was more than happy to share the link because they have some amazing coffees and I was sure there was some folks here who would enjoy them! If you get a chance you might like their Monobamba, that's one of my favorites ☕️🐸

Grizzly is good too but prices jumped back up to $20/$25 a bag again.

We still have 1.5 bags of Kick Ass.IMG_8731.jpeg

454 & Grizzly are more of a slap you awake kind of coffee. 🤣

Still haven’t found the three sisters on sale…
 
Our one store lowered prices back to $15 a bag while the rest are still at $25 each. Only two options and Three Sisters wasn’t one of them. So two bags of Grizzly will do.IMG_8804.jpeg

I’ve been voted the best coffee maker and asked to do morning presses. I know it’s BS but wifey doesn’t have time in the mornings to make a good cup of Joe so I’ll pretend to fall for the compliments. 🤣☕️
 
I thought Saturday was going to be a good day. Both stores had the coffee back to $15 but it took both about a month before we could get all the flavours.

We have no desire to try the decaf, it’s like non alcoholic beer, what’s the point. 🤷‍♂️

After banging the groceries we had to limp the car home. The power steering idiot light came on. Going to be a few days before I can even look at why. Hope it’s the fuse or something simple as this could be a nightmare to fix in winter.

I’m not drinking coffee from the butt of a monkey or cat, let alone that guy! Toothpaste taste was funny though. 🤣

True story:
I tried coffee once and once only.
I was 5 and thought I’d be all grown up, my mom smiled and gave me a cup.

One sip, hated it, never been back.

I wasn’t a fan either. Only got into it working downtown. Buddy talked me into getting a Starbucks Americano. That was around the year 2000. Now I like good coffee but still drink tea 75% of the time.
 
One of the few new packages we hav tried yet. With the name Smart Ass I had to try it.
IMG_9137.jpeg

It’s a medium roast and it has a flavour or tang to it. Not bad but different. We’ll need to try it a few more times to see if it makes the cut. So far the dark roasts are the best for us with one medium roast we like.

It’s not as fancy as the dab rigs some of you have but our kettle does have a light show. 🤣

i'll try that one too one day purely based on the name as well.. i've liked the others i tried. right now i have been rotating the custom ladera mix, the beans my neighbors brought me back from peurto rico, and the 454 horsepower. i bought that one because i was intrigued by the licorice taste, only i get none of that at all!! haha but i really enjoy it nonetheless.. i like to add a little bit of chocolate with it, not like a moca or anything near that much but just a little dribble of hersheys dark in the mug goes great with it!!!!! honestly if i was stuck with any one of these three coffees for the rest of my life i might be good with it.
 
So far the best sale price was $14.99 for one pound of beans. Highest price is $25 for the same.

We tried the Espresso Cliff Hanger but aren’t really enjoying it. Then again we aren’t really doing it right either.IMG_9185.jpeg

It seems we really like the dark roast beans the best. The medium roast are okay but not as strong.

We did notice three or four new flavours the last trip to one of our grocery stores. We picked up one that was a dark roast. So we are using these for the weekend.

Dark roast is usually the morning coffee for me with the medium roast being an after dinner coffee.

They also have a decaf I will not be buying. To me it’s like buying nonalcoholic beer. 🤷‍♂️

We finished the Smart Ass and Half Ass.

This week it’s back to the Grizzly Claw. This one had a nice deep rich earth smell but has a smooth taste. I like it best first thing in the morning.

how did you like the smart ass? i got a bag coming tomorrow...

I’d like to hear your opinion first if that’s all right. That way it won’t influence your experience.

I will say I grind our coffee finer than you’re supposed too with a French press. It does change the taste as does the amount of beans to a degree. Our 12 cup press fills 3 mugs when filled.

i'm drinking three sisters right now. it's just a little lighter than i prefer but i ain't kicking it out bed!!

i liked the 454 stuff. had a hard time telling the difference between that and the ladera and the puerto rican beans my neighbors brought home. i would switch back and forth between the three and i honestly couldn't tell the difference. all great coffee!!
but i really enjoyed the 454!!

i grind mine on the finest setting my grinder has... i don't really fancy all the subtle notes and shit, i just want a good high quality cup of joe!!!

i normally drink mine right when i get home from work, then i sip while catching up on threads.. today was a little later than normal..

i always put a lttle of each of these in a 20 oz cup and pour the coffee overtop and stir with a fork! haha

i should have the smart ass here tomorrow.. i'll let ya know what i think.

well i kinda wish somebody zen like would have influenced my pre experience.. haha

i might have to take this post to their website reviews... so if you're gonna sell a higher priced coffee (over a USD per ounce) then don't be so greedy and put a seal zipper on your freakin bags!! not just a piece tape!!! and also... if you're gonna print "cut here" lines on the bag then how about making them accurate? hmmm?!?! too much to ask i guess..

so yeah i went into drinking it in a really great mood!!! hahaha

seriously though it's good, a little too light n bright for me personally. i think if i add a little darkness in there it will taste a lot better to me. i have some french roast from lardera i'll probably add to it.

as far as KHC goes though it's probably my least favorite so far.
 
just placed an order with lardera.. got something i never tried before..

Bourbon washed is a washed Peruvian coffee crafted with care by farmer Miguel Sánchez Roncal from the Andino region. This is a rich, heavy body and a beautifully balanced cup. Rich notes of chocolate and sweet graham cracker lead the way, complemented by soft hints of ripe fruit that add depth and complexity. The result is a smooth, satisfying brew with a pleasant, lingering finish.

Agreed. It’s off our list but we finished the bag.

We like the 454, opened another on the weekend actually. It’s my third choice so far. Having some with the wife this morning.IMG_9638.jpeg

Same. No settings on my grinder but I have a rhythm I shake it too powering off/on. Like a martini shaker. It’s pretty fine when I’m done. If it’s a new coffee I might adjust the next time.

Wife will drink coffee while making more coffee. I’m once in the morning and/or once at night unless I’m in the mood for tea. We don’t do decaf.

You already bought it so it was only fair to let you draw your own conclusions.

We found it light on taste and had a bitter tang to it. I started adding the expresso beans to the grind to give it a nicer finish.

We won’t be getting Smart Ass again.

Not a fan of the tape but I take it off and move it to where we need it as we go. The cut here marks are okay for me so far? I cut both sides and the finish the middle front last, leaving the back connected. The older style bags with twist ties on the sides like cookie bags was better.

Yep, it needs something. Expresso beans was what I happened to have open as my wife likes getting expresso shots in her coffee.

Agreed.

So far Grizzly Claw and Kick Ass are still the favourites. Additionally 454 and another are runners up.
