I admit it….I have a coffee problem. I suspect that many of you do as well. Whether it’s my day job, or my other life that takes place largely in a boat, there’s usually coffee in my hand or at least nearby. I even make sure to spill some in most of the boats I fish in….right Dean??
Most of my current and former students know about this problem, and as they travel the globe, they often send me back a few tastes of the coffee planet. I have a student who just spent some time in Brazil, and she sent me back a couple packs of this stuff: Cafe do Ponto. Let me tell you, from one coffee specialist to another, this is some pretty special coffee.
Fine ground so the yield is very good. A solid dose of caffeine accompanied by outstanding flavor. Not the least bit bitter, perhaps a hint of nutty flavor. Excellent with a splash of milk.
If you’re on the lookout for some new coffee to try, look this stuff up. It is actually available direct from a coffee imported in Boston. The price is incredible! In Brazil, the price is ~ $2 US per pound….less than $7 from the importer, making it comparable to (or less than!) many brands you’re likely to encounter on the store shelves.
Happy sipping!
