cohiba coffee anyone?

[r0lan6]

Does that include the BHKs by any chance?

To be clear this is the equivalent of Nescafe marketing Henry Wintermans and charging ?50 per stick.

Any serious coffee aficionado would never buy pre-ground beans and anything that has been roasted more that 5 days ago (indeed a lot roast themselves to have control/freshness).

In the UK we are fortunate to have some of the finest coffee beans and specialist roasters/blenders in the world! The number of world Barista and coffee tasting titles that come to the UK is testament to this (no shortage in the US either).

Interesting links . I have a nespresso so don't want to get another machine, would you get a good drink from a cafetierre (sp)

?22! I suppose Communism has to make up the shortfall somehow...

Lee I just bought a Nespresso machine for the Cigar Shack and also found you can buy these cool self fill pods from Nexpod, which means you can use whatever beans you like

You can get great coffee from a cafeteria or a pour-over filter/drip machine if you observe a few basic rules.

Cuba is not famous for coffee, this is a re brand exercise and cannot live up to expectations.

It is not worth it, don't do it but a nice stick instead and get some of the great coffee available for normal prices in the UK.

Just remember with the fresh roasted coffee to give it at least 4 days after roast before use or else it will taste bad. All the suppliers mentioned above will print the exact roast date on the bags (usually the day of order).

Trust me on this and give it the four days otherwise it'll be nasty.

Ive only ever had Cubita coffee which i won a couple of years ago on one of cgars occasional competitions they sometimes have, i didnt rate it very much and tasted more like something you get from the salvation army when your out of luck!

Thanks for that! Was about to get stuck in when I read this! Coffee was eoasted yesterday so I better wait until Friday!

Got Lintong, Monsoon and PNG. What do you reckon? I normally drink very thick Java. Will there be a big difference?
