Here’s another lighter roast coffee from Trader Joe’s. A nice aroma permeates the air when the bag is first opened. The beans have a medium brown color indicative of a medium roast. While brewing in the coffee press, the coffee looks flat. There are few oils and carbon dioxide bubbles on top of the brew.
This is a smoother cup of coffee than the other TJ lighter roasts reviewed here. However there’s still some roughness around the finish. This is a fairly good tasting coffee and drinkable black. Although, considering this is the holidays, I’ve been adding a little Irish cream lately, which as always makes coffee better. While a better and less bitter lighter roast from Trader Joe’s, this wouldn’t be my choice as an everyday drinker. If you’re a Starbucks drinker, a couple of weeks with this would be a good pallet cleanse.

Funny reading this one. I am here in Africa and just did a cruise down the Zambia River. Haven’t seen any coffee though but did see hippos and crocodiles.

Stay safe. I heard that as long as they have enough coffee to eat, they won’t eat people.

Another reason not to buy this coffee is … well it’s coffee. 🙂 Not a coffee drinker but I do enjoy your reviews.

Thanks David. How about a tea review? Tea goes good with Irish whiskey. And a little honey. Hmm, where are those tea bags . . .
