My favorite Polish coffee roastery is Heresy and my favorite cafes are probably Forum and Błysk in Warsaw.
Do you have a special morning coffee routine?
On weekends I sometimes make myself a batch brew, but during the week I tend to drink tea in the morning.
Are you looking forward to the Advent Calendar 2023? Will it be an exciting project to find 24 different coffees from 24 different manufacturers?
Absolutely. It will be great to find 24 different coffees for it!
It says 5 stars but you cannot rate this abo at all. I'm dissapointed because I get same coffee again and again and I don't like it at all. Even cheapest Spig Blume roast mix is better. Sure maybe it's not my cup of tea but could you send just different once. I ordered cofee once in two weeks so it's not even very short time. I wouldn't recommend this abonemet.
ich habe eine Box (knapp100€ mit 1,2kg Bohnen) als Geschenk bestellt
gesendet wurde eine Box für 50 € mit 250g Kaffee und 2 Tassen ...
ich warte aktuell noch auf Rückmeldung vom Kundenservice , den werde ich dann extra bewerten .
aufgrund des bestellverlaufs bisher kann ich absolut keine Empfehlung aussprechen!
So disappointing this year. We have ordered the advent calendar for years now (and paid for shipping to the US - that's how much we liked them) but this year was a complete disappointment. Many of the tins had stale beans in them - they even smelled staled right when opening them. Very few nuances and just plain boring coffees. There were a few highlights sprinkled throughout but nothing worth writing home about. Honestly, I am looking forward to returning to my regular coffee. I won't be ordering this calendar again next year sadly.
Dank anaerober Aufbereitung bietet der Kaffee ein üppiges Aromaspektrum, beginnend mit ausgeprägten Fruchtnoten und gefolgt von Schokoaromen. Für diesen Kaffee muss man sich - auch in der Zubereitung - etwas Zeit nehmen. Er ist definitiv kein Alltagskaffee. Dafür ist er auch zu hochpreisig.
Einfach WOW! Was für ein liebevoll und bis ins kleinste Detail gestalteter Adventskalender. Nicht nur der Kaffee kommt hier wie gewohnt in höchster Qualität, sondern das gesamte Design bzw. die Materialien des Adventskalenders sind sehr wertig und ein absoluter Hingucker! Besonders geschätzt habe ich bisher den Ablauf der "Kaffeereise" nach Regionen und die dazugehörigen, täglichen Infos über die Kaffees samt Regionen, Varietäten, Farmen, etc. Für mich definitiv mein Kaffee-Highlight des Jahres - und eine klare 10/10!
