Java Delight Costa Rican Whole Bean Coffee

Java Delight Coffee
Costa Rican
Origin: Costa Rica 
Roast: Medium
Brewing method: Pour-over & Auto-drip
Price: $8 - 16 oz. 

Here's another supermarket over-the-counter coffee review, the Java Delight Costa Rican Whole Bean Coffee sold by SuperValu

Once this whole bean Costa Rican coffee is ground there's a pleasant aroma of nuts, sweet stone fruit, perhaps plum, and a hint of cocoa. 

Wet from the pour-over the aroma transforms and there are hints of warm bream and toasted almonds that radiate several feet. 

From the cup there's a warm buttery aroma of snow peas. The first sips are smooth, sweet and on the brisk side, plus there's a mouthwatering palate wash that leaves your mouth feeling clean. The coffee is slightly sweet with flavors of toasted almonds and a hint of snow peas. 

I also brewed this coffee using the auto-drip method. The flavors were a bit flatter and more on the mild side with a heavier, smoother mouthfeel, leaving a pleasant nutty aftertaste.

Overall both brewing methods produced an enjoyable cup of coffee free from defect leaving clean cup. For a store-run-off-the-shelf coffee, this Java Delight Costa Rican is pretty nice.

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these  Tryst  e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic.  You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
