Do you like coffee and?

[Gerald Wilgus]

Cafe Britt is my favorite- Poas Volcano to be accurate. Black or with whole cream. I like to do mine french pressed. But I love tea, Earl Grey in particular, always with no additives.

You would like their main store on the slopes of Poas near San Jose. Their tour is interesting and informative and I enjoyed it when working there. Then there is Pollos del Monte which roasts their chickens over coffee wood. That and their patacones con guacamole is a delicious meal, washed down with horchata. Muy sabaroso, que rico!

My father has been purchasing café Britt by the case and having it shipped to the USA since my brother attended Universidad para La Paz in Costa Rica about 20 years ago.

Someone from the company once told him that the beans are grown and harvested in Costa Rica, of course, but the beans for their decaffeinated coffee get shipped to Germany for processing. The caffeine extracted and removed from the beans is actually sold off as a byproduct… apparently to large companies like soft drink and energy drink companies. The beans are then shipped back to the café Britt headquarters in Costa Rica where they are roasted and bagged with the rest. Then off to wherever they are going. Interesting to think how far the little bean travels before it actually gets to our cup.

He says the salt offsets the bitterness of coffee.

Then when you buy Costa Rican, get Terrazú. Well balanced in a medium roast. The bitter notes are more like a dark chocolate and I found it mild, but with a depth of flavors

Is caffè Britt a brand?

Thank you.


As you can imagine, we don't have so many foreign companies on the market

I went to a fancy gelato place, and the lady gave me a great Italian coffee with a scoop of coffee gelato and l fell in love. But sadly, construction nearby killed their business.

Could you replicate this at home?

 

[Aspychata]

No, this coffee was imported by the owner. I don't know what kind of coffee it was. But maybe somebody will try coffee gelato in their coffee.

I haven't tried gelato, but I sometimes like a little Kahlúa.

Being in Italia doesn't mean have a good coffee.

This morning I tried to get lucky in three different bar and I had three burnt coffee

So it's just like the old saying:

If you want something done properly you have to do it yourself.

I do! I buy the beans from The Fresh Market which sells beans from all over the world including beans from Kenya and Hawaii.

I became addicted to Seattle's Best brand.

I just did plain yogurt, strong coffee, and mocha flavoring, and stevia in blender. Grown-up shake.

Unless you are an Italiano, even if you are a child
