My name is Esteban Humberto Nevarez. I will be posting about coffee. Just wanna share my thoughts about it and show you don't have to have the highest end equipment to make a good cup. Mostly I make cold brew and rate the resulting product.
Pinned
All my coffee reviews will rank from bottom to top as. Un-f***ing Acceptable, Acceptable, Pretty Good, Very Good, F***ing Exceptional. I won't be doing tasting notes.
Sipping on this from Trader Joe's this week. As usual, I made cold brew. It turned out Pretty Good.

Cold brew made with this came out to be Acceptable. Also beans were darker than rated roast level.

Been sipping on this as cold brew all week. Been having afternoon cups too because it turned out to be quite delicious. It gets a rating of Very Good.

Made this one about a month ago and forgot to post about it. It was also made as cold brew. It gets a rating somewhere between Acceptable and Pretty Good.

This one gets a rating of Very Good. I made it as cold brew as well. Haven't made a pour over in a long while. Can't remember the last time I had a hot cup of coffee. Ha

This one was quite a surprise. As cold brew it gets a rating of Very Good heading in the direction of F***ing Exceptional. Unbelievably smooth mouth feel that was unexpected.

Made this batch of cold brew this week. It turned out to be Pretty Good. Somehow I thought it tasted better on day two. Which I have no explanation for.

Made this as cold brew. It's a little better than Acceptable, but not good enough to be Pretty Good. It tastes like what I'd consider a basic coldbrew to taste like. Definitely worth the 8.99 I spent.

This one turned out to be delightful. A rating of Very Good. I made cold brew with the whole bag.

Tried this recently. Only made coldbrew with the bag. It rates as Acceptable. Beans were darker and more oily than a typical medium roast when I opened the bag. I generally don't mind risking trying coffee from Trader Joe's. I used to work there and the coffee hits at times.

This coffee ranks Pretty Good as both cold brew and a pour over.

This one turned out Acceptable as cold brew and Acceptable made through auto-drip. Haven't made a pour over of it yet. Was feeling lazy today and I've been sipping cold brew the last few weeks exclusively.

This one brewed as a pour over was similar to Fast Forward by Counter Culture. As cold brew it was better than Fast Forward. Significantly so. The coffee shop I was employed at did Fast Forward as their cold brew. I didn't like it. This Cultivate Better Together was Pretty Good as a pour over...

This coffee surprised me with how good it is. As a pour over it is Very Good. As cold brew it is F***ing Exceptional. I know I said I wouldn't do tasting notes, but I'm excited. The peach note comes out a lot as a pour over and it tastes fruity and juicy as cold brew. It's wild. Unexpectedly great.

My daughter got this for me for my birthday last year in December. It gets a rating of Very Good. I only brewed it as a pour over and with my cheap auto-drip maker. Drank all of it before taking the opportunity to make cold brew.

This is the other coffee in my top two favorites. I was reflecting on how much I loved this sundried Burundi. I remembered we got it at the coffee shop I was a barista at for a year. I think that crop at that time had a cashew tasting note. It was out of this world then. Still is.

Made a pour over of this today. Been a few years since I brewed this one. It tastes like how you'd expect a basic coffee should taste. It receives a rating of Pretty Good. I have not made cold brew with it yet, but plan to. Again I like to have decaf on days off to moderate caffeine intake.
