Stokes used to set the standard for coffee. Either they are going downhill or my taste is improving, not sure which.
A cappuccino that looked yuk, the taste was not great either.
I checked the beans on sale in jars, none had a pleasant aroma.
I was told the light roast not suited for espresso.
Not true. Try telling that to Makushi, single source, traced back to farm, light roast.
The least worst was beans from Nicaragua. Medium roast
I was told roast earlier in the week or last week.
Then when they were weighed out, I checked again, told roast 17 February.
No way.
I settled for a blend, that is meant to emulate Blue Mountain.
They offered to grind.
No way.
As I write, the aroma fills the room.
My cappuccino, and I assume the latte too, was from an espresso blend.
I headed up Steep Hill to Makushi, looking in Madame Waffle on the way where they source beans from Square Mile Coffee Roasters.
