I Was Recently Followed By @EtienneBlends On Twitter A Douwe Egberts Coffee Company What Make's This Such A Great Experience For Me Is That I Never Heard Of The Company Until A Week Ago. I Went To The Airport JAX, To See My Wife N 2 Princesses Off For The Holidays, And Guess What I Discover On The Way To The Gate ? That's Right Douwe Egberts Coffee, It Was Being Served In A Quiznos Sub Shop. I Asked The Cashier What Coffees They Had, He Replied Regular N Decaf, Which Was Fine For Me. I Had Went To DE Website And Watched A Few Informative Videos On The Company. They Seemed To Be Very Passionate About The Coffee. I Mean They've Been In Business Since 1753, So They Have Had Plenty Of Time To Figure Things Out. I Must Say Based On The Coffee That Was Served, They Have The System Down. I'm Not Easily Impressed By Regular Drip Coffees Served At Non Coffee Shops. It's Very Hard To Find A Good Coffee. I Mean It's Hard Enough Getting Good Coffee At A Coffee Shop Nowadays. The Coffee Was Great Tasting In Flavor Very Smooth No Bitterness What So Ever. I Wanted To Pair It With A Donut, But There Were None Available, I Will Say It Went Rather Nicely With My Pizza. Next Time Ur At The JAX Airport Look For Them, I'm Sure They Are In Some Of Your Local Grocery Stores. This Was A Great Coffee I'd Have It For An All Day Coffee, It's Just That Mellow N Smooth, Reminds Me Of Me :D C|_| Enjoy Your Coffee Guys, It Has Bean Fun :P

Don Franciscos Holiday Blend



I Will First Start By Saying I'm Not Much On Blended Coffees, Nor Preground Coffee, I Point These Two Thing Out Mainly Because The Both Have To Be Considered Carefully Because They Ultimately Affect The Outcome Of The Brew ;). Let's Get To It, Shall We?I Started Off By Brewing This Coffee The Same Method I Brew All Of My Personal Coffee In My Commercial Brewer, I Have A 2.2L Carafe So I Used The Same Measures That I Use. Upon Opening The Package I Was Greeted By A Nice Aroma, That Reminded Me Of Dark Spice Chocolate N Caramel Even Some Floral Notes. Yes I Was A Bit Overwhelmed With So Much Coming At Me, But It Was In A Good Way.

This Coffee Is A Blend Of Central N South American Coffees. I Will Be The 1st To Say It's Been A While Since I've Had Any Of Those Coffees. Now For The 1st Sip This Coffee Was Very Hard To Pin Point, Which All The More Makes For An Interesting Coffee Blend.I Will Only Give A General Experience Review Of What I Thought Of This Coffee. It's Definitely A Holiday Coffee, Heck A Great Breakfast Coffee Period. This Coffee Has Hints Of Carmel, Chocolate, Spices, Light Floral, Earthy. Really This Coffee Is That Intriguing, Like A Maze Or Puzzle. It Does Have A Bite, Not A Bitter One, Lets Say You Know Ur Drinking Coffee. Nice Coffee Aftertaste Of Smokiness Bliss. This Is A Definite Recommend For Coffee Lovers That Love That Strong Flavor Of Coffee. I'll Say This Coffee Is Strong Enough For A Man, But Also Intriguing Enough For A Woman. I Really Am Enjoying This Experience, While I Write. I Would Also Like To Mention Don Francisco Is 1 Of 3 Coffees That I Buy That Are Not My Own. Which 2 Me Says A Great Deal About Their Company And Quality.

I'm Not A Coffee Reviewer Nor Am I On A Quest To Write About Other Companies Coffees, I Just Feel It's Only Appropriate To Share My Good Coffee Experiences With You. I Get A Lot Of Coffee Love And I Give A Lot Back. I Actually Feel Like Coffees Little Brother. I Thank My Big Brother N Sister Coffee Companies. You Make Me Who I Am, Without A Role Model Where Would I Be? I Also Thank You All For The Knowledge You Guys Hand Down To Me, I Will Always Be A Rebel Renegade Coffee Apostle I Guess It's My Destiny. Don't Be Surprised If A Settle Down And Join A Coffee Church Fitting Of My Coffee Beliefs C|_| Thanks You Readers~ And A Big Thank You To Mike Gavina For Ur Words Of Inspiration And Ur Passion For Coffee.

In My Closing Words I Would Like To Say Readers If You Are The Flavor Type Coffee Person You Have To Try Don Francisco Vanilla Nut It Was Actually The 1st Flavored Coffee I Drank And Didn't Consider It A Flavor! I Was New In The Flavor Game What Can I Say! It Is An Awesome Coffee!. BODY Was Not Paid Any Green Coffee Beans, Coffee Bags, Coffee Labels, Coffee Equipment, Or Monies For His Honesty. I Received A Birthday/Christmas/Holiday Gift From A Friend & Decided I'd Share My Happiness, With You. I Mean After All That's What Coffee Is About. I Couldn't Be Writer If The World Of Coffee Depended On It! Well Maybe I Could..Take Care Guys Hope You Enjoyed C|_|

What Makes PAN ROASTing Coffee Different ?


In An Attempt To Not Only Clear Up, But Also Explain The Madness Behind My Obsession With PAN Roasted Coffee. 1st I Would Like To Say This Method Isn't For Everyone, For One It Takes Lots Of Patience N Time, I'm Sorry Some Of Us Don't Have That. I Mean We All Have Different Life Styles. It Is My Goal To Allow My Drinker To Journey With Me In A Day Of Patient Slow Roasting Technique An Unforgettable Experience. Relax Enjoy The Coffee, Some Things Are Still Made Good, The Old Fashioned Way. Remember When You Were Young When You Didn't Have A Care In The World? Well My Friend I Want U To Rewind Back Then And Have A Sip With Me, Provided You Have The Time. This Isn't A Job 4 Me, this Is A Passion, N A Celebration Of Me Living My Life. Now That You Get A Lil Bit Of The Picture I'm Trying To Paint, I'll Explain What Makes PAN Roasted Coffee Different. Don't Worry If U Don't Understand Everything I'm Saying I Will Explain In Later Blogs Take It One Page At A Time,Skipping Pages Isn't Allowed. Remember I Want You To Sip With Me. Gulping Hot Coffee Isn't Wise. So Now For All You That Wonder, I Will Not Say That My PAN Roasted Coffee Is The Best Coffee Nor Will I Say It's Better Than The Next Coffee, But I Will Say It Is The Most Unique Experience You Will Ever Embark On In The Coffee World. Meet Man vs Machine. It Is Important For Me To Say There Are Several Companies In The Coffee World I Admire. Who Knows Honestly I Can See My Name On Some Of Their Coffee Labels Guess I Have An Eye For The Future.I Will Always Own A PAN, But I Have Much Bigger Plans ;). Does Anyone Know The Perfect Person? If So I'd Like To Know Them Too! Well Truth Is Even Perfect Is A Matter Of Opinion Not Necessarily Based On Facts.With My PAN Roasting Methods I Don't Seek Perfection I Seek Uniqueness. In Short Coffee Is A Very Complex Beverage, I'll Leave All The Complexities N Number Figures To The Experts. Lets Say U Have 10 Coffee Beans And All Of Them Are The Same Bean Roasted The Same Way, That Would Make For A Uniformed Cup Of Coffee Right? Now Lets Say U Take 5 Of Those 10 Coffee Beans And Roast Each Of Them A Different Time, So Now You Have 1/2 Same & 1/2 Totally Abstract. Now Where Is The Uniformity Well Lets Say The Uniformity Equations Has Now Gotten Broader There Is Now Uniformity In The Total Batch Because They Are All Different But In Uniform Like People You See, Each Of My PAN Roasted Beans Has It's Own Voice, Even Though It Was In The PAN The Same Amount Of Time As All Others, The Results Can Never Be The Same Bean, Because I'm Not A Machine, So From A Complexity Stand Point PAN Roasted Coffee Should Be Harder To Pin Point Some Notes, Just Because Of The Way It's Process, That Doesn't Mean PAN Roasting Is Better, Just Means For All You Explores Out There That Like Being Adventurous Come On Over And Take A Trip On The Wild Side. I Promise To Hold Ur Hand If That's What It Takes, Free Your Mind Free Your Beans. The BEAN BODY Has Spoken... Hope U Guys Got Something Out Of My Coffee Ground Chatter C|_| Peace N Great Coffee! You'll Be Hearing More Bean Chatter As Soon As I Get A Writer..HaHa
