You’re the Tops Pellini is one of the most popular coffee roasters in all of Italy. The company’s humble beginnings in Verona over 90 years ago grew into a mission to make every cup of coffee more than a habit.

At that time, coffee was purchased raw, then roasted and blended according to customer requests. Luigi became skilled in the processing [...]
Coffee Review: KIMBO Gold Medal Italian Espresso Coffee

Someone once said “Espresso yourself!” Once upon a time, I was afraid to espresso myself. Espresso will be too strong, I worried. It will be too bitter, I feared. I can’t have it with milk and sugar, I fretted. Of course, my concerns were far overrated – in fact, I have come to enjoy espresso, especially [...]

Very Smooth with a Mild Finish! When a coffee is named Excellent Aroma, you expect it to smell great. I expect it to smell great as a whole bean, in ground form and when brewed. Well, I am happy to report that Douwe Egberts Excellent Aroma is all that its name suggests! When I first [...]

Carte Noire is a French-based coffee company producing several varieties of coffee blends. The company uses Arabica beans to create coffees with flavor and aroma a notch (or two) above your standard coffee. (I love their tagline: A coffee named desire.) For this review, I tried Carte Noire Ground Coffee. I love the packaging – [...]

I should start this review with a disclaimer: I do not drink instant coffee. I have never found one that was even close to drinkable. So why am I reviewing Douwe Egberts Pure Gold Instant? Well, for one, I trust Douwe Egberts to make good coffee. I believe that they would not make an instant [...]

I have always loved the smell of coffee. I remember my mother boiling the grounds in a pan on the stove with an egg shell (anyone remember that method?), and I loved how the aroma permeated the kitchen, then the house, and reminded me that everyone would be in the kitchen soon. The aroma of [...]

Davidoff Fine Aroma is one of the first coffees I bought from EnjoyBetterCoffee.com. I was already familiar with the company through a popular men’s cologne, Cool Water, which my brother wore ages ago, and that I assumed was their only business. I have since learned that the founder Zino Davidoff is a real man’s man. His company [...]
