An Abundance of Breakfast Blend Brilliance

Well, maybe not all-outbrilliant, but for sure balanced and complete. Find out which of five breakfast blends impressed the most and which was sunk by a slight rubbery edge; which was lightest roasted and which darkest. The Coffeeists talk roast levels, prices, profiles and preferences for five surprisingly fine American breakfast blends. Ken Davids has been involved in coffee since the early 1970s and has published four books on coffee, including Home Roasting: Romance and Revival, now in its second edition, and Coffee: A Guide to Buying, Brewing and Enjoying, which has sold nearly 250,000 copies in five editions. His most recent book is 21st Century Coffee: A Guide. This series is hosted by brewing expert Kevin Sinnott. Kevin is a Chicagoland comic trained by Second City. He is also the host and creator of Coffee Con Festival, a roving coffee festival established in 2011 that has hosted over twenty festivals nationwide in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco. Each series of episodes from Coffeeists, focuses on five coffees that are related in some way, usually by having been grown in the same region of the world. Viewers watch and learn as Ken and Kevin taste each of the five coffees and together discover their character in the cup and discuss the reasons they taste the way they do. 00:00 - 00:20 Introduction: Agtron roast level 00:21 - 01:11 The Coffee Roast Levels 01:12 - 03:53 Kevin and Ken Rank the Order of the Coffees by Preference 03:54 - 05 :55 Pricing of the Coffees - Price Per Cup 05:56 - 07:01 Good news for Breakfast Coffees End Music Good Cookin' by Stan Town
