This month, MistoBox provided the Table with a blast from the not-too-distant past when they included a really tasty Guatemalan coffee from Klatch Coffee. The roaster coming out of the Box today is also from that time of the year. Augie’s sent me three awesome coffees back in January and I’ve been looking forward to...
After yesterday’s incredible cup from Verve Coffee, it’s time we dip our collective cupping spoon a little bit further into April’s MistoBox. Klatch Coffee helped to introduce 2013 to the Table and those three coffees that they sent me were, coincidentally, my introduction to the company. As it turned out, they didn’t need a second...
It’s been a while, but the time is finally nigh—MistoBox Week is here again! Last month, MistoBox took a major step forward with the caliber of roasting companies that they source from with the likes of Passion House, Panther, Cartel, and Barefoot; this month, their Rolodex took another giant leap forward with the additions of...
It’s been a while since the last time Kuma Coffee graced the Table with its presence. It hasn’t made an appearance since New Year’s Day, actually, when it kicked of 2013 with an incredible Kenyan coffee that dazzled and perplexed the palate. A couple of weeks ago, Mark (the founder of Kuma) reached out to...
Back in February, Punxsutawney Phil poked his furry little head outside, saw his shadow, and predicted that we’d be surprised by an early Spring. But a whole week after March 21, the official first full day of Spring, we here in Chicago were exclaiming, “That Punxsutawney Phil is full of it!” Meanwhile, in sunny San Jose, where it...

One latte a day is almost $1,000 per year. (See chart) But for under $300 you can invest in your own home espresso...
Greetings once again, coffee lovers. Welcome back to my table here in the corner of this cafe. Not too long ago, I wrote a post about the scoring systems employed by fellow coffee bloggers and the SCAA to rate coffees that they drink. I, of course, keep no score here at the Table. While gathering...
We’re diving further and further into the care package that the folks at Barefoot Coffee Roasters sent me last week. Before 2013 (before this month, actually), I had never tried anything from Barefoot Coffee, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from them. In the past couple weeks I’ve gotten to try the effervescent and...
A couple weeks ago, MistoBox and Barefoot Coffee teamed up and presented MistoBox’s subscribers with an incredible coffee—the Palo Blanco Select from Guatemala. I couldn’t get enough of it; very really one of the best cups of coffee I’ve had in 2013. Knowing that I polished off that coffee in hardly any time at all,...
March’s MistoBox included a sample from California-based roastery, Barefoot Coffee—their Guatemala Palo Blanco Select, which proved to be one of my favorite coffees of the year, thus far. As it turns out, my review of that coffee turned out to a favorite of theirs, and they graciously thanked me for the kind words by sending...
