My brother-in-law made me a coffee snob. So, he surprised me with this Lavazza Espresso. I honestly thought it would taste like “Welcome Centre” coffee, but it was not bad. Sweet, oily, and quite easy to enjoy. But, it’s just one of those things where I would only buy it if there were not many other choices.

Pointless fun fact with name drop, cause I am the main character right now, the cappuccino cup I am using came as a set, that was a gift from retired NBA player Danillo Gallinari. They were two, one fell and broke when I was in Texas. I have it in a box and will super glue it together some day. Also included were two espresso cups that I’ve never used.

My third bag of coffee is Java House Espresso. Now, the person who picked this for me recommended it for its sweet non-offensive taste. That is there. Sweet, nice body, a nice house coffee. The caramel and chocolate taste carry strong here. Its smell dankish but that isn’t all bad. Definitely a keeper.

My day starts with this. Now, I’m a fan of Java, they make good house coffees, nice caffeine content and this one is exactly like that. Its a medium roast with a good kick. Its fruity but not strong fruity. I guess their attempt to mix up three country blends will do that. Would buy again, but as a pure house coffee.

After my first batch of Kenyan coffee, a friend of a friend travelled to Kenya and brought me back more coffee.

Artcaffē is a brand of coffee houses based in Kenya and they make coffee too.

This is some seriously good coffee. It comes across as spicy, a bit acidic in a good way, dark chocolate flavour comes in strong, very pleasant smell in the house, the roast in the packet is thick, and it makes for a nice house coffee. Its a shame I got it ground, and not in bean form, but that does not take away from the flavour at all.

This is a coffee I will always try and get. A long term keeper.
