Intelligentsia<\/a>. Just in case you haven\u2019t heard, Chicago has a coffee that many are now saying ranks up there as one of the finest coffees in the world. Very happily, Laura and Mark bought me a bag of espresso ground Intelligentsia coffee for Father\u2019s Day. Monday morning, by 6:30am, I had one cup down \u2026 by 10:30am a second \u2026 and then, after lunch in order to make sure I had a good firm grip on the taste, I had yet a third cup.
\nWonderful crema; a pleasant and pleasurable aroma; great smooth taste. Nothing bitter like that stuff from youknowwhere. Ah, the taste of a good coffee on a screen porch to enliven a morning. The blend? Black Cat Espresso Blend<\/a>.
\nI challenge you to a better coffee: I\u2019ve had Chestnut Hill Coffee Company, Pete\u2019s,
\nBoyd\u2019s, Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee Co (Kona Classic), and I think Caribou Daybreak is a fine coffee. But, I\u2019m having reconsider the order of my coffee top five list.
\nWho\u2019s had it? Who has an evaluation?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
