Not sure if you know this about Matthew and I, but we love our coffee. We aren’t connoisseurs by any means, but we know what we like (usually a medium roast with chocolate and nutty, notes)! There have been a variety of local roasters we have visited and enjoyed. Yes, we do have more coffee than we know what to do with right now, but I’m sure we will catch up to it at some point. 😁
So, that whole coffee steeped in a bag was actually quite pleasant! It wasn’t acidic at all, which is usually my issue with traditionally brewed coffee. I even preferred drinking it black! Maybe I’ll be switching to steeped coffee…

Matthew stashes his ground coffee in the canister, and drink what I can get. Typically, I prefer cold brew because hot coffee gets cold. I figure I might as well skip the uncertainty about whether it’s still hot or just lukewarm.

I’ve been totally impressed by the number of local roasters that show up in rural towns. The coffee above was at a shop in a town of 5000 people.
