My name is Esteban Humberto Nevarez. I will be posting about coffee. Just wanna share my thoughts about it and show you don't have to have the highest end equipment to make a good cup.

This coffee is Pretty Good made as a pour over and Very Good as cold brew.

This one brewed as a pour over was similar to Fast Forward by Counter Culture. As cold brew it was better than Fast Forward. Significantly so. The coffee shop I was employed at did Fast Forward as their cold brew. I didn't like it. This Cultivate Better Together was Pretty Good as a pour over...

This coffee surprised me with how good it is. As a pour over it is Very Good. As cold brew it is F***ing Exceptional. I know I said I wouldn't do tasting notes, but I'm excited. The peach note comes out a lot as a pour over and it tastes fruity and juicy as cold brew. It's wild. Unexpectedly great.

My daughter got this for me for my birthday last year in December. It gets a rating of Very Good. I only brewed it as a pour over and with my cheap auto-drip maker. Drank all of it before taking the opportunity to make cold brew.

Made this as a pour over and cold brew. It's Very Good both ways.

This is the other coffee in my top two favorites. I was reflecting on how much I loved this sundried Burundi. I remembered we got it at the coffee shop I was a barista at for a year. I think that crop at that time had a cashew tasting note. It was out of this world then. Still is.

Made a pour over of this today. Been a few years since I brewed this one. It tastes like how you'd expect a basic coffee should taste. It receives a rating of Pretty Good. I have not made cold brew with it yet, but plan to. Again I like to have decaf on days off to moderate caffeine intake.

Made a pour over of this coffee this weekend. Used 50g of coffee and 750g of water. Made two 12oz cups. The coffee turned out to be between Pretty Good and Very Good. It got better as I sipped on it. I also made some cold brew with this coffee and it turned out Very Good.

Now grinder from REI. I got it using 50 bucks in gift card money and paying about 15 bucks out of pocket. Not exactly cheap. That said it grinds very consistently. It only does approximately 40g of coffee beans at a time. I'm planning to use it for cold brewing exclusively. It is manually operated.

*General note about my cold brewing methods: I fill whatever apparatus I'm brewing in to the top with water, while on the scale. I calculate how much coffee to weigh and grind based on this. I then dump water out of the container to make room for the grounds. I then top it off with water and cover.*

Cold Brew Method 3: 902g of water with 52.059g of coffee. I brewed it for 20 hours instead of the normal 24 hours I usually do. Didn't notice a difference in quality. Stir the grounds after placing in the water. Set the plunger/ filter on top of grounds just below the water's surface.

Cold Brew Method 2: I use a wide mouth Mason jar and loose leaf tea bags. 1940g of water and 114.118g of coffee. I usually turn the jar upside down to give more space for the bags of coffee to expand while absorbing water to facilitate extraction. Very gently massage bags once in water.

Cold Brew Method 1: I use these tea urns. I do a 1 to 17 ratio of coffee to water in grams and brew it on the counter or in the fridge for 24 hours. 1843g of water to 108.412g of coffee.

This was a go to coffee of mine for months. I've brewed it with a drip maker, pour over, and cold brew. It's Very Good. I most recently made it as cold brew. It's been months since I last had it as a pour over or made it in the basic a** coffee pot. So can't report comparative to both.

Whenever I brew via drip I pour what I don't drink into a Mason jar and stick it in the fridge immediately. Keeps for 48 hours before stale. Girlfriend bought me the drinking lid from Loveland Coffee in Irmo. I'm sure there are other places to acquire.

I use the cheapest Walmart drip coffee pot and brown basket filters. I fill the water in the back of the maker to the very edge in the back right where the air port let's the maker vent. This roughly allows me to brew to the top line of the pot at the 5 line. I use 7 level tablespoons of whole beans

I've used this grinder for years. It doesn't seem to break. It's pretty inconsistent on the quality of the grounds. I usually grind for different times for different styles of brewing. I also implement shaking whilst grinding as attempt to create more consistency.

I use this scale. It is accurate within +/- 2 grams.

This coffee gets a rating of F***ing Exceptional. It was a limited release at Trader Joe's. I worked there at the time. It was ~50 dollars if memory serves well. I bought 6 cans while in stock. I only made via drip. I bought this before ever working as a barista. It's tied for my favorite coffee.

Tried this a few weeks ago. It gets a rating of Pretty Good.

If you're looking for more coffee per dollar spent this one is solid. It gets a rating as acceptable. It's 25 percent better made pour over VS drip. I have yet to make cold brew with this one.

This coffee is Very Good brewed drip, pour over, and cold brew. Depending on the day I will prefer it hot or cold. So I am back and fourth on which brew method tastes better.

The Whole Food's Ethipian Decaffeinated coffee is Pretty Good. It's about 15 percent better made pour over VS drip. It is Very Good made as cold brew. The Trader Joe's Cerro Mogoton is Very Good. Only brewed it drip. I have yet to do pour over. I failed brewing cold brew due to grind inconsistency.

Brewed this today with a drip coffee maker and as a pour over. I didn't notice it tasting dramatically different between brews. This coffee is rated as somewhere between Pretty Good and Very Good.

All my coffee reviews will rank from bottom to top as. Un-f***ing Acceptable, Acceptable, Pretty Good, Very Good, F***ing Exceptional. I won't be doing tasting notes.
