I have this friend and ex-colleague in Chicago – Leecox – who hails from Kenya and has his own coffee business. Got some of his Kenyan coffee from his online store and tried it out. You can read about their story here. The package came with 3 different packs of coffee. Gave two of them to two current colleagues of mine – Julia and Akshay. The three of us are neophytes in coffee culture and trying our best to gain some expertise. We even have a name for our group – “Sip Happens!”

In any case, all three have liked this Kenyan coffee. A bit bitter as coffee should be and less on the sour notes.

After watching you a few Youtube videos and some trial and error, getting the hang of microfoaming. One problem is that I am supposed to shut it off at 150 degrees. But I like my coffee much hotter – 170 to 180 degrees. I have to find a solution for that.
