Trying out some coffee from Africa for the first time in this coffee maker. The coffee is a lot more intense. I understand this has something to do with Ethiopian coffee being grown in higher altitudes.

Finally got a bag of coffee beans from the largest coffee producing country in the world.

These are a fairly dark variety.

My best attempt at waking her up. With something that looks like a ghost in her coffee. (She is morbidly afraid of ghosts).

Can’t say I have ever tried coffee from Congo. It is not easily available in the USA. In general, Congo ranks 29th in the list of coffee exporters. Even neighboring Gabon with one tenth the size handily beats Congo.

This is coffee robusta.

I think I am going to just let it come out any which way it wants and just call it the art “abstract” like Sharmila does (which I do not understand either).

Instead of a bear, it kind of looks like an adolescent acne-afflicted coyote. But I did manage to put the ears, eyes and mouth. So, there is that!!

Had bought this during my trip there. This is Coban coffee from the north and central part of Guatemala. Usually grown in high lands, this is much darker and fuller bodied than the previous one (Huehue) I was having.
