MrJerry popped my cherry

[BrownDevil]

Alrighty, so my 13 year old daughter is graduating from Jr. High this month, and a ton of family will be visiting. I wanted to have a decent cup of coffee for my pops for his visit, so I thought about MrJerry.

Since I've never had a cup of coffee before, I had no idea what to order, how to grind coffee, brew it, etc. I pmed our Coffee Doctor for some advice and he asked me to give him a call on his secret # :love:

So we rapped for a few minutes and he schooled me a bit and offered some suggestions.

Today I received a nice sized package with 3 different bags of beans. I did as I was told and went and bought a cheap $10 grinder and followed the instructions on the bag. Brewed it up and gave it a shot.

WOW!! I tried the Mexican Mayhem. Can't really give a great review since I've a coffee newb, but it was great tasting, and my second cup went well with a LFD Double Lingero Chiselito Maduro.

Alrighty...still wondering if my new experience was a fluke, I brewed up a cup of one of the store bought brands I usually have on hand for clients/visitors.
YUCK!!

Thanks MrJerry...you have another customer :thumbs:

Next step is to get rid of that $10 "herb" grinder and get yourself a real one

My employees joke that if they ever cut me open all they will find will be cigars and coffee -

Enjoy it all.

Mr. Jerry does have some of the best coffee if I don't say so myself......... :thumbs:

If you can call store bought coffee, its actually a real stretch. Sure it produces a dark liquid that has caffeine in it. Kinda smells like it could be coffee, but it sure isnt. :laugh: Every country I goto, one of the first things I do is find the best coffee source they have and give it a try. I've even gone to the extreme lengths while visiting Honduras and arranged a special tour so that I could enjoy a fresh cup of espresso in a country side village. :thumbs:

So is it a fluke you had a good cup of coffee? Nope...Long as it isnt bought in the store. :laugh:

How could you never have had coffee before? At least you started with the good stuff.

 

[grateful1]

Every thing else pales to fresh brewed, home ground real coffee!
I'll have to speak with this "MrJerry"!

thanks,
Gary

Just never found it appealing I guess :blush:
Then again, never even tried a cigarette before either

Do it. If you have never had Killer Beans, you will be pleased. I am a bit of a snob in most of my endeavors (I know, I know, everyone here is so shocked by this), and used to drink a decent amount of stupidly pricey coffee. After speaking to Mr. jerry, finding out that even the way I was storing it was killing it, and then tasting his coffee, I will never go back. By the way, Mr. Jerry, that Brazilian Bombshell has been taking really good care of me.

I enjoy good coffees as well. It was a real eye-opener(not in the caffiene sense) once tasted fresh ground coffee. Since then I go around to the small coffee houses and buy the been versions. This past March I had the opportunity to taste it before it even got packaged at a Tres Generaciones plantation in Costa Rica. That was some good stuff. Who is this Mr. Jerry? Does he have an online site? I still have some questions and looking for interesting coffees.

OK..so I've never heard a bad thing about Killer Beans or MJ, but I am a Starbucks grind at home addict. I currently am supporting a 20 shot/week habit. Yes, my name is Jeremy..and I am an espresso-a-holic. I've tried meetings..the patch..nothing helps. I've decided I just don't 'want' to quit. So there!

Can anyone compare Bux and Killers beans for me?

Hey Robert - Never had coffee, I am floored!
Have you tried sex - you know, cigars, coffee, sex :laugh: :laugh:

No.

There is no comparison. Get Killer Beans espresso roast, and prepare to forget all about that other place.

Thanks - B.B.S.

Glad to see you expanding your palate and taste buds BD.

If your not using a bur grinder and using a blade grinder - odds are the coffee is getting "burnt" from the friction created by the blades. Hence - taking "flavor" away from the beans before you ever brew them. A bur brinder is minimal and produces less heat when grinding, leaving more flavor in the pot.



edit - still trying to figure out how to quote
