Love it Kris!
So for a first timer, I would ...Ahh! Love it Kris!<br /><br />So for a first timer, I would say:<br /><br />1) Pick out a light roast coffee, first and foremost. Light roasts maintain the most taste while darker roasts tend to mask the flavor with more woody/burnt tastes. Imagine cooking a steak rare (most juicy, most flavorful) versus well done (mostly that BBQ'd/woody/dry/burnt taste). Dark roast is what most of your Starbucks Coffee is (Medium to Dark roasts with an occasional light done not so well...I could go on with them but won't). <br /><br />2) GENERALLY (because there are always exceptions) your African coffee's tend to be very fruity, often tea like in taste. These would be your Rwanda's, Kenya's, Ethiopia's, etc... For a first timer, I think you'd be most impressed with an African light roast coffee. Again, I speak in generalities because there are a lot of places that are producing some ridiculous coffee that is uncharacteristic of their origin. <br /><br />So in summary:<br />I would suggest you try a light roast African coffee. Try it black first, just so you can see the difference in quality coffee versus Folgers or Starbucks. Take your time when drinking it. Sip it like an expensive wine or a really good glass of Nesquick. :-) And if you want sugar or milk afterward, just put a tiny bit so that you're not masking the flavor of coffee with those additives.

U are quite the writer B...I gotta give it to you... U are quite the writer Bobby. I have never had an interest in coffee. Heck... I just got my first regular, boring coffee maker for Christmas. Which, by the way, I had no idea how to even make a simple cup of coffee. A bit embarrassing I must say lol. But somehow, after reading your blog, it has sparked an interest in me. So my question to you is what kind of coffee would you recommend to a first timer like myself? If I were to walk into one of your many spots you have raved and ranted about lol what would I order to slowly introduce me into this new world of coffee that is so foreign to me?Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04309545426497970033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543554588725703705.post-14133555303201374292013-01-16T14:36:51.935-08:002013-01-16T14:36:51.935-08:00Hahah I know I saw that!
