I recently visited one of Luckin Coffee’s first shops outside of China, in Singapore. As I sipped its Americano, I was surprised by its taste. I also wonder how Luckin’s Americano will taste side-by-side with popular Western coffee.
In this post, I decided to compare Luckin Coffee’s Americano side by side with Americano from Starbucks, McCafe, and Subway.

Donut shop blends are almost guaranteed to give you pleasurable sips. They are balanced and comfortable and pair well with sweet pastries like donuts. They sell like gangbusters, too.
Many roasters, including New England Coffee, offered their take on the Donut shop blend. How good is their blend? I picked up a bag to find out.
I will brew and sample Community Coffee American Classic Roast in this post. I will also compare its flavors against other relevant coffee and decide if you should try this roast.

Looking at grocery shelves, it can be hard to miss out on Green Mountain Coffee. With its bright green packaging and competitive pricing, it is probably the go-to coffee for many people.
Reviews indicated many enjoyed the coffee for its low acid and soft flavors. Curious, I picked up a bag from the grocery shelves to try and review it myself.
In this post, I brew the Green Mountain Breakfast Blend in three ways before sampling the coffee black and with flavorings. I will also compare it with other relevant coffee in my collection before deciding if you should try this coffee.

Starbucks Sumatra Roast is one of the more popular coffee roasts from Starbucks. It is also one of the more popular single-origin coffees from the giant coffee house.
Having recently tasted the Nespresso version of the roast, I wonder if the pod version tastes the same as the original roasts. This made me pick up a bag of the Starbucks Sumatra Roast myself.
In this review, I will sample the Starbucks Sumatra Roast. I’ll brew the coffee several ways and then sample it with popular flavorings. I’ll also compare the roast with relevant coffees to see if you should give it a try.

Have you ever ended up buying some things because they caught your attention? Well, this happened to me. I have never heard of BonAroma as a coffee roaster. Still, its packaging caught my attention, so I bought one to sample and review.
I will sample and review the BonAroma Cup Of Joe Blend in this post. I will brew the coffee several ways and then sample the coffee with popular flavorings. Finally, I compare the coffee with other relevant roasts and conclude if you should try it.

With people wanting to make their coffee faster, coffee companies now offer pre-mixed instant coffees. These are often a mixture of coffee, creamer, or sweeteners.
L’Or Essenso is one of the popular options for these pre-mixed coffees, selling well online and on grocery shelves. Curious, I picked up a bag to give it a try.
I will sample and review the L’Or Essenso Microground Coffee in this post. I’ll sample coffee and compare it with other microground instant coffee in my collection.

Davidoff may be more known for its fragrances or tobacco, but surprisingly, it also has a line of coffee products. Will their Fine Aroma instant coffee be able to compete with other premium instant coffee? I picked up a bottle to find out.
In this post, I will review the Davidoff Fine Aroma Instant Coffee. I will make cups of it and drink it black and with other flavorings. I’ll also compare it with other instant coffee before deciding if you should try it.

As much as I enjoy drinking Community Coffee’s Breakfast Blend and American Classic, it carries many other roasts. These include Five-Star Hotel Blend, Cafe Special, or some of their single-origin series.
One that stands out like a sore thumb is the Signature Blend. As much as I think Community Coffee makes pretty good coffee, how can I say I have reviewed the coffee roaster if I did not try out its signature roast?
I picked up a bag to relieve myself from this thought.

I was looking for coffee to review online when Kicking Horse Coffee’s Lucky Jim Roast came up. I noticed that the coffee has hundreds of positive reviews. On top of that, I have never tried this coffee myself.
This made me pick up a couple of their roasts and try them out.
In this post, I will explore the taste notes, aroma, and overall drinking experience of Kicking Horse Coffee’s Lucky Jim Roast. I will also compare this coffee with other relevant coffee roasts and see if you should give this a try.

Breakfast blend coffee is usually coffee roasts created for the first sips of the day. Usually light and easy, these are excellent coffee to be enjoyed by many. It also contains a decent amount of caffeine, enough to jump-start your day without being too intense.
However, would these characteristics change when you make them decaf?
Let’s find out with New England Coffee’s Breakfast Blend Decaf.
As usual, I will brew the coffee several ways and sample it with different flavorings. Finally, I compare the coffee with other relevant roasts before deciding who should give this coffee a try.
