Clearly Coffee

by Nigel Ong

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.

Aside from its popular Breakfast Blend, Community Coffee also has many other styles of roasts in its collection. Some include the Signature Roast, New Orleans Roast, and so on.

One such popular Community Coffee roast is the American Classic Roast. Balanced and easy to drink, it probably is Community Coffee’s best-selling roast. I thought I’d pick up a bag and try it 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.

Aside from its line of fragrances and tobacco, Davidoff also has a respectable line of instant coffee. I have tried the Davidoff Fine Aroma and found it quite good for a premium instant coffee. 

But what about the others? There are two more instant coffees in Davidoff’s range, and I thought it would make sense to review them. They also seem to sell quite well on Amazon, with good customer reviews. 

I picked up a bottle of Davidoff Rich Aroma Instant Coffee in this post and will review it. 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.

Starbucks first offered its popular roasts in Nespresso capsules in May 2019, and the coffee has been selling well ever since. One of its most popular Nespresso pods? The Starbucks House Blend. 

Keen to explore more, I picked up a Starbucks House Blend Nespresso pack to review it. I will brew the coffee into popular espresso-based drinks and then sample them. I’ll also compare its taste against its competitors. 

About Starbucks House Blend

Starbucks House Blend is as old as the brand itself – it was introduced in 1971, the same year as the company’s founding.

This blend has consistently maintained its popularity over the years as a testament to its balanced flavor profile and the use of high-quality Latin American beans​​.

In this post, I will sample the Old Town Hazelnut White Coffee before comparing it against other White Coffees I have in my collection.

Many of us take strong coffee for the caffeine, thinking it can help to perk us up and keep us going for longer. If you do this regularly, you may wonder what coffee with the most caffeine tastes like.

In this post, I will brew the coffee three ways and then sample it with flavorings such as sugar and milk. I will also try to describe if the caffeine is affecting me much before comparing its taste with other dark roasts.
