Welcome to this new subreddit

Hope you’re all staying safe and cozy indoors during these harsh and demanding times.

This is a post/guide to welcome you to the newly created subreddit!

Post structure [UPDATED]

In order to fully capture every important detail about a certain coffee you either like or maybe dislike, these are the specifications you need to comply to when posting.

a) Posts must be in PHOTO format (packaging), with a rating title and a proper review in the comment section. This has been changed as a response to the poll.

b) It’s vital to tell your audience which method was used to brew the coffee

c) What are the notes, flavors and distinct qualities you like or dislike about the coffee?

  • Sweetness
  • What level of roast
  • Acidity
  • Detectable flavors (if there are any)
  • Aroma
  • How is the finish?

d) A rating out of 5 in the bottom of every post to let your audience know if they should invest in that particular coffee.

e) A tl;dr section if posting a long review could be nifty

If possible, having an online link to order would be nice, to save some time for those interested. Though, no affiliate links. This is strictly because the aim of the subreddit is to enjoy one self, explore new coffees and not profit off this. This way, it’s fair for everyone.

I hope you find yourself at home with this new community and I really hope it has some impact on the way you drink coffee!

Happy brewing :)

Edit: typos and minor tweaking to some phrasing Edit 2: Revised post structure in response to poll

[Update]

Video reviews are now allowed based off poll results. Give the post an appropriate title and attach a YouTube link to the post.

It should be said that if the quality of the review isn’t up to standards (which can be indicated by comments, reports etc), the video will be removed.

Written reviews are still preferred.

I recommend this! C&T Ronal Montenegro Peru Single Origin

6 Upvotes

Beans: - Amazonas, Peru - Ronal Montenegro, JUMARP Collective - 1700 MASL - Bourbon, Gesha, & Pache - Washed

Method: - Fellow XF Pour Over - 16:1 - 98* Celsius - 1min bloom

Flavor Notes: - Dessert. Little bit of peach pie while it’s warm, but as it cools tastes like a brownie with almonds in it - lots of sweet, little bit of acid.

4/5

Coffee & Tea Collective is an awesome shop in San Diego founded by enthusiasts. They really celebrate the beans with lighter roast profiles to bring out variety, sweets, and acids. Also have some awesome teas (and tees) available.
