We really didn’t get an excellent cup of coffee for most of the trip including the ones we made and those we bought in the US. We didn’t manage to make a trip to Starbucks so were trying to do it ourselves.
This is a short story of the best/worst coffee ever and I guess this blog should be dedicated to Paul because he managed to “seem” to enjoy the worst coffee ever made.
Paul and I are coffee lovers. We search for the beans, get some flavored ones and brew it up. We both tried with little success to make a cup of strong but good coffee. Paul just about accomplished the goal in Green Valley. Not to be outdone, and to show my gratitude, I thought I would search for a coffee in the Mexican store and make a really good cup for him. I bought expensive already ground coffee and was delighted to invite JoAnn and Paul for coffee and cookies.
I prepared the brew in my “expert” manner, putting in the correct amount of water and coffee, maybe I added a little more just for good measure, and it smelled really, really good like only coffee can.
When we poured it however it was like black coffee syrup - really thick and strong - yuk. However, Paul managed to put in milk (and maybe a little water) and like a good sport drank some. Thanks Paul. My friend, JoAnn, missed the best/worst coffee, fortunately, because she drinks only decaf . Lucky JoAnn.
We finally got the best cup yet in Culiacan for breakfast and I think I have conquered this coffee and have made a good cup or two.
And, by the way, I finally read the package - ESPRESSO!!!
