Fellow Guat Coffee Lovers
Anyone who has been reading here for awhile might not be surprised to hear about my mini obsession to find coffee that at least comes close to what I drank in Guatemala. I have tried many, many, many Guatemalan coffees – I buy it any time I see it. Nothing has come close to being the same as what I drank while in Guatemala but a couple of recent finds have come sort of close to what I bought and brought home from there. I wanted to share in case anyone else shares my mini obsession.
I am currently enjoying the pictured cup of coffee. (Don’t hate me for my beautiful froth…I’ve told you how you could have froth at home too.) My first pretty darn good Guatemalan find was at World Market. If you don’t have World Markets near you, I am sorry. Think Pier 1 with food – all sorts of funky, ethnic items and a variety of cool ethnic food finds too. Their organic Guatemalan coffee is pretty darn good – it was my favorite until today.
Last weekend, I saw a coupon on the Nashville Groupon site (search for your city…it is kind of cool) for $35 worth of coffee from a local online coffee shop for $15. I checked the site – they had Guatemalan. Score! I ordered some coffee, they roasted it and ground it and sent it to me. I’m quite happy. It is the closest I’ve come to what I purchased in Antigua. I have a new favorite coffee...which guarantees they will stop carrying it by the time I want to re-order so get some fast.
This is not a compensated post…just sharing a good find.
oh yum, they have some awesome sounding coffee!!!! I bookmarked it and as soon as I get through the coffee I have(I have too much on hand right now!), I am ordering some!
What an AWESOME deal!!! We order our Guatemalan coffee from http://www.juananacoffee.com. We like it, but it still is not the same as sipping a cup in Guatemala! I think the best cup of coffee I have EVER had was at the Don Rodrigo hotel at Lake Atitlan. Pure heaven in a cup!
try deidrichs coffee they have antigua and huehuetenango coffee. My mom, a guatemalan coffee addict, will only drink the huehuetenango coffee.
thanks for sharing this info, and reading the comments gives me more sites to check out too.
Oh, the Don Rodrigo…*sigh* Good times. GREAT coffee.
But I digress-we are always looking for good coffee. We’ll have to check them out! Thanks for the recommendation!
