Coffee Review: Millstone Colombian Supremo

So, I am drinking this stuff right now and JoJo had a taste. We like, we like. I can't decide though if it is because Millstone is so fresh or because Millstone just sounds like fun, I mean who doesn't want to mill a stone? I know I do. Anyway, random thoughts will only get us so far, let's dig in to the meat of the matter.


Taste: Rich, bold, strong, damn it is strong and I didn't use that much. JoJo said that is probably what Charlie Sheen says every morning. JoJo you know it's not polite to use Charlie like that, he is riding the white tiger and drinking its blood, no doubt. Okay, so this stuff is billed as a medium roast handpicked from the mountains and all that good stuff. Upon reflection it tastes like a mountain, kind of, ya know... if you roasted a mountain and brewed it? No really, it's good and strong and as they say rich and full bodied. Taste gets 4.0 out of 5.

Aroma: JoJo had his nose on this, all over this, up and around and down the cup, even smelling my breath afterwards was on his agenda. I have to say it smells like coffee, and I don't mean that weak crap they brew at Denny's or Waffle House or something, I mean it smells like good fresh roasted coffee. I could easily pick up the boldness of the flavor just from smelling it. I could do some more jokes here but I won't, I'll spare you. Aroma gets a 4.0 out of 5

Packaging: Fitting, JoJo likes the picture on the bag, he always does like pictures on bags though, heard Charlie Sheen does too.. Ooooh.... Okay so anyway that made little sense and I kinda agree, it's suiting, the packaging is not elaborate or detailed but it is elegant. Packaging gets a 3.5 out 5.

Staying Power: This one could stick around, it's a bit pricey at almost ten dollars a pound, but guess what folks coffee is going through the roof. I'm going to be rich and famous so send me your coffee now!!! No? Well I tried. This one gets Overall: 3.8 out of 5, rounding up to 4 out of 5 because maybe someday someone will pay me for these reviews and I want them to like me. I make no money, seriously, someone pay me or use the donate button, I beg you.
