Law On Coffee

Trader Joe’s Organic Guatemalan February 10, 2009

I love reading my server logs, watching how people find this site and where they go when they’re here. Since this is really just a hobby for me, and I’m just a dude who likes coffee, I don’t get a lot of traffic. So it was interesting to see my previous Trader Joe’s coffee review get more visits than the entire site has received. Seems there’s not a lot of people talking about Trader Joe’s coffee, but there’s a lot of people looking to learn about it.

With that said, I decided to review my second batch of Trader Joe’s coffee, their Organic Fair Trade Guatemalan. I really love Guatemalan coffee, the Counter Culture Huehuetenango is my favorite coffee of all time. After the horrible review of their organic breakfast blend, I didn’t expect much from this Trader Joe’s Guatemalan, but I was pleasantly surprised. The coffee isn’t bad!

Sure there’s not a lot going on here. It’s a single note; smells like coffee, tastes like coffee, finishes like coffee. It’s just coffee, good coffee but nothing to write home about. I’d definitely serve this coffee in a drip coffee maker at a family breakfast, or grind some up for my French Press if I run out of the good stuff. It’s good enough to keep on hand, more than good enough at just $7 a pound.

Course, you can’t order it online, but if you’re near a Trader Joe’s, give their Guatemalan organic a try.
