In episode 255 of the Daily Ristretto, I examined the Inner Core shipment that arrived from Tectonic Coffee. It came with two bags of coffee: one with a red colored QR code label and the other with a blue colored QR code label. After I took the pictures, I couldn't remember which one was which. 

In episode 254 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about Devine Coffee's single origin Colombian coffee that Mike and I tasted recently. It was delicious and stood up well to cream and sugar. It is one of three offerings they currently have in stock.

In episode 252 I drink Jarmans Craft Coffee on the air. It's not a full brew and review, but it was very good. I brewed both the original and barrel aged single origin Colombia Narino with a Hario V60. The barrel aged is not my favorite, but I could certainly taste the bourbon.  My favorite part is drinking the same coffee in two different ways. If you enjoy whiskey and craft alcoholic beverages, this is a no-brainer: get in on this limited time offering by clicking the link to Jarmans...

In episode 241 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about keeping my bling shined up, having coffee lost in the mail, and trying to find the best ingredients and recipes for infused cold brews.

In episode 240 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about Take Flight Coffee's latest marketing postcard and using steamed and frothed half&half instead of milk in espresso and coffee beverages. Have any of you ever tried this before? Is it a regional thing?
