REX Double XX

REX Double XX Review:

After doing a complete cleaning of my brand new grinder, and my 16 year old Mr. Coffee machine, I ran some water through my Brita Water filter pitcher. I wanted everything perfect for brewing this new (to me) coffee.

While grinding, what a wonderful aroma. The bag said it was roasted on January 10, and I'd received it on January 13. Today is January 16. Such a strong suggestion of chocolate filled the air. I ground the beans to medium. Not thick, so as to lose any possible flavor. Not too much, to avoid creating an espresso. Don't want to use too much too soon.

Measured an amount consistent with a 5 cup brew cycle. As the machine kicked into gear, the most amazing aroma started to fill the kitchen. My wife, on the second floor, came down to find out what I was doing. The smell was enticing to her, and she hates coffee and prefers tea.

When finished, I took my favorite mug and filled it. No cream or sugar... as is my practice with any new coffee. I like tasting it unadulterated with other flavors until I know what I'm tasting. Such a strong, and I'd even say bold, flavor. It WAS roasted almost dark. Notes of Chocolate, and Tobacco floated over my taste buds. I am in love with another coffee. Almost sweet all by itself. A touch of citrus acidity, but nothing bitter about this at all.

This is a coffee I would recommend to anyone who wants a GREAT cup of coffee. Try it "Black, no sugar" at first. It is an excellent choice for a late night coffee, even if I did have it before 11am. Working nights, this IS my night time.

For the second cup, I added two tablespoons of Clover Honey, and a half measure of Coffee*Mate (non-dairy) creamer. It really doesn't need any cream.... but that's how I take most of my coffee. Such wonderful notes and finishes. This is a 5-Star coffee. Aromatic and delicious. Bold and beautiful (not to sound like a soap opera). I'll bring some to a friend with a Pour-Over system, and try the second pot that way. Regular brewing works very well with this.
