Blue Bottle Coffee December 2015 box
Blue Bottle Coffee is a coffee subscription with multiple options to suit your coffee needs. Generally you’ll get 12 oz of beans every other week for $17, or double your bag for an extra $11. They also offer half bag and triple bag subscriptions. The prices vary by a buck or so on your coffee selections. You can try Blue Bottle Coffee free – just look for the “Try It Free” button after you hit subscribe.

Nearly a year ago Blue Bottle announced they have acquired Perfect Coffee, a coffee subscription that has apparently stopped time and has developed a magic method of grinding beans that never get old, but we haven’t heard anything more about that yet except it was supposed to debut this summer. Currently they offer only whole bean subscriptions but we’ll let you know when ground is available!

This month I received El Salvador Santa Ana El Majahual. I have the Origins subscription, but it’s easy to switch between the 3 types (Origins, Blend, Espresso) or one of the 8 specialty subscriptions available, as well as change the frequency and amount of coffee you receive in each shipment. I like that I receive a different single-origin coffee every time with my Origins subscription.  I find you can discover some really fantastic flavor profiles that tend to get lost in a blend.  I’ve had Blue Bottle Coffee blends (and espresso, though I prepared it as normal coffee) before, and they are selected and prepared with the same degree of mindfulness, though you will miss out on some of the delightful “rough edges” of the single-origin brews.

Blue Bottle Coffee‘s Description:

The everlasting seasonal dilemma: apple or pecan pie? Fret no more, we’ve figured it out. Skip rolling dough and drink El Majahual instead. Layered notes of toffee, apple, and pecan oblige your sweet tooth, calling up images of rusty autumn leaves and bumpy, caricatured gourds. Since the 1930s, Roberto Murray-Meza’s family has grown premium coffee at its high-altitude farm El Majahual. Their holistic farming practices ensure that the ancient Bourbon trees (80 years and counting!) continuously bear fruit. Roberto and his children look after their workers as much as their land, providing medical assistance and educational opportunities.

Blue Bottle Coffee‘s notes:  toffee, apple, pecanBlue Bottle Coffee December 2015 review

My Notes:  This bean made a great all around coffee — medium in roast and body, with a nice light, sweet, and nutty flavor.  The toffee and pecan make a nice base note that is light, sweet, and smooth, while the fresh apple brings a fruity nuance that makes the cup interesting on its own.  I would recommend this as either a breakfast or dessert coffee, as the main body of the coffee holds up well to pairing with food, while the apple makes it a great palate cleanser.  Very interesting flavors without being aggressive with acidity, bitterness, or roast.
