I entered Bel Horizon Coffee Roasters to taste the coffee of the day and to purchase a 250g bag of roasted coffee beans.
A barista suggested that I try a cup of Coba from the Guji region of Ethiopia.
The espresso tasted full-bodied and robust but I could not detect any specific notes. I decided to purchase a bag of roasted Coba beans and prepare them at home with my 9Barista stove-top espresso maker to see what flavors might develop.
The coffee shop is small, with stools and benches around low tables. There are some tall stools at the serving counter. Tall, wide windows admit ample natural light.
A handsome coffee roaster stands in a side room.
Back home, preparing espressos with my 9Barista stove-top espresso maker, I tasted a hint of honey, but later, after several cups over several days, the brew tasted more like cherry. It is a pleasant-tasting coffee—sweet and fruity.
