I know there are a lot of russian brands. But you can change any unknown brand to the word “local” or “russian”. The names are not that important.
My coffee story.Part 3. NEFTSo, I was always happy with my regular coffee. You know, the usual Starbucks and cheap coffee shops. But one day, during a trip to Kazan, Russia, my wife and I stumbled upon a coffee shop called Neft. Everyone insisted we had to try it, so we did. And boy, was I in for a treat!
There was something on the menu called an
"Aeropress", which I had never heard of. They showed me this weird-looking contraption that resembled a syringe. They asked me what kind of beans I wanted and I randomly chose Guatemala. And let me tell you, that was hands-down the best cup of coffee I've ever had. It was sour, sweet, had a rich aroma, and a long sweet aftertaste. It was like a dream come true!
I was so blown away that I immediately ordered an Aeropress device for myself. That's when I realized that the coffee beans I had been using before just weren't cutting it. I switched to
Tasty Coffee, an amazing roaster from Izhevsk. But then, I ran into another problem. My Bosch grinder wasn't doing a great job. It was leaving some of the coffee in chunks and grinding the rest into dust. So, I decided to switch to the
Timemore Chestnut C2 hand grinder.
And that's not all. I realized that I needed to know the exact temperature of the water I used to brew my coffee. So, I got myself a temperature-controlled kettle with a handy brew spout.
Now, I'm always trying out different brewing methods, different coffee shops, and different beans from around the world. It's amazing how different coffee can taste, depending on where it's from and how it's brewed.
I used to think that all coffee tasted the same and you could only add milk or syrup to change the flavor. But God, was I wrong! I've tasted some amazing coffee that had hints of cherries in them. Who knew coffee could taste that good?
So, that's the end of my coffee bio for now. But, who knows what the future holds? I'm excited to keep exploring and discovering new flavors. Thanks for reading, coffee lovers!
