Volcanica Coffee Costa Rican Peaberry Review by The Coffee Concierge

Review Summary -

The Costa Rica Peaberry coffee is characterized as medium to dark roast, leaning toward the darker side of the spectrum. It's emphasized that this coffee is a Peaberry, which makes up only about 5% of the total yield of a crop, which Volcanica markets as special and exceptional. The reviewer expresses that while Peaberry coffees have been generally enjoyable, this perception can be subjective.

The reviewer shares his experience with the Costa Rica Peaberry coffee, highlighting its excellence when brewed as espresso. He mentions tasting dark chocolate and nutty notes initially, followed by surprising berry flavors in the aftertaste. The coffee's consistency and forgiving nature, even under different grind settings, are commended. When brewed as drip coffee, it's described as smooth, drinkable, and balanced, although it lacks complexity. The coffee's origin is noted as the La Minita Sabella estate in Costa Rica, grown at an elevation of approximately 5,200 feet.

In conclusion, the reviewer recommends the Costa Rica Peaberry coffee for a broad audience, especially for those open to medium to dark roast profiles. While it may lack complexity, its forgiving nature, consistent performance, and suitability for various brewing methods, particularly as espresso, make it a solid choice for coffee enthusiasts.
