Volcanica Coffee Kenya AA Coffee, Whole Bean Review by The Coffee Concierge

Review Summary -

In this review, the author discusses his experience with the Volcanica Kenya AA grade. The reviewer notes that AA grade beans are often considered desirable due to his larger size, although he questions whether bigger beans necessarily equate to better quality.

The review then delves into the specifics of the Kenya AA coffee. The reviewer expresses his disappointment with the roast level of the Kenyan coffee, stating that it was overly roasted. He mentions that traditionally, Kenyan coffees from specialty coffee companies or micro roasters tend to be roasted on the lighter side, but this particular coffee was medium-dark to dark roast, according to his assessment.

Moving on to the taste, the reviewer shares his mixed results. He found that his preferred brewing method for the Kenya AA was espresso, where he detected flavors of cherry and chocolate. He found this method forgiving and enjoyable, despite the dark roast. For drip coffee, the coffee was relatively smooth and drinkable, even though it was more roasted than he would have preferred. However, when using an American press (full immersion method), the coffee was challenging to brew correctly, and the reviewer suggests that similar methods might not work well with this coffee.

The reviewer concludes that while he did not strongly dislike the coffee, he would not choose to buy it again, conveying his overall neutral to slightly negative impression of the Kenya AA coffee.
