One more stunt before I'm old enough to know better.
Intelligentsia Coffee • Chicago, IL
You know the part in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when Violet chews the gum and gets a multi-course meal? This is the coffee equivalent of that gum.
It starts out with aromas of cinnamon and creme brulee. In drinking, the coffee delivers a woodsy, fruity flavor. It's sweet, but I'm reminded of something a little more savoury at the same time. As the cup cools down, I'm slapped upside the head with the flavor of peaches. It's amazing - easily the most complex cup I've had to date. This coffee is an exploration, with angles and surprises at every sip.
It was the Los Delirios farm that made me fall in love with Intelligentsia. This micro lot only adds to my delight.

The list is deceptively short, since I have purchased the same coffees on multiple instances. I don't create a new entries for repeat purchases, though I'll add additional notes to existing entries if warranted.
It takes a lot of money to open a business. If you enjoy this site, root for the underdog or just have money to burn, won't you consider donating to my shop fund?
Anything you can do will help. Thanks a ton.
