One thing I rarely mention on my blog is my love of
coffee. When I was pregnant the one
treat I never felt guilty about was my morning cup of coffee. In a world where Dunkin’ Donuts are popping up on every corner, a good cup of coffee is becoming increasingly hard to find. That’s why I was so excited when the folks at
Booskerdoo Coffee sent me some of their coffee to review. Into the French press it went!
Booskerdoo is based in Monmouth
Beach , NJ and was
started up by James Caverly. James had a
career in Advertising and Marketing but eventually decided to take his home roasting
to the next level and open up his own shop.
Booskerdoo emphasizes the freshness of its roasts – the beans are
roasted and shipped on the same day.
James maintains strict quality control and any beans that aren’t sold
within the first week of being roasted are donated to the Red Cross.
The area where Booskerdoo is located was hit hard by
Hurricane Sandy, though the store was lucky enough to escape with minimal
damage. Booskerdoo donated 10% of its
sales from the Jersey Diner Style Blend to the Monmouth Beach Fire Department
as a thank you for their hard work during and after the storm.
The Diner Blend was one of two samples the company sent
me. The Diner Blend is, as James puts
it, their “rendition of a classic.” New Jersey diner coffee
isn’t known for being bold and assertive, and the Diner Blend is a good roast
for people who enjoy a milder flavored coffee.
It is a definite step up from what you’d get in most diners as it lacks
the bitterness that you often find.
The second sample I was provided with was their Black & Tan, which
blends light and dark roasts. This blend
was much more my style as it has a strong, chocolaty flavor and goes down
smooth. I would be happy to add this
coffee to my regular rotation, and even happier to do so from a company that is
so supportive of New Jersey .
*Though samples
were provided, the opinions are my own.
