What did you do to your colleague to deserve that?

LoL… Actually she doesn’t really into the coffee world. She knows I’m a coffee addict, and always bring me beans if she able to get some.

The only way I enjoy drinking robusta is doing Vietnamese coffee with a phin and adding plenty of sweetened condensed milk. One thing to be aware of is that robusta has about double the caffeine of arabica. So depending on how caffeine affects you, you might want to take it easy.

I heard that dark roasted beans work well with cold brew extractions

I have a friend that assumes darker = better coffee. I used to think I liked dark roasted coffee the best. Just gotta learn the other ways.

I’d do maybe cold brew mochas?

That’s my parents, have been drinking Starbucks dark roast for the last 20 years and growing up I always thought I didn’t like coffee until I started exploring on my own.
