Coffee and Cheese pairing
Pairing coffee with food is good practice for the palate. Some coffee pals and I are pairing coffee and fine cheeses. We've made notes and want to come up with a format for future pairing evaluation. We may not go as far as scoring, but it is not out of the question. So far we've made successful pairings with five Dutch cheeses. The goudas felt like a good place to start and proved us right. We'll see how other cheeses play out. Anyone interested in our endeavor should post here or direct message me.

We haven't paired Gjost. Maybe we'll approach Swiss cheeses next and can inlude Gjost. Suggestions and input are welcome. Has anyone on BX found a good pairing they would care to share? We'll go by nationality then types of cheeses (soft ripened, washed rind, etc.) I've read about a coffee washed cheese, but haven't found it. We have a great local cheesemaker - so maybe . . .

Hi Treva, Italian cheeses such as Parmesan (Grana Padano) and Provolone make grat pairing. And have you got any Brazilian Deli near by? We have some interesting cheese here to pair with coffee.

Hi Flavia, We've had success with hard and semi-hard cow's milk cheeses such as Grana Padano, Goudas and Piave Stravecchio. We recently paired a creamy chevre with an iced Kenyan. Tang with tang. There is a Brazilian Grocery not far from here in Silver Spring, Maryland. Thanks for the tips. I'm very interested to know about other pairings that you discover.

Hi Treva,
I've just entered this coffee recipes contest (sweet, savoury and drink) here in Brazil and I'm coming up with some ideas. As soon as I test them I'll let you know!

Certainly, the lure of being the First And Only Synesso is a tempting mistress. But are you ready to be the one and only service for the machine? Are you ready for parts to be shipped from Seattle USA at whatever timeframe? Are you ready to be out t…
After Margo, I say double WOW,WOW. Thanks Ricky, Jay and Joe for your ,out of this world contribution here. How many years does it take to learn all of this Joe. Are you Joe, a buyer/source person? You sure have been exposed to some wonderful coffee…
FWIW, I forgot to add that our machine is the Simonelli Aurelia two grp. Great machine I'm not sorry we have it but different class. I like one BX member's comment on the difference between the Aurelia and LM. He compared the Aurelia to a Mac and LM…
If you go with Marzocco, I read somewhere on this list that you can have it built/modded to virtually match a synesso as far as group separation with individual boilers for each grp head etc. There is some bling to owning a synesso. I met the owner…
Cinnamon mocha, cinnamon eggnog. I will try the cinnamon mint.
Our coffee arrived in Seattle at Slayer earlier this week. Excited to hear the results of their "Brew fest"! I heard Cartel, Cortez and Press all sent coffee. GO AZ 'SPRO!
if it's between a synesso and a linea, i'd get a synesso every time. but for my café i got a gb/5. if you're gonna go marzocco get a PID machine (either a gb/5 or a modded linea). i don't know much about KVDW except they're hard to get, right?
As I am on the brink of starting a new café I run into the question; which machine to choose.
I narrowed it down to three. Synesso, LM Linea or Kvdw. I could do with some do or don't arguments in this.
Details; the place is going to be in Rotterda…
