After a weekend off for traveling with the family, it’s always great to enjoy a cup of warm coffee at home.

Well, you may have already seen some photos of the place that we visited last week, but let’s now go to the main topic of the post - coffee.

We decided to buy a different coffee this time - Jacobs Barista editions. This was a coffee that we used to buy all the time before we started buying from Dabov Specialty Coffee. Jacobs is cheaper and lower class coffee, and as we didn’t know what the coffee machine at the guest house was going to be, this was a reasonable choice. We really didn’t want to sacrifice our tasty coffee on an improper machine.

To our surprise, there was an espresso machine available and it wasn’t that bad at all. I think the coffee matched really well this exact coffee maker and, to be fair, we wasn’t expecting to get brilliant results from them.

The coffee didn’t have fancy flavor, nothing fruitful and exclusive. The main flavors here are maybe chocolate and some nuttiness, more towards the traditional coffee flavor that all the people are familiar with. Maybe the roast was darker than what I’m used to and the overall mouthfeel was a bit harsh. This coffee isn’t really that bad at all and it’s very drinkable to my taste. That was not the opinion of my wife though… She didn’t like this coffee at all and she also didn’t finish one of the cups that I prepared. Maybe the exclusiveness of the Dabov Specialty Coffee is addicting and once you go with the specialty coffee it’s harder to go back to the ordinary ones. At least the atmosphere to enjoy our coffee was great and peaceful.

Well, we are back home now and we are gladly enjoying the new delivery of Dabov Specialty Coffee. One of the best picks and a coffee that I really wanted to buy is Space Blend - a mix of exclusive coffees from Africa, Central and Latin America and this coffee was released with reference to the International day of human space flight -12th April. I’m happy that I managed to get the Space Blend because just one day after completing my order the coffee was out of stock.

I think that the founder of Dabov Specialty Coffee is a fan of the space exploration and the open universe, because they have stickers with astronaut in a coffee cup from the beginning of the coffee company.

This coffee mix is from the exclusive black labeled collection that is supposed to be better and more balanced than the brown and red label coffees. The black labeled coffees are also not so fruitful but you can still find some interesting fruit notes in the overall flavor.

Of course I ordered the coffee for V60 filter which is the best and most aromatic way to start your morning.

Jordan Dabov has decided that the best roast level for this coffee is Medium-Light. I really like my coffees to be light in the level of roast ones, but this darker roast will definitely give one step of a greater complexity and richness of the coffee.
Overall taste of this Space Blend combines some notes of Vanilla, Tropical fruits and Milk Chocolate but fruitiness is not very intensive. Yet the whole product is very complex and rich in flavor.

I really like red labeled and fruitful coffees, but this exclusive black labeled blend is very interesting too. Definitely a good choice to try and enjoy some different flavor. And yes, this coffee can easily send you in space, as all the other coffees found by Jordan Dabov all around the world.

Wish you a happy weekend! See you soon!
