This is the very same coffee my grandmother perked on her stove back in the 1920’s. Still the best! It’s a tradition in our house.
The Eight O’Clock line of coffees has always represented extraordinary value. I had occasion to prepare a coffee tasting for a small group of wine-lovers a few years back. The contenders were Eight O’Clock Bokar blend, Illy Cafe’s Famiglia blend and two blends from a very famous coffee shop chain that probably has a store within three blocks of your house.
I asked the tasters to use wine descriptors to judge the coffees and then to make a judgment of overall satisfaction. Of the 22 in the group,21 picked either the Illy or the Eight O’Clock in first place and all 22 picked one of them for second.
This blend is one that we use at home for the afternoon or early evening cup when we don’t want to be over-caffeinated. The flavor is truly balanced, slightly fruity with a hint of toasty chocolate. It’s a medium-bodied blend, but you can concentrate it by using less water without harming the flavor.
I strongly recommend using a plunger type french press coffee maker like Bodum Chambord 3-Cup Coffee Press or the unbreakableBodum Columbia 8-Cup Stainless-Steel Thermal Press Pot.
