What does Mugged mean?
Mugged: Brewklyn Kona
Rating: 5+ [see key]
While Hawaii and Brooklyn are two of the farthest apart points in the US (check a map), you can get a dose of each in Brewklyn's Kona. The second of the two coffees I had the pleasure of reviewing from Brewklyn Grind (here's the first), I made quick work of this coffee amidst the usual three means of infusion (drip, french press and siphon).
The drip delivered notes of caramel, half & half, graham cracker, sage and walnuts amidst a smooth, medium body.
The french press differed in some odd-but-good ways, offering flavors of sassafras, graham cracker, bran, filet mignon and cinnamon amidst a heavier body.
The siphon was a compromise between the prior two infusions, holding graham cracker, butter, bran, sage and a little cherry amidst a medium body.
Overall, I liked this coffee a great deal, as it offered some pleasant, sweet flavors along with some differing notes of spices and a pleasant acidity. Not the hands-down-best Kona I've ever had, but a high contender. Give Brewklyn Kona a try if you're looking for a quality American coffee.
note: coffee was provided free of charge and the above review is objective feedback.

Hey, I dug the article. One question though: when you say 'drip' do you mean a drip coffee maker or like a slow drip i.e. pour over?
This is fine coffee shop. I think they serve in the USA two places very successfully and effectively.
My bro saved this internet site for me and I have been reading through it for the past several hours. This is really going to aid me and my friends for our class project. By the way, I like the way you write.
Nice review, and nice blog. I like the fact that you test the coffee using more than one infusion method. Really thorough.
