So I got me some more Marley Coffee mahn. Dis time I try de One Love flavor mahn.
Enough of the cheezy Jamaican accent already.
So one of Bob Marley's kids has this gourmet coffee company and it's all organic, sustainable, helping the local economy/environment etc. etc. That's pretty cool. It's pricey too. I reviewed Lions Blend earlier.
One Love has a different, subtle flavor. Really hard to describe. It has the slight bitter aftertaste like you get from bold coffees, but a warm spicy-ness that is more interesting than satisfying. I know that doesn't say much does it? I've gone through the entire 15 servings in the box and still can't really describe the flavor. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. It's just "ok" as far as my preference goes. Not sure if I'd get it again.
Brewing in the Senseo was a bit challenging. Too small for the 2-cup insert, the only way to use it is to put it in the single serve insert, wet it, let it soak in so it gets spongy, then press down the top hard while pressing the lever. Don't blame me if you break your machine.
I tried using the folded coffee filter technique in the 2-cup insert both on top and under the pod and I got a cup of weak tea every time. The "press and latch" with the wet pod is the only way to do it.
There is plenty of coffee in these pods so if you like a milder cup, the lowest water level setting with the 2 cup button makes a decent cup. I like it stronger, so the high water level setting with the 1 cup button did the job for me.
