Well-regarded· sentiment 82/100

Two Reddit threads give Rogue Wave Coffee strongly favorable marks for its coffee. In one, a commenter called a Rogue Wave Clearpath coffee really good and described the coffee under discussion as one of the better ones for them. In the other, a poster rated Rogue Wave 10/10, recommended it, and said the roaster's regularly priced beans were always freshly roasted and tasted great, while questioning the price of smaller, more expensive bags.

I figured I couldn't have been the only one to experience the shipping delays/re-routes! Shipping within the US has gotten a bit weird, too. Yes, it's one of the better ones for me, too.

Cherrybook summary of the video

This video is a brew tutorial by Ply from Rogue Wave Coffee, demonstrating how to brew the Kenya Maguta Amber CM Lot H03 using the Orea 01 dripper with a negotiator for a no-bypass brew. Ply also demonstrates an espresso recipe for the same coffee.

From Rogue Wave Coffee Co:

“For today, we are using the Baby Zero, the Orea 01. We're going to be using the Orea paper filter, the Wave, and we are going to use a negotiator to make it a no-bypass brew.”
