Intelligentsia Coffee Joyfest

Does the name "Intelligentsia" sound familiar? Intelligentsia is a high-end coffee chain in Chicago with a great reputation. I've had only a single experience at a café of theirs, and it was fantastic. My brother Joel visited Intelligentsia recently, and to my excitement, he brought some beans home. When he started brewing their Rwandan coffee with his Chemex manual brew, I couldn't resist grabbing my camera. What coffee! Wow, it is so good; it has a dark, spicy flavor and goes down smoothly. I commend Joel for his brewing skills, the Chemex for being a magic-making machine, and of course, Intelligentsia for their beast roasting job.

5 stars, people, 5 stars.


Here are the visuals; I hope you can taste the coffee as you look at them!
