Fellow coffee addicts - I am back with a new coffee post. As you know (or maybe don't know) I like to use my Keurig machine to brew several fresh cups of coffee per day. I also like to share my love of K-Cup coffee with you through my review of a K-Cup - THE K-Cup of the Moment.
If you recall each week I reviewed a new delicious K-Cup on an "official" coffee grading system that emphasizes four critical categories: (1) Aroma; (2) Strength; (3) Taste; (4) Marketing Tactics that Forced Me to Force My Office to Purchase Said K-Cup. This post is different, however.
This week I would like to share my experience with ground coffee that I brew in a travel French Press that I received via a "Man Crate" (which deserves its own post) which my wife purchased for me. This week's Coffee of the Moment is Kimera Koffee.
A little background is needed before we dive into any reviews. Kimera Koffee isn't any ordinary cup-o-joe. "Kimera is packed with premium-grade Nootropics, proven to help you increase focus, power output and cognition. Nootropics are powerful cognitive enhancers that improve some aspect of mental function. The Nootropics in Kimera Koffee are all-natural amino acids typically found in protein-rich foods but not always easy enough to get from diet alone."
After settling with regular coffee for several years, I needed a change of pace. Additionally, I drink a cup of coffee before my workout in the morning. If you take a gander at Kimera Koffee's website and social media posts, you will see pictures of athletes who also partake in a cup of Kimera Koffee before their workout (actual athletes -- not unathletic humans - like myself).
Aroma: 9
Pop open a bag of Kimera Koffee and you are immediately greeted with the glorious scent of a deep rich coffee roast that will have you grinning from ear to ear.
Strength: 10
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be a lion? Well, have a cup of Kimera Koffee and you'll see. Check out my before and after photos after having my first cup of Kimera Koffee.
In all seriousness from a workout performance standpoint, I felt like I was able to push through cardio moves with more focus and intensity than I normally do with just a dark roast K-Cup.
Taste: 10
I really enjoy the taste of Kimera Koffee -- especially in a French Press. The coffee is very smooth and that rich coffee flavor that I really enjoy.
Marketing Tactics that Forced Me to Force My Office to Purchase Said Coffee: 10
Not a chance that I share this coffee with my co-workers. Also, I do not want to be responsible for what happens if they try and do a back flip off of their desk chair to try and get to the printer.
Despite not treating my office to heart palpitations and a transformative experience that will turn you into an animal from Jumanji, I was very much intrigued by Kimera Koffee's approach to coffee and was not disappointed.
Overall: 10
I am a big fan of floating above my body and therefore I am a big fan of Kimera Koffee. I use it as a pre-workout drink and have found it very beneficial to my workout routine. If you are looking for something a little different with natural ingredients to help increase focus and intensity - give Kimera Koffee a shot.
