A good story deserves a good place to settle in: a chair by the window, a table after supper, a mug beside the book you meant to finish last week. The Copper Crow brings a darker corner of the bookshelf to Geek Grind Coffee, with literary-inspired coffees you can choose by the flavors you enjoy.
Start with two coffees from the series: Nevermore and The Wehr-Wolf. One offers a dark-roast profile with chocolate undertones. The other brings chocolate and hazelnut flavor to the cup. Here is how to choose between them.
Nevermore for dark roast drinkers
Nevermore Dark Roast takes its inspiration from Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven. Its listed profile combines a bold dark roast, warm chocolate undertones and a deep roasted finish.
Choose this one if you usually reach for darker coffee and want to explore the series through that familiar preference. The chocolate description is a tasting note; Nevermore is cataloged as a traditional coffee rather than a flavored blend. Brew the first cup the way you normally make coffee so you have a useful point of comparison.
The Wehr Wolf for chocolate hazelnut fans
The Wehr-Wolf Chocolate Hazelnut draws on the tale of Fernand Wagner and his terrible bargain. Its coffee profile is dark chocolate and roasted hazelnut flavor with a rich, smooth finish.
Choose it when a chocolate-hazelnut flavored coffee sounds like your kind of afternoon. Try a small sip before adding milk or sweetener, then build the cup to your taste. The flavor name does not establish an ingredient or allergen list; check the package information if that matters to your order.
Pick the format you will actually use
Both product listings offer ground and whole-bean options in 12-ounce and 4-pound bags. Choose whole bean if you grind at home, especially when you need to set a particular grind size. Choose ground when it suits your equipment and routine. A 12-ounce bag is a practical place to begin when you are meeting a coffee for the first time.
You can also make a quiet tasting out of it. Brew the two coffees separately, use the same cup size and keep your usual additions on the side. Write down which one you would want again tomorrow. No elaborate scoring system required.
