I got the Cafe Cubano from Mayorga... instead of the Winter/Holiday blend, after reading some reviews for the latter. Totally worth it. It'll probably replace the Muy Macho for the every day brew (the latter being a little too intense except on rare occasions when needed).
Even the decaf version is as good as the regular. Which I need in the afternoon an evening to limit my intake as I'm naturally caffeinated to begin with.

Hey Kick,
I got the Cafe Cubano from Mayorga... instead of the Winter/Holiday blend, after reading some reviews for the latter. Totally worth it. It'll probably replace the Muy Macho for the every day brew (the latter being a little too intense except on rare occasions when needed).

hmm. they both sound good. muy macho is for shocking you awake more than cafe cubano, i suppose. - kicksave856
the Cubano is also muy strong, just not as dark.
Maybe the Muy Macho is too acidic for my gullet to have more than once per day. (EDIT: I make 16oz brews, so I'm actually having 2 cups of it at a time.)
But the Cubano is muy smoother, especially its finish. I think I like that better than the punch I get from the Macho.
Also, the tasting notes they include on their site are true. The Muy Macho is chocolatey, while the Cubano has the nice vanilla+smokey flavOUr. I think it may also be described as having hints of caramel/toffee rather than being "smokey"
EDIT: I think this may be the reason the Cafe Cubano is their best selling coffee.
PS: I think the Cubano is perfectly suited for espressos, more than the Macho. But I can't say for sure, as I'm too lazy to dig the espresso machine out of storage. Just going off the vibes I get from the press brew.

If you ask her she won which is hilarious...went from Disney to the Daily Wire...that's like going from the NHL to something below the ECHL and bragging that it's a positive career move
yeah, and I hope they bring back Bill Burr, with the character they gave him he didn't look out of place at all. - Pat1993
Seems weird that a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... there exists a place where the inhabitants have the same peculiar accent as someone from the south of Boston, MA.
