I am telling ya these guys can’t spell. One more time, so glad that it’s not all about the academics because what they do is make awesome organic coffee.
This morning we tore into the bag of French Konnexion.
French Konnexion is a Peruvian coffee (I just typed Koffee 
), French roasted and the site describes it as chocolate-caramel-hazelnut. Hmmm.
As usual, I am tasting something totally different. Geez y’all, I hope my taste hasn’t been affected by the surgery! I just thought of that. Naaah….
I liked French Konnexion but not as well as the Morning Mayhem.. Here’s what I thought:
Very smooth, slightly smoky. Not burnt, mind you, but a nice smokiness like if you were drinking coffee in front of a campfire in the early morning, with a couple of trout fryin’ in the pan along with your bacon. That kind of smoky.
A little more acidic than the Mayhem and not as sweet or rich. Cumin, Cinnamon,Herbs, and Anise make this seem more Aztec than French! Bright finish flavor reminds your tongue you have been drinking coffee. I liked it alot and I am giving it a 4/5. Point lost because it was a little too acidic for my idea of perfect coffee.
While I found Morning Mayhem to be elegant and complex, I found French Konnexion to be straightforward and obvious. Plaid flannel, canoes, and hiking boots, with a day’s worth of beard stubble. My money says that Mike at Daily Shot of Coffee is going to like Konnexion better than Mayhem…
I am going to be ordering coffee at Kinetic Koffee. Although Mayhem will ALWAYS be in that order I am interested in trying some of the other coffees. Added bonus? Organic, and they donate to excellent causes. The price is amazingly reasonable.

Kinetic is on my list of coffees to try, I think I might have to try them sooner now. I think you’re right about the Konnexion, but it wouldn’t hurt to try both of them, plus it’s just fun to say Konnexion.
