Wonderstate Coffee Review - The Ghost of coffee past

Greetings my fabulous Fox River Roustabouts, welcome to another Blue-collar Coffee Review. This review is somewhat special. The coffee I’m trying is no longer available because the company has changed its name and branding. In December of 2019 (11 months ago as of this post) I was given two bags of coffee beans from my boss at the time Mike as a christmas gift. The beans he gave me were from a Wisconsin roaster called Kickapoo Coffee Roaster. As I was doing research for the review video I discovered that they had decided to change their name in order to be more socially conscious with regards to cultural appropriation. They are now doing business as Wonderstate Coffee.
I could sit here and describe all the very interesting things they do as a progressive coffee company (like being 100% solar at their facilities!) but I really suggest you go to their website and spend some time learning about these wonderful Wisconsinites. Their website is easy to navigate and makes for some really good reading. Especially as you drink some of their coffee(wink, wink). Oh, What’s that? You’ve always liked coffee and are thinking about upgrading your brew set up but are not sure what you need? No problem, Wonderstate has your back with their own, hand picked “Brew Kits”. I’ll be honest, when I get a little side cash saved, I am very likely going to pick up one of these kits myself. As I said, the beans I’m trying were a gift; this is not a sponsored review and my opinions are wholly my own. I do hope you enjoy the video. Give it a “like” and subscribe to see what happens next in the shop. Halloween is just around the corner….
