I caught some flak this past weekend for the lack of coffee-related posts…So here’s a round-up of our favorite coffees of 2011:

• Counter Culture Alarcon-Charhuachinchay Microlot (Peru)
• Counter Culture Grotto Huehuetenango (Guatemala)
• Cuvee Hunapu (Guatemala)
• Cuvee Laguna Las Ranas (El Salvador)
• Handsome Don Medardo (Honduras)
• Kaldi’s Helsar de Zarcero (Costa Rica)

We tested more than 50 different coffees in 2010 (I know because I keep a spreadsheet).

Here are the best and worst from the year:
