This page is a mess and work in progress! The only things here worth looking at for the moment are the spreadsheets, if you can see it.
Everything below that is not ready for... consumption.
Har-har.
When doing rematches, I need to make sure to just update the original test with the new winnings (if there are any) instead of adding a separate test to the form/spreadsheet.

The W-T-L column is the "Win - Tie - Lose" count.
THE LIST BELOW IS CURRENTLY NOT CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED. It hasn't been updated since early September 2021. I'm leaving it here as it will be my final presentation once I have truly ranked the varieties, but for now the spreadsheet displayed above represents the current state of testing results.

A little earthy, little chocolate.
9.
Crio Bru Nicaraguan Medium Roast
5
1-1-3
Mostly indistinguishable from Crio Bru Venezuelan Medium and Choffy Volta Medium. Kind of weak dark chocolate flavor, but not much else. Works as a baseline comparison against other varieties.

Crio Bru Venezuelan Medium Roast

1-1-2
Mostly indistinguishable from Crio Bru Nicaraguan Medium and Choffy Volta Medium. Kind of weak dark chocolate flavor, but not much else. Works as a baseline comparison against other varieties.
5.
Crio Bru Double Chocolate Light Roast
1
1-0-0
Slightly lighter flavor than Crio Bru Venezuelan Medium and Nicaraguan Medium in terms of the weak dark chocolate flavor, but it smells more strongly of chocolate due to added flavoring. Decent, but not worth the extra money.
6.
Crio Bru Vanilla Light Roast
1
0-0-1
Slightly lighter flavor than Crio Bru Venezuelan Medium and Nicaraguan Medium in terms of the weak dark chocolate and vanilla flavors, but smells more strongly of "Vanilla Chex" due to added flavoring. If I can get past the "this smells like cereal" aspect, I may like it more, but I'm not sure it's worth the extra money.

Choffy Ivory Coast Medium Roast

Very nutty/grainy, little chocolate. Not very representative of brewed cocoa, but very enjoyable. The grounds are straight up edible, almost a little sweet.

Very dark and smoky. Can't drink "black", but with vanilla almond milk added, has a toasted marshmallow flavor. Great for weekends.
