They habitually roam rainforests, grasslands and wetlands and hunt for their prey at night. They are at the top of the food chain, with humans and deforestation being their primary threat. They are often killed as they are seen as a threat to livestock and competition for food. While there are still believed to be about 15,000 living jaguars, it&#39;s important we are proactive in protecting them.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;">&nbsp; &nbsp; The rapidly diminishing population of&nbsp;jaguars does not go unnoticed by <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/pages/rainforestalliance">The Rainforest Alliance</a>, who is seeking to protect this majestic animal&#39;s habitat by&nbsp;preserving the&nbsp;<span id="docs-internal-guid-c069a88a-7fff-ef35-b1b0-4e763c4fdf06">Pet&eacute;n</span> region of Guatemala; a dominion for the jaguar population.

It&#39;s no surprise that they are the largest coffee producing region in Africa. With that, comes a much higher risk of forced child labor, especially with Ethiopia having one of the highest rates of this injustice in the world. Over 50% of school-aged children in rural Ethiopian areas are working without pay, therefore largely missing opportunities for necessary education.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;">Why is this such a prominent problem? Well, the answer is multi-faceted. Due to a complex web of social &amp; economic issues, families resort to relying on children as free labor in order to have profitable farms. But in stark contrast, in Rainforest Alliance Certified Farms, child labor is simply not permitted. The RFA works with farmers to develop sustainable and ethical practices and pay workers fairly, not relying on forced child labor to harvest, sort and wash coffee beans.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;">At <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/collections/coffee">Bones Coffee Company</a>, we are committed to working with farms, processers, communities, and actors across supply chains to correct human rights issues over time so that we can protect the children and workers of future generations.</span></p><hr><p style="text-align: left;">[dib_prod_6797190168628]</p>]]></content:encoded>

There is a lengthy history of human conflicts with these tigers (largely as a result of hunting and poaching) that can increase in frequency as their habitat is encroached upon.

</style><p dir="ltr">Welcome to the ultimate showdown in the coffee world!</p><p dir="ltr">Whether you&#39;re a seasoned coffee connoisseur or someone who just loves a good caffeine kick, this fun journey will explore the delightful differences between these two beloved beverages.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">We&rsquo;ll examine everything from rich, robust espresso shots to the aromatic allure of a classic cup of drip coffee. Then we&rsquo;ll discover what makes each unique and why both deserve a spot in your daily routine.&nbsp;</p><h2 dir="ltr" id="differences-in-taste-and-strength-1">Differences in Taste and Strength &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</h2><p dir="ltr">For coffee enthusiasts, differentiating the taste between espresso and coffee is like exploring two different worlds. While both beverages originate from the same beans, their flavors can be strikingly different due to the brewing method and the concentration of coffee solids. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h3 dir="ltr" id="flavor-profiles-2">Flavor Profiles</h3><p dir="ltr"><strong>Espresso</strong>: Known for its robust, rich, and intense flavor, espresso often carries notes of chocolate, caramel, and <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/products/macamaniac-macadamia-nut-coconut-12oz">nuts</a>. The crema, a golden layer of foam on top, adds a velvety texture and a slight bitterness that enhances the overall experience. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Coffee</strong>: Depending on the brewing process, regular coffee can range from light and fruity to dark and smoky, with specialty delights offering unique options like <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/a/blog/sugar-cookie-coffee-latte-recipe" rel="">coffee with sugar cookie flavor</a> for those with a sweet tooth. Pour-over and drip methods highlight the bean&#39;s natural acidity and floral notes, while French press and percolator methods bring out deeper, earthier flavors.</p><h3 dir="ltr" id="brewing-influence-3">Brewing Influence</h3><p dir="ltr"><strong>Espresso</strong>: The high-pressure extraction process of espresso pulls out concentrated flavors and oils from the coffee grounds, resulting in a bold and aromatic shot. The quick brewing time (usually around 25-30 seconds) ensures that the flavors are intense and well-balanced.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Coffee</strong>: The longer brewing times for regular coffee (usually around 5 minutes for drip coffee to 4 minutes for French press) allow for a more gradual extraction of flavors. This can lead to a more nuanced and layered taste profile, where subtle flavors have time to develop. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><h3 dir="ltr" id="coffee-beans-4">Coffee Beans</h3><p dir="ltr"><strong>Espresso</strong>: Typically made with finely ground beans, espresso often uses a darker roast to achieve its signature boldness. The roasting process caramelizes the sugars in the beans, contributing to the rich, bittersweet taste. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">What about &quot;espresso beans&quot;? Espresso and coffee beans are the same: espresso beans are just dark roast beans.&nbsp;</p><p>However, the distinction lies in roasting and grinding. Check out our guide on <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/a/blog/are-espresso-beans-the-same-as-coffee-beans" rel="">espresso beans vs coffee beans</a> to understand how roast level, grind size, and brewing pressure transform the same bean into two completely different coffee experiences.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Coffee</strong>: <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/collections/single-origin">Single-origin coffee</a> beans are popular for regular brewed coffee, allowing drinkers to experience the unique characteristics of beans from <a href="https://www.ncausa.org/About-Coffee/Coffee-Around-the-World" target="_blank" rel="">specific regions</a>. Light to medium roasts are common, preserving the bean&rsquo;s natural flavors and acidity.</p><h3 dir="ltr" id="unique-experiences-5">Unique Experiences &nbsp; &nbsp;</h3><p dir="ltr">Espresso: Perfect for those who enjoy a quick, intense flavor. It&rsquo;s often consumed in small quantities as an espresso shot, making it a great choice for a concentrated coffee experience. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Coffee: Ideal for savoring over a longer period, regular drip coffee offers a more relaxed and varied tasting journey. It&rsquo;s perfect for those who enjoy exploring different brewing processes, like drip coffee or a moka pot.</p><h3 id="comparison-table-6">Comparison Table&nbsp;</h3><table style="border: 2px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p><strong>Aspect</strong></p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p><strong>Espresso</strong></p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p><strong>Coffee</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td style="border: 1px solid black;"><p>Flavor Intensity</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>High</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>Medium to High</p></td></tr><tr><td style="border: 1px solid black;"><p>Common Notes</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>Chocolate, Caramel, Nuts</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>Fruity, Floral, Earthy</p></td></tr><tr><td style="border: 1px solid black;"><p>Texture</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>Velvety, Creamy (due to crema)</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>Smooth to Full-bodied</p></td></tr><tr><td style="border: 1px solid black;"><p>Roast Level</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>Dark</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>Light to Medium</p></td></tr><tr><td style="border: 1px solid black;"><p>Brewing Time</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>25-30 seconds</p></td><td style="border: 1px solid black; text-align: center;"><p>4-5 minutes</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Whether you&rsquo;re an espresso aficionado or a coffee connoisseur, both beverages offer a rich tapestry of flavors waiting to be discovered.

Each technique brings out unique flavors and characteristics that coffee lovers cherish.</p><p dir="ltr">Let&rsquo;s break down the art and science behind these preparation methods to understand the difference between espresso and regular coffee brewing. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h3 dir="ltr">How is Espresso Made? &nbsp;</h3><p dir="ltr">Espresso is a delightful, intense coffee experience that starts with the right ground coffee beans and ends with a perfect shot. Here&rsquo;s a step-by-step guide to making espresso that will make you feel like a barista crafting your own coffee beverages! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Step 1: Choose Your Beans</strong></p><p dir="ltr">Opt for high-quality, freshly roasted beans. While any beans can technically be used, espresso aficionados often prefer ones specifically crafted for espresso (espresso beans).</p><p dir="ltr">Look for espresso beans with a rich, bold flavor profile. Popular choices include products with notes of chocolate, caramel, and nuts. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Step 2: Fine Grind to Perfection</strong></p><p dir="ltr">The <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-18247-4" target="_blank" rel="">grind size</a> is crucial for espresso. You need a fine grind, similar to the texture of powdered sugar.</p><p dir="ltr">Use a <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/products/baratza-virtuoso-electric-burr-grinder?_pos=3&_sid=34eb98c0c&_ss=r">burr grinder</a> for consistency. Blade grinders can result in uneven particles, which can affect the extraction process.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Step 3: Measure and Tamp</strong></p><p dir="ltr">Measure out about 18-20 grams of coffee for a double shot of espresso.</p><p dir="ltr">Distribute the grounds evenly in the portafilter and use a tamper to press them down firmly. The goal is to create a level, compact puck of coffee.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Step 4: Heat and Brew</strong></p><p dir="ltr">Preheat your espresso machine to ensure a consistent temperature for brewing espresso. The ideal brewing temperature is around 195-205&deg;F (90-96&deg;C). &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">Lock the portafilter into the machine and start the extraction process. For a double shot of espresso, aim for a brew time of about 25-30 seconds. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Step 5: Watch for the Crema &nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p><p dir="ltr">A well-pulled shot of espresso will have a layer of crema on top, a golden-brown foam that adds to the flavor and texture.</p><p dir="ltr">The crema should be thick and creamy, indicating a good extraction.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Step 6: Enjoy Your Espresso &nbsp; &nbsp;</strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">Serve immediately in a pre-warmed cup to maintain the temperature and flavor. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">With its rich, concentrated flavors, espresso can be enjoyed as is or used as a base for other coffee drinks with steamed milk, such as lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos.<br><br>To fully appreciate espresso&#39;s versatility, explore the <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/a/blog/types-of-coffee">different types of coffee drinks</a> and discover how this concentrated shot transforms into beloved beverages like cortados, flat whites, and more, each offering its own unique flavor profile and preparation method.</p><p dir="ltr">Espresso brewing is both an art and a science; with practice, you&rsquo;ll be able to perfect your technique and enjoy a consistently delicious shot every time. &nbsp;</p><table style="border: 2px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="border: 1px solid black;"><p><strong>An Express Process:&nbsp;</strong>Did you know that the term &ldquo;espresso&rdquo; comes from the Italian word for &ldquo;expressed&rdquo; or &ldquo;pressed out&rdquo;?

Whether you&rsquo;re a fan of the standard drip coffee maker or you prefer the hands-on approach, there&rsquo;s a method for brewing coffee out there that will suit your taste buds and lifestyle. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">Let&rsquo;s dive into some of the most popular coffee brewing methods and what makes each one unique. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><ul><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Drip Coffee Maker</strong>: The drip coffee maker is a staple in many households and offices. It&rsquo;s convenient, easy to use, and can brew multiple cups at once. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>French Press</strong>: This method allows the coffee grounds to steep in hot water, extracting more oils and flavors.&nbsp;</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Pour-Over</strong>: The pour-over method is perfect for those who appreciate the finer details of coffee brewing. It offers control over every aspect of the process, from the water temperature to the pouring technique. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>AeroPress</strong>: The AeroPress is a versatile and portable brewing device that&rsquo;s perfect for those who love experimenting with their coffee. It combines elements of both immersion and pressure brewing. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Cold Brew</strong>: For a refreshing and smooth coffee experience, cold brew is the way to go. This method involves steeping grounds in cold water for an extended period, resulting in a less acidic and naturally sweet coffee. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p></li></ul><p dir="ltr">Each of these methods offers a unique way to enjoy the rich and diverse flavors of brewed coffee. Whether you&#39;re brewing a quick cup before heading out the door or taking your time to savor every sip at your local coffee shop, there&#39;s a brewing method that&#39;s perfect for you. So grab your favorite beans, experiment with different techniques, and discover the endless possibilities of regular coffee! &nbsp;</p><h2 id="differences-in-caffeine-content-10"><strong>Differences in Caffeine Content</strong><strong><img src="https://dropinblog.net/34243353/files/image2-azap2.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700" height="460" alt=" Coffee beans, ground, and espresso latte art. "></strong></h2><p dir="ltr">Caffeine is a major factor in why many of us reach for that morning cup, and the levels can vary significantly when you drink espresso versus coffee. Understanding these differences can help you choose the right brewed coffee for your needs, whether you&#39;re looking for a quick pick-me-up or a steady, all-day energy source.</p><p dir="ltr">Let&#39;s take a closer look at the caffeine content in espresso vs coffee to see which packs more punch. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><h3 dir="ltr">Caffeine Content Is in a Shot of Espresso &nbsp;&nbsp;</h3><p dir="ltr">For coffee lovers who crave that perfect jolt of energy, understanding the caffeine content in a shot of espresso is essential. A single shot of espresso, typically 1 ounce (30 milliliters), contains about 63 milligrams of caffeine. This might seem modest compared to a full cup of drip coffee, but espresso is all about packing a punch in a small package. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">The following factors can influence the caffeine concentration in your espresso shot: &nbsp;</p><ul><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Type of Coffee Bean</strong>: Robusta beans generally have more caffeine than Arabica beans. If you&rsquo;re using <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/products/bones-coffee-companys-high-voltage-2x-caffeine">highly caffeinated coffee</a>, the ratio of these beans will affect the final caffeine level.</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Roast Level</strong>:&nbsp;Contrary to popular belief, darker roasts often have slightly less caffeine than lighter roasts because some caffeine is lost during the roasting process.</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Grind Size</strong>: A finer grind can lead to a more concentrated espresso shot, potentially increasing the caffeine level. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Extraction Time</strong>:&nbsp;The longer the water is in contact with the coffee grounds, the more caffeine is extracted. However, over-extraction can lead to a bitter taste.</p></li></ul><p dir="ltr">So, next time you savor that shot of espresso, you&#39;ll know exactly how much caffeine is fueling your day. Whether you&#39;re a fan of a single shot or prefer a double (containing approximately 126 milligrams of caffeine), espresso offers a unique and flavorful experience that&#39;s hard to beat.</p><table style="border: 2px solid black; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"><tbody><tr><td style="border: 1px solid black;"><p><strong>Taste vs Caffeine Content:&nbsp;</strong>Many people assume that because espresso tastes stronger, it must have more caffeine. However, the flavor intensity doesn&rsquo;t necessarily correlate with caffeine level. The brewing process and the type of beans used play significant roles.</p></td></tr></tbody></table><h3 dir="ltr">Caffeine Levels in a Cup of Coffee &nbsp;</h3><p dir="ltr">Ah, the age-old question that keeps coffee lovers buzzing: just how much caffeine is in that delightful cup of joe?&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">On average, an 8-ounce cup of drip coffee contains about 95 milligrams of caffeine. The caffeine content can vary widely depending on several factors:</p><ul><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Type of Coffee Bean</strong>:&nbsp;Robusta beans generally have more caffeine than Arabica beans.</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Brewing Method</strong>:&nbsp;Different brewing techniques can extract varying amounts of caffeine.</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Serving Size</strong>:&nbsp;Larger cups naturally contain more caffeine.</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Grind Size</strong>:&nbsp;Finer coffee grinds lead to more caffeine content.</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Water Temperature</strong>: Hotter water extracts more caffeine.</p></li><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"><p dir="ltr"><strong>Brew Time</strong>:&nbsp;Longer brewing times can increase caffeine levels.</p></li></ul><p dir="ltr">Whether you&rsquo;re a casual sipper or a hardcore coffee connoisseur, understanding the caffeine level in your cup can help tailor your coffee experience to your unique preferences.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Your Perfect Coffee Drink Awaits &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</h2><p dir="ltr">In the great debate of espresso vs coffee, there is no definitive winner&mdash;only personal preference. Both beverages offer unique experiences and benefits that cater to different tastes and lifestyles. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">Whether you savor the intense, concentrated flavors of espresso or enjoy the ritual of sipping a comforting cup of drip coffee, understanding their differences helps you appreciate each cup even more.</p><p dir="ltr">Ultimately, the choice to drink espresso versus coffee comes down to what you&#39;re in the mood for. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">Whichever you choose, you&#39;re guaranteed a delicious journey into the rich world of coffee. So, why not enjoy the best of both worlds? Let your taste buds explore the delightful spectrum of espresso and coffee.&nbsp;</p><p dir="ltr">Cheers to finding your perfect brew! &nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>

The mystical daily indulgence that has the power to bring together family and friends or fuel us when we burn the midnight oil in the solitude of our home offices. If you have just any ol&#39; coffee, things can get a little...grim. Dull. Potentially disastrous (don&#39;t even tell me you&#39;ve never exploded your coffee pot first thing in the morning). Frankly, boring coffee makes for boring brewing, which really doesn&#39;t make your coffee experience enjoyable, does it?</p><p><em><strong>But</strong>,<strong>&nbsp;wait</strong></em><strong>...</strong> consider with me that <em>BORING</em> isn&#39;t the only option. What if coffee could actually be exciting!? Visually stimulating, imaginative and invigorating for the rest of your senses. Gone will be the days of the basic coffee crutches of creamer and sweeteners to liven up your boring brews. I&#39;m here to tell you, friend, that <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/products/holy-cannoli-12oz">Bones Coffee Co</a> is the miraculous wonder-brew you&#39;ve been dreaming of. With over 30 flavors that rival Willy Wonka&#39;s wildest dreams, you&#39;ll find something that will turn your coffee experience from boring and uninspired to absolutely <em>exhilarating</em>.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/products/electric-unicorn-by-bones-coffee-company?_pos=1&_sid=c5f6bdd4e&_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #8362a3;">Electric Unicorn</span></a> will transport you to the warm nostalgia of childhood, enjoying a bowl of your favorite cereal before school. <span style="color: #99ccff;"><a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/products/smorey-time-by-bones-coffee-company?_pos=3&_sid=06c38c071&_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S&#39;morey Time</a></span> will inspire memories of summer nights making your favorite treat over a smoldering campfire. Try Bones Coffee for yourself, and you&#39;re sure to find a flavor that will envelop you in warmth like a hug from Grandma!&nbsp;</p><p><strong><em>Small Batch Roasted</em>.</strong> Cafes, drive thrus and chains, oh my! They&#39;re everywhere you go, on every corner and in every plaza and grocery store. So why choose Bones Coffee over something you can just run out and grab? Well, first - your wallet. With ever increasing prices, you pay handsomely for convenience... a large latte in the US averages about $4! But, <em>MOST IMPORTANTLY</em>, the quality of&nbsp;<span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDYNHHnubhs&t=2s" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>the small batch process</em></a></span> should be the most compelling reason.

Our carefully crafted process is intended to give you a superior and memorable experience each and every time you open a bag of Bones.</p><p><strong><em>Authentic Flavor</em>.</strong> In order to achieve authentic and consistent flavor, special attention needs to be given to each and every bean, which is why the small batch process takes time and vigilance. The quality and care that we take will be evident in the color and appearance of our beans, but most importantly, in the flavor and aroma. Whether you&#39;re ordering from our&nbsp;Single Origins line or trying&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/products/bones-coffee-company-dark-roast?_pos=1&_sid=2fcbdb68d&_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dark Roast</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/products/bones-coffee-company-espresso?_pos=1&_sid=df53908cb&_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Espresso</a>, <a href="https://www.bonescoffee.com/products/bones-coffee-companys-high-voltage-2x-caffeine?_pos=2&_sid=512da7870&_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">High Voltage</a> or any of our 30+ flavors, you&#39;ll be able to taste the Bones difference.</p><p><em><strong>Bones Coffee Company</strong>&nbsp;</em>strives to make all of your coffee experiences perfect &amp; memorable.
