I’m reviewing Isabella’s Coffee, a Monero‑friendly company listed on Monerica.com under Businesses → Food and Drink. They accept Monero (XMR) directly. This is not an affiliate or sponsored review—just an objective look at the coffee and checkout experience.
Where to Find It
- Monerica directory: monerica.com → Businesses → Food & Drink
- Direct site: isabellas.coffee
Disclosure: Educational review only. Not financial, tax, or legal advice.
Quality & Testing
- Organic & Fair Trade beans, roasted in small batches.
- Tested for mold and mycotoxins—a priority for clean coffee and consistent taste.
Ordering with Monero
- Choose a coffee (I picked the Organic Signature House Blend / House Blend).
- Add to cart and enter shipping details.
- Select Monero (XMR) at checkout, pay, and wait for confirmations.
- Receive email confirmation; shipping (from the US) took about one week for this order.
Unboxing & First Impressions
The coffee arrived well‑packed. Beans looked uniform and freshly roasted. I compared them visually with Purity Coffee (another mold‑tested brand) and found color and quality similar.
Brewing Notes
- Grind just before brewing for maximum freshness.
- Use filtered water; pour‑over or French press both work well.
- Steep around 4 minutes (for immersion methods) before pouring.
- I avoid plastic/BPA in contact with hot water—use stainless steel or glass where possible.
Tasting
The Signature House Blend (medium roast) showed notes of chocolate and honey. It’s smooth, clean, and not overly bitter—great as a black coffee with an earthy, lighter profile and no burnt aftertaste.
Why Buy with Monero?
Paying with XMR helps build the Monero circular economy—turning Monero into daily essentials, not just a store of value. Supporting merchants that accept XMR encourages broader adoption.
Pros
- Accepts Monero directly.
- Organic, Fair Trade, small‑batch roasted.
- Mold/mycotoxin‑tested for a cleaner cup.
- Shipping from the US; my order arrived in ~1 week.
Cons
- International shipping may vary by region/cost.
- No in‑house lab report included in box (testing claims based on vendor info).
Bottom Line
Isabella’s Coffee delivered a clean, smooth medium roast and an easy Monero checkout. If you want organic, mold‑tested coffee while supporting the Monero economy, it’s a solid pick.
