Technically speaking, there is no such thing as 'Finnish coffee'. Just as there is no such thing as 'Italian coffee or French coffee'. Even though we see words like 'Italian' roast or 'French' roast on bags of coffee, coffee trees will actually die in cold weather.
Coffee trees will only flourish in warm weather climates which is why we see the names of countries like 'Columbia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Costa Rica...' on bags of coffee. It stays warm year-round in these regions.

Ohhh wow... thanks, 79. Best compliment I've had in a while. Surprisingly enough, many of the coffee review channels on YouTube right now are rather dull. lol... reviewing coffee and making it entertaining is perhaps just too difficult a task. Some of the people that review beers are quite good though.
I would probably be better at writing a review on coffee rather than a live review. There are times when you get a coffee that is so complex you just can't come up with the right words to describe it.
It happened to me not too long when I tried a Costa Rican coffee (La Pira Natural) from one of my local roasters. The roaster describes it as having notes of cherry, peach and spiced rum, and yes, this is perhaps a good description, I swear its so complex that you could say just about anything and it would fit. lol. Great brew. Although, the flavors really shine when you make it with a moka pot rather than a pour-over.
Have you tried any good ones lately?

 I suppose that can be said of most things - a majority of the youtube entries are rather bland, or not terribly informative, but every once in a while, you find a gem. The epicurious coffee guy is OK, but in one of his videos, he tasted some extremely rare Japanese coffee that sounded amazing. If I remember, I'll find that video again and post it here. I'll give that one you posted a look. I usually get my coffee from a wholesaler in Long Beach, NY. I pop down once a week and grab whatever they have that's fresh. They always have single origin stuff. The last one I got was called "Nicagaragua Prodecoop," and while I have no idea what that means, it was a medium/dark roast with apple and dark chocolate notes. It's as smooth as the night is long, but I always use a pour over. Good stuff man!

Interesting read, and very true. Usually the higher the elevation the better it will taste.
In addition to this, right now, one of the most sought after varieties of Arabica beans of the coffee aficionado is Geisha. They can be quite pricey though. I've seen it go for $300 for one pound, it's not usually this expensive but it can be. I've only had the pleasure of trying one Geisha and while it was VERY good, I just don't think it's leaps and bounds better than the other varieties. But I would say it's worth trying at least once.

That 'Prodescoop' is a coffee co-op. I've never tried anything from them, that I know of. But many farmers are now creating co-ops where they help each other with growing, processing, selling etc..
Some produce better coffees than others but that sounds like a good one. I really enjoy that apple taste you sometimes get in quality coffees.
And I'm sure I've said this before but I highly recommend moka-pot or aeropress. French press is another great way to make coffee but moka-pot always seems to pull out so many flavors in coffee. It's crazy... but pour-over is good too, and easier to clean for sure. lol
But anyhow, it basically mimics what an espresso machine does. Which is the "pressure method" of making coffee.
However, I believe moka-pot also pulls more caffeine out of the coffee too. So, if you're watching your caffeine intake, go easy on it.

79, I forgot to mention one other thing. One of my local coffeehouses serves coffee from a NY roaster called Parlor Coffee Roasters. Their stuff is really good. Had their Peruvian (Peru San Pedro) and their Kenyan (Karindundu) not too long ago, both amazing cups. In addition to mail order, I think they have a coffee house in NY. Check it out sometime if you get a chance.
