Extraordinary Cups for Coffee Lovers At Walt Disney World

For many years Disney fans, who were also coffee lovers, struggled with what was being served up all across the property. Over the past 5 years Disney has caught up with the coffee culture, and with the addition of both Starbucks and Joffery's Coffee to the corporate partners, guests can now find some delightful brews. While flavored lattes continue to be the rage, there are several resort restaurants serving up phenomenal pressed pots of fresh coffee that showcase the regional flavor of native beans down to the last drop.


Extraordinary Cups for Coffee Lovers


Kona Cafe at Disney's Polynesian Resort

The Kona Cafe was one of the first Disney restaurants that stepped up their game with a fabulous cup of joe. Hawaii is the only State in the U.S. that is commercially producing coffee, and the Kona Cafe' offers two different blends of the solid roasts. First, there is the regular 70/30 blend. This roast is kept on drip brew and is what's served when you simple order a cup of coffee. The second however, is a 100% Kona Blend that is only available in a french press pot. The press pot is usually considered to serve 2, and offers coffee drinkers a rich, dark, full bodied cup.

Boma at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

Next into the groove were the restaurants of Animal Kingdom Lodge with an opportunity to showcase beautiful African Coffees, my favorite being the morning brew at BOMA. The full-bodied Kenya AA from Joffery's comes straight from the northern slopes of Mt. Kenya and has bright and fruity flavor with high acidity. That combination makes it the perfect cup of coffee to pair with the deep rich flavors of BOMA's African inspired Buffett. While they offer a steady drip of this lovely roast, for an intriguing spin, order up a pressed pot for a deeper taste of the Flavors of Africa.

Trattoria al Forno at Disney's BoardWalk Inn and Villas

Our friends over at the Disney Food Blog tipped us off to a new and beautiful pressed pot of coffee at the BoardWalk's Trattoria al Forno. This Italian Style Blend that features an aroma of sweet berry and milk chocolate, which turns to a delightful citrus and dark berry flavor in the cup. The decadent brew has a long slightly tart finish. For those coffee lovers who want the most intense coffee experience, the Trattoria also serves up three different styles of gorgeous Italian Espressos.
