I've had a full french press of Unclebeanz Negrita (again) along with some nespresso made Ethopian Yirgacheffe. I'm going to turn into the great Cornholio soon.

I think, their specialty drinks, can be okay. Honestly, I don't really know. But, as for real coffee :pu

Exactly my thoughts. The regular coffee is terrible, even McDonalds is better. But they do make some good specialty stuff.

How does one make good specialty stuff with the exact same beans/coffee if their regular stuff is crap?

The specialty stuff hides/masks the quality of the bean with other flavors.

Yup, load it up with sugar, flavors, foamed milk, whipped cream, and all that.

I received some fresh roasted Unclebeanz Negrita roasted the week before Xmas.
Generally speaking, I find the fresh roasts to be not nearly full-bodied enough for my tastes.

However, this coffee is da bomb. Rich and full-bodied. Much more suited to my tastes. Props to Duane (forgop) for sending some my way.

Oh. I almost forgot. 95% of the time I drink my coffee black. No cream. No sugar. No nothin'.

That is the only way I drink "Coffee". :tu

I had some from Duane, it makes a good espresso as well.

Thank you.

Hey Peter, so it's probably not the "fresh roasts" that you are finding not nearly Full-Bodied enough. You just like a darker roast level. Probably upwards of Full City +. More like Vienna or French roast.

You are probably right. But I have had darker roast levels that still seem light to me.

Thanks for the tip. I'll remember it when others are roasting for me.

The roasted Negrita I got from Unclebeanz is a little lighter than anything I typically roast at home. That said, I did find it to be great stuff. I'll probably take it to FC+ the first batch I roast. I have 10# of green on hand and another 15# of Negrita and 5# of the Green Beso Espresso on the way. :D
