Blends that Work

[floydpink]

Funny you mention monkey mix, as Sweet Marias Monkey blend is one of my favorite blends.

At this stage, I leave the blending to the pros, but try to take note of what I am roasting.

For example, I tend to roast my beans into second crack and find that blends with Brazilian beans don't do so well with the darker roasts and get an ashy taste.

I can't remember the last time I bought single origin beans, but am a little odd I suppose as all my drinks involve frothed milk.

At some point, I plan on trying my hand at blending and imagine that, with a little trial and error, I will figure it out.
