Not to bad...like I said Just getting started in the blending route. I'm gonna drop down on the Colombian by 2oz and raise the Eth up the same amount. Then I might drop the Colombian out altogether....it is such a great single origin coffee. Just had the same blend above in a french press....doesn't work....so I'll save it for the Moka Pot.

I have never tried a Sumatra Peaberry....I'll ask when I go buy more beans.

This morning was Sumatra Tarbarita Peaberry. Full City + / Vienna. Very tasty with a spicy-smokey flavor.

Mr B · 09-22-2011, 05:11 PM

Today was Sumatra Dry_Hulled Aceh Bukit. Full City + / Vienna. Very tasty. Got even better as it cooled.

You seem to have a perchance for Sumatran coffee.....is that all you drink?

My favorite is Colombian....and easy to roast, and very forgiving if roasted too long.

I had to repair my SCCO(Stir Crazy Convection Oven) yesterday, really just some modifications to how the temp probe is held into the beans. I might be picking up a Fresh Roast SR-500 next month, just to have another roaster on hand. Not really happy with the temp control on the SCCO also. Got damaged in a move.

Nope, I like all kinds. I just happened to have roasted 2 Sumatran varieties last weekend and also some Ethiopian Dry-Process Yirgga Cheffe that I am having this morning. This one has been great. Amazing Blueberry notes.

OOoohh That sounds yummy. I have some of that Ethiopian.
You make me want to get out my SOCO and roast some. But that thing not as convenient as a Fresh Roast SR-500 will be.
What roaster do you use?

And also how long do you let the coffee out-gas before brewing? I am still very much an amateur roaster....always want to know more about it.

Folgers Black Silk. Oh yeah!! I am too cheap to buy the good stuff (too many options and I do not want to buy something I will not like) and know nothing about roasting my own.

A new espresso roast:

50% Brazil Sweet Yellow Bourbon, 30% Monsonned Malabar, 10% Harrar, 10% Aged Zambian.

Nice!

Take a look at some of the Home Roasting websites. There are a huge variety of Green Coffee Beans available and those mentioned above are just a few. Check out Sweet Marias. Very informative site.

I picked up some green Haitian a few days ago.
Very pleased, sorta like JBM.

I really like Folgers "French Vanilla", but I can only find it in the smaller containers where they have their other flavors in bigger ones. It is really good though. Have never been that much into coffee until recently so I haven't tried much more.

I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread, but my favorite has been Stewards Private Blend. It comes pre-ground for drip, which turns some people off I know, but it's smooth and not terribly acidic.

Savor the Stick · 11-08-2011, 01:39 PM

I am having a cup of Ethiopian Yagga Cheffe 18 hrs out of the roaster..... Oh my!

Mr B · 11-08-2011, 03:16 PM

Love me some Yirga Cheffe.

Latte made with Illy dark roast - I had to try it. I don't think that I'll buy any more of it.
