A makes perfect sense!

Drinking the Espresso Workshop #21 -The Satpura Fold that I roasted on Sunday night. I see what they mean about the brightness. I roasted it to Full City and to what I think was the verge of 2nd crack, but can't really be sure since I didn't really hear it start 2nd crack. It's pretty decent, but I may try and go slightly farther next round.

El Salvador Finca La Montanita Bourbon
I love this stuff, wish I could still get it.

Are you using this for espresso?

It is in my cup today. Decent cup, but not blown away by it

Maybe with more rest.

Cool! I usually drip, sometimes press, so I never try these blends. Funny, because I buy 5 lb bags and roast and send to my Brother for his espresso making

It's certainly not the same as an actual espresso machine, but close enough for me.

The reason I got all the blends is because I ordered 2 4 bag samplers. One was espresso and the other single origin. So far, I've enjoyed the gneiss the most of the blends.

With 3, WOW! Now I know what you are talking about, awesome cup. The dry aroma, on the grind, was fantastic, knew it was gonna be good.

I had another cup this morning! What a great cup about a day past it's prime though, can't remember the roast date! Glad you liked it also, means I am not crazy.

At work, drinking Folgers, at least I'm the one who made it today so it isn't 3 spoonfuls of grounds for 12 cups.

BSB · 02-25-2012, 11:08 AM

El Sal, with 4, just fine, extra fine

Chainsaw13 · 02-26-2012, 08:08 AM

Just had a cup of the Mexican Chiapas I roasted yesterday. Very nice cup. Light body, which surprisingly held up well to my breakfast of a spicy lamb fritta. Actually had some flavors of cinnamon come out as I ate the fritta. Not a flavor associated with this bean, but I"m guessing it was due to the mix with the lamb/spices.

Now onto a cup of the Burundi I roasted yesterday. So far nothing that interesting. Will see as it cools.

Can't wait to try these tomorrow to see how well the extra day of rest does for them.

Charbucks Dark Sumatra. LOVE it.

Blue Bottle - Three Africans roast

Chainsaw13 · 02-27-2012, 06:55 AM

More of the Mexican Chiapas, now with 2 days rest. I really like this coffee. I wish it had a bit more body, then it would be perfect. But for my first ever roast I'm impressed.

Congrats brother, there is something very satisfying about drinking your own roasts!

I am drinking Black Market Espresso that ApexAZ sent me!
