El Salvador Majajual - Tablon La Montana. Roasted to light vienna on accident (still trying to dial in the popper roasting), but enjoy it very much. One of my favorites so far.

Two-tone Brazil, with 3, Excellent! Sweet and smooth and nutty, with good body and mouthfeel. I couldn't be happier with how this came out.

Mr B · 02-06-2012, 10:21 AM

Glad to hear that one worked out for you. I have alot of fun blending different roast levels and different beans too.

Ethiopia DP Sidama Aleta Wando at Full City. Just an awesome cup! Amazing Blueberries.

I was gonna do that one and decided on Gedeo Worka.

Mr B · 02-06-2012, 01:02 PM

Of the 4 different varieties I have had from S.M. only 1 of them has been "just ok" the others have been great. Love the blueberries.

MarkinAZ · 02-06-2012, 03:20 PM

A cup of Trader Joe' House Blend (Sumatra/Columbia)...

The Gedeo Worka is from Klatch. Described as a "bowl full of berries, plus cherry"

Mr B · 02-06-2012, 04:38 PM

Nice!

BSB · 02-06-2012, 04:50 PM

I'm hoping

cupping on Wed

Ethiopia Harar OCFCU (Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union) American roast. It's got that berry/winey thing going on like the best Harar does. And it's fair Trade. Gotta like that.

BSB · 02-08-2012, 09:47 AM

Ethiopia Gedeo Worka

roasted 2 days ago to city+, drip, splash, then dollop, then a pinch of sugar

I confess! The coffee just wasn't doing it this morning, so I added just a pinch of sugar and BAM!

Like I poured cherry brandy into my cup, just AWESOME!
I've gotten the brandy before, but not from this coffee, from an ES Elida Natural, and this is even more pronounced.
From Klatch and still available, I believe.

Chainsaw13 · 02-08-2012, 12:18 PM

El Savador Nazareth, from a local roaster.

BSB · 02-09-2012, 08:36 AM

Ethiopia GW, with 3, no sugar needed today, cherry, berries, hints of brandy, all there. Excellent cup!

Ethiopia DP Sidama Aleta Wando at Full City. One of my Fav's

Espresso Monkey Blend, this is the best smelling bean I have roasted. It drinks very well also. I recommend this blend. The only issue is it doesn't roast perfectly even but it still drinks well.

Blak Smyth · 02-10-2012, 07:53 AM

Making another press now! Really good!

smitty81 · 02-10-2012, 08:50 AM

I got a bag of Jamaican Blue Mountian brought back from Jamaica. I should grind some up soon.

Different beans in the blend will roast differently, cause the "uneven" roast I inquired with Klatch, why their blends were not available green and was informed that theirs are blended post roast.

The sooner you drink it, the better it should be. Coffee gets stale. I rarely drink coffee more than a week old.
The Ethiopia GW, with 4, is excellent. All the wonderful flavors, more body and richness. Good cup!

BSB · 02-10-2012, 09:15 AM

I am not pleased, when a SO doesn't roast even.
Almost all of that wonderful brandy flavor has diminished in the GW

Still an excellent cup, but that brandy was very nice. Such a rare treat.
And it was rum, not brandy in the ES Elida natural, which was a very rare treat. Might have to roast up a batch of that next. Just roasted yesterday, so Sun.
