nice new toy!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

:wo Very nice, Tyr. Sweet machine. You are right, too much foam ;)

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Colombia Tolima EG Micro with 3, very nice, lemony.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I showed a picture of this to a buddy of mine having issues of making chai tea himself cause he can't get the froth or to taste right, would something like this help making it. Reason I would suggest something like this is he makes esspressos and lattes as well so I said if it would work he'd corner all his tastes.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

The last of the Colombian, with 4, very smooth. Most of the lemony is gone.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Drinking the SM Monkey Espresso Blend roasted to FC+. I'm kind of indifferent about it.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Well it would work for the espresso and the latte but in order to make it work for the chai it would take a bit of tweaking. The machine uses the Nespresso capsule system and they don't sell chai tea. However, they do have fillable re-usable capsules that you can put anything in so it'd work for chai tea if he bought those.

I have loved both of my Nespresso machines and this is coming from a guy who used to grind his own beans and use a Gaggia espresso machine so that says something.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Guatamala Bourbon Finca San Diego Bella Vista at FC+. Very Nice.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Yeah, that's a good one. :tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

With the Silk Creamer (regular) and sugar it was like Hot Coco it was so chocolatly. Milk Chocolate.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Silk creamer? I may have to look for that one.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

This is the one I use.
http://silksoymilk.com/products/silk-creamer

It's not the regular Silk Drink. It's a creamer for coffee. Tastes just like 1/2 & 1/2 but much better for you. I think it tastes better than 1/2 & 1/2 personally. I use the Orignal (non flavored) one. I dont want to "change" the flavor of my coffee.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I always felt this way about it and my Brother didn't like it as espresso. I think the Moka Kadir Blend is WAY better :2

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I'll pick some up tomorrow. I use almond milk on my cereal. This may totally end dairy for me...except for yogurt :confused:

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

New coffee! Sumatra Bodhi Leaf Grade A Mandheling :cf2 Roasted 2 days ago to FC+, drip, splash and dollop (both good). Typical Sumatra, great body, funky earth as it cools. But it's really clean, very nice. Creamy vanilla with chocolate roast tones :cf1
From Klatch, recommended as a classic Sumatra.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I pretty much already have too. Just Yogurt and cheese. Cant live w/out my cheese :D

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Looked for it, they only had French vanilla :confused: I ain't buying that. I'll look elsewhere, after the weekend. I don't do shopping, on the weekends -(P

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

In some stores its in the Health Food Dept

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Bet I can find it at Whole Foods

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

More Monkey Blend today. It is getting better compared to my first cup. It must have needed more time to degas. Delicious!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Funny how that works. The Sumatra Bodhi Leaf, with 3, is WAY better than with 2. Deep and rich, fantastic body. Excellent cup!
Happy Saturday!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Pressed a cup of monkey blend before church.
Sumatra, with 4, after, is smooth and fine.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Nothing special as far as beans go, just Caribou french roast. But I got a new french press and the non-fancy beans taste way better out of this thing than they did from the coffee maker.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

That is an awesome press!!!


I am drinking El Salvador Finca La Montanita Bourbon and it is mighty tasty!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I'm really happy with it so far. At an insulated 64oz I can get 4 big cups of coffee and the second two are still hot when the wife and I get to them.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I have been pressing in my glass press and then poaring it into a thermos. Yesterday I grabbed a nice little travel press. I saw a nice big carafe at Ikea Saturday kind of like yours, I really wanted to grab it but the boss said not today.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

It is beautiful! But, doesn't the coffee tend to get bitter, sitting in there? Or, if you guys drink coffee like me, it doesn't sit long ;)
Try some Dunn Bros. coffee. Fresh roasted right in the stores.
I grew up in MN, did some canoe trips down the Crow, there were no houses along it back then :eek: only farms. Smoked my 1st cigars on those trips, Wolfe Bros. Rum Soaked Crooks -(P

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Mine doesn't last long but it does occasionally get cold fast if I leave it directly in my glass press.
I add it to a thermos just to keep it hot for the 15 or so minutes I take to drink it all.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

New coffee! Ethiopia Pulp Natural Process Limu :cf2 Roasted 2 days ago to FC, drip, dollop. Very nice cup, subdued fruit with very good body.
SM says, "City+ to FC+: A very unique cup that features both wet and dry process characteristics, fruited notes and good body, peach, mango, apricot, herbal notes."
Good cup, enjoying it. It's no fruit bomb, but the added body is a plus :cf1

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

When I do press, I put whatever is left, in the thermal carafe, of my Capresso coffee maker.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

:tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I am drinking El Salvador Finca La Montanita Bourbon again. I really like this one!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I got this one in the lineup, either on deck or in the hole -(P

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Roasted this morning.
Ethiopia Limu, with 3, deep, rich, fruit is rich wine, not complex but a solid cup. Tastes much darker roasted than it is :confused:

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Sounds tasty.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

:tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Just pressed a French Roast Blend I made. Roasted Saturday. All 3 beans roasted seperately.
1/3 Sumatra Tarbarita Peaberry
1/3 Ethiopia DP Sidama Aleta Wondo
1/3 El Salvador Majahual Tablon La Montana
Very nice even w/ only 3 days on it. Spicy Earth, Lightly fruited and a juicy mouthfeel.
Should even get better w/ another day or 2 on it.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Finishing up the Monkey blend today. Should be able to dip into the Satpura Fold espresso blend tomorrow.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

What did you think?
I thought it was good but I like the Moka Kadir Blend better (MKB is no longer available).

Damn, El Salvador Finca La Montanita Bourbon is no longer available either. That has been one I really enjoyed.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

It's pretty good, but nothing to write home about. I really liked the El Salvador Majahual -Tablon La Montana and can't wait to roast up some more. It has definitely made me curious about other El Salvador offerings and central American coffees in general. I think I need to be keeping a coffee journal like I do with cigars to track the coffees and their degrees of roast.

I still have like 4 lbs to consume, so I'm trying not to order more for now, but it's hard! WILLPOWER!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Drinking the last of my Moka Kadir!
I first tried to press some Starbucks Blonde that came with my travel press, horrible!
I tossed it and make the MKB!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Bye bye MKB =(

I was curious about the blonde too. Not so good then?

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Guatamala Acatenango Finca La Solidad at Full City w/ 4 days.
Very nice

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I took two sips and said WTF, oh yah that's why I roast my own! :tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Moka Kadir comes and goes. It will be back, when SM has the beans to blend it.
Ethiopia, with 4, totally different than with 2, but still very nice.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I've been meaning to ask what you mean when you say with 4, with 2, etc?

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Amout of "Days Rest"

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

A makes perfect sense!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

:xxx :hy
BTW, B, I found that Silk Creamer, at Whole Foods, as expected. It is excellent! Thanks for the tip :tu
