Day 6 for the El Salvador Majahual -Tablon La Montana and it's starting to decline. Still good, but probably best on days 4 and 5.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I just asked this recently too. With 4 days of rest since roasting.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Some El Salvador from a local roaster. Question, can the roasting flavor intensify the longer the beans sit? I've had this batch for about a month. Maybe it's because I've been drinking the lighter roasts I've made, but this ES tastes over roasted. Never noticed it before when fresh.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Interesting question. I NEVER keep coffee this long. It makes sense though. As coffee gets older, the varietal characteristics diminish. I don't know that roast flavors would intesify, but seems like they would certainly dominate.

New coffee! Guatemala Genuine Antigua Covadonga :cf1 Roasted 2 days ago to FC, drip, Silk creamer and 1/2 & 1/2 (2 cups :D). Decent cup but it's not blowing me away like some other recent ones have. Maybe a tad too dark, funny, it looks darker than where I stopped the roast, a couple snaps into 2nd.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Some great Nicaraguan we got a bomb/gift from Mark yesterday. Roasted on the 1st. Very nice flavors. Thanks again Mark!!!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

So how does the silk compare to the half and half? I can't imagine it tastes as good. I love me some good 'ol fashioned fattening dairy.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

with 3, a much nicer coffee -(P

Some of this^ from shane david aka Blak Smyth. Great stuff. You are gonna make a coffee drinker out of me.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

It is a non "flavored" silk. It is not like the regular Vanilla Silk that I drink instead of milk. It tastes just like 1/2 & 1/2. Just as thick and creamy too. Give it a try. Its the one in the red label.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Okay I will give it a shot.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

New coffee! Colombia Finca Buenavista - Carlos Imbachi Roasted 2 days ago to city+, drip, Silk. :cf1 WOW! Ultra smooth, super sweet, very nice cup. From SM -(P

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

The Colombia, with 3, EXCELLENT!! Deeper, richer and still very sweet. I'm giving this a Highly Reccommended! I don't know if SM has it any more.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

brewed up some Three Africans coffee this morning at work courtesy of Big Pete in the newb Sampler trade. good stuff and all the guys at worked loved it to.

Hey Mark, glad you could check it out, not our regular Pastor. Try next week for the worship, first 40 mins. We have an incredible worship team, with Jon Eagan (Desperation Band) and Jared Anderson as 2 of our leaders.
What? Coffee? Oh yeah, right :D
Colombia Gutierrez microlot :cf1 Roasted 2 days ago to city+, FC+ (1/2 & 1/2), drip, Silk. Pretty good, plenty bright, think it will be better tomorrow. No maple to speak of.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Colombia was WAY better today, with hints of Maple

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Last of the Colombia, pretty good. I think I'll go for an all darker roast next time. Something different tomorrow.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Last night I made a cappucino from the Monkey Blend I roasted on Saturday. Wow! That was excellent. Going to have to roast some more tonight so I can have some for the weekend.

Drinking the Brazilian No-Name-O right now. As it cools it gets better and better. Less of the roasty flavor, now some bittersweet chocolate coming through.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Panama Elida Natural - Elida Reserve :cf1 Roasted 2 days ago to half city+, half FC+, drip, Silk. RUM! The beautiful flavor of light rum. I love this coffee, wish I woulda bought more. Only enough left for 1 more batch.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Last night I went to town on some of CoreyD's Maui Moka, but today I'm just drinking Kirkland Signature (Costco) Columbian Supremo. For a mainstream retail coffee this stuff is surprisingly good.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

French pressed some monkey mix before heading out to 9AM service. Please join me online, it is an awesome service at 9 and 11AM mountain time. http://www.newlifechurch.org/nlclive.jsp

Starbuck's blond veranda,french press................

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Guatemalia Acatanengo - FC, 36 hours rest. Very decent cup of coffee. Again the flavors become more to my liking as the cup cools. I'll have to see with a little bit more rest on it.

One question and I think I know the answer. What makes a cup of coffee have a "chalky" mouthfeel? Is it just the newness of the roast? I got that from this cup and happened to be on SM's site last night and saw that referred to for a different bean. Figured it would appy here.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Just finished up a Thermos full of Community Lousiana Blend French Press.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

El Salvador Tablon La Montana. at Full City
Great cup, even with a week on it. The 3-4 people I have given it to loved it also.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Guatamala Antigua

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ethiopia Illubabor Hana Bosoke I sh*t you NOT! :cf1 Roasted 60 hours ago to FC+, drip, splash. Very nice, not complex, plenty of cocoa and some mild fruit (which SM decribes as baked peaches). I think a shade lighter next time. Supposed to be a good SO espresso, I'll send a pound to my Brother, too.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Guatamala Bourbon Finca San Diego Buena Vista at FC+.
Nice notes of Caramel and Vanilla w/ a very mild baking spice.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

New coffee! Brazil Fazenda Santa Mariana :cf1 Roasted 2 days ago to just FC, drip, Silk. Sweet and complex with surprising brightness, nice cup! From SM.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Costa Rica Finca San Fransisco with 3 used the FP like always.

(Slightly blended with Guatamala Antigua)

Can't wait to try the CRFSF tomorrow by itself.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I'm drinking the stuff that Weeze makes that gives me heartburn. The same stuff I drink every day. I really have to fix this. We need two coffee pots, or a his and hers.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Enjoying some Sumatra Lintong Tano Batak I roasted two days ago. Very unique coffee, nothing like anything I've tried before. SM's was right on their tasting notes, spicy, malty, syrupy.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Costa Rica Finca San Fransisco with 4

Mild florals, pretty damn tasty!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ethiopian Tchembe Roasted it just past the 1st crack. Coco and bananas. What a way to start the day.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

The Brazil, with 3, EXCELLENT! Winner :cf1

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Hmm...where'd you get that? Sounds good.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Tried some of the SM's Liquid Amber blend this evening. Not bad but I think I need to roast darker. Had an off sour taste. I'll make adjustments on the next roast.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I got it from my uncle. Uncle Beanz :)

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

The Brazil, with 4, excellent, great mouthfeel, nice, sweet flavor. Highly recommended!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

New coffee! Sumatra Lintong Tano Batak :cf1 Roasted 2 days ago to just FC, drip, Silk. Tried for city+ but even though I stopped just at the 1st sign of 2nd crack, it came out darker than I liked. Still, EXCELLENT! Complex, sweet, loaded with that funky earthiness of a good Sumatran. I'm liking this one a LOT :D

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

So you experienced the same thing with this Sumatran as I did. It darkens pretty quick. I"m still on the fence with this one. That funky earthiness to make smells/tastes like raw green bell peppers.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Roasted on 04/01/2012, but cupping better today than on Thursday:tu
I usually don't let it rest this long but I took Friday off and left it at the office.
