New coffee! Rwanda Nyamasheke Karengera :cf1 Nice cup, great mouthfeel, interesting sweetness, I like it! -(P

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Burundi from Gacokwe station. American roast. I've been drinking almost nothing else for weeks now. Perfect blend of bright acidity and smoothness.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

CounterCulture's El Gavilan as a pourover or press; Toscano as an espresso. The Gavilan is nice and clean, with light, pure flavors, and is excellent iced. The Toscano is a lovely sweet Snickers bar of caramel, nuts and chocolate, good in milk or as a straight shot. Both very nice with a cigar.

New coffee! Brazil Fazenda Rainha :cf1 Roasted 36 hours ago to FC, drip, dollop. Smooth, sweet, nice mouthfeel, mild acidity. A very nice Brazilian, from Klatch.

Very nice cup. Sourdough Toast w/ butter & Honey w/ a slight citrus.
I like this one alot. too bad there was a 1lb limit and now its gone.
:(

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ain't that the way it is? Sucks!
New Coffee! FT Rwanda Cafe Femenino :cf1 Roasted 2 days ago to FC, drip, Silk and then dollop in 2nd cup. Pretty nice, smooth and mild, with a mouthfeel that improves as the cup cools. Frm Klatch, produced by all female farmers.

Bodhi Leaf Rwandan!

Nice smooth and oh so tasty! :dr

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

This morning was Kenya Nyeri AA Gotomboya at FC.
It was reccomended for City to FC but it seems like I prefer these Kenyans at FC+. This was real good but not great. It improved very much as it cooled.
The last 2 Kenyans I did at city+ & FC tasted a littl grassy.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Not buying any Kenyans. The "trendy" coffee, overpriced, overhyped. And, I don't care much for them :tf

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Iced caramel while at Chocolate World in Hershey.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Colombia Guterriez micro lot :cf1 AWESOME cup! Smooth, sweet, with hints of maple. This is, for sure, a favorite. -(P

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Charbucks Sumatra. Haters gonna hate, but I love it. Tough to beat for $5.50/ 12oz.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I dont know about "trendy". I had no idea :confused:

The 2 varieties I got last season were excelent. This year they seem a little "green" taste to them. Still pretty decent though. It seemed better today w/ 5 days rest.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Tough to beat?? I just got Sumatra Lake Toba 19+ Ulos for $6.56 a pound, I'll fresh roast it and it will be so good as to be uncompareable to that sludge you are drinking :eek: ;)

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I am cold brewing a pot of Peru Andes Reserve.
I had a FP cup this morning, pretty tasty.

Anybody ever try cold brewing?

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Nope. What is it? Just cold water instead of hot?

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Basically you brew coffee with time instead of heat. It takes anywhere from 12-24 hours at room temperature to steep. You steep the ground coffee with room temperature water. There are many different techniques and recipes, but the one I am trying is after the steep you filter and mix with water (or milk) 1:1, pour over ice and enjoy. This is reported to be the only way to make amazing iced coffee. I have some steeping now, I will update tomorrow!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I make cold press by the gallon, awesome. Great flavor, no acidity.
El Salvador El Carrizal Roasted 2 days ago to FC, drip, Silk. Very nice cup, "like chocolate covered in cherries." Should be better tomorrow, with a little more rest to settle the brightness.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

What equipment do you use to make a gallon? How much grinds? I suppose I could make this in a gallon jug but how much grinds to use?

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Costa Rica Finca Bella Vista at City+.
Love this one. Very Juicy with lite baking spices and coco.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Nice clean 5 gallon bucket. I use 1 pound of coffee, 1 and 1/2 gal water, let it steep overnight. Strain thru a gold filter. Keep in the fridge, in a gal jug. I don't work real hard to get all the liquid out of the grounds. Too much work and sediment. There are those that say, a second filtration, thru paper makes this a better cup, but I don't have the patience to wait. It takes FOREVER to filter that much coffee thru paper.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Well I am only doing a french press now, I will work on going bigger if it is tasty :tu
It is nice to have you coffee vets around to give advice to use rooks!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I am drinking cold brew iced Peru Andes Reserve.
WOW, this is soo good and sweet and smooth. I added some milk instead of water and tried it with and without some sugar. This is soo flavorful! Now to scale it up, went and purchased a gold filter and container last night.

Here is the filter: http://www.mrcoffeestore.com/product...C&kw={keyword}

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Having a mug of 80% Burundi at City+ and 20% kenya at Full City.
Very good blend.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

That is perfect!
The El Salvador, with 3, AWESOME!!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

This morning was El Salvador Majahual Tablon La Montana at City+.
This is such a great bean when kept below the Full city+ mark. Great citrus twang with graham cracker notes.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Just opened a box of Tully's "French Roast" K-Cups for my Keurig this morning. :)

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Papua New Guinea Baroida Estate at Full City+.
Nice hints of Coco and Rasin/Prune. Just a hint of citrus left at this roast level.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Still on this cold brew iced coffee kick, Theta Ridge Sweet Blue

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Had a cup of some good "Army coffee" this morning. For those that don't know that that is...you can drink it and clean your weapon with it. I'm WIDE awake now.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

And you can freeze it in winter and ice skate on it and then melt it in summer and drink it! :tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Sweet quote. Beerfest!

I've been jonesing on the Brazilian coffee they serve at the hotel and plant here in SP. I"m guessing not quite near Army coffee standards, but close.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Sweet Marias French Roast Blend at FC++/Vienna. Very nice mellow roast. I let this one rest for at least 4 days.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Guatamala Bourbon Finca San Diego Buena Vista at City +.

This is a great bean roasted lightly. Nice Citrus, buttered toast with honey and light coco. Slightly fruity.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Bought two 1/2lb bags from my local roaster, Cool Beans. Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and Costa Rican Tres Rios. I have been enjoying them both this week.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

My Sonoma Sunrise Blend
75% Papua New Guinea Baroida Estate at FC+

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ethiopia Grade 1 Chelelektu Yirga Cheffe at City +.
Very juicy cup. Hint of lemon, citrus and nuts. Very enjoyable. Not much berry flavor in this cup. Roasted 2 days ago.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Colombia "Dos Payasos de Tolima at FC+. w/ 3 days.
Nice deep earthy falvors with a slight nuttyness and some light baking spices.
The last few Colombian's I have roasted, tasted better after 4-5 days. Will have this one again in a couple.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ethiopia Grade 1 Chelelektu Yirga Cheffe at city +.
This one has 5 days on it now and is excelent!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Yemen Mokha Sharasi roasted 3 days ago to FC+, excellent, smooth, sweet, chocolate, spice. Very clean.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

One is nearly as bad as the other and I'm not telling which :gl
