Nicaragua Dipilto Cielo Azul at City+. Very nice cup. Tastes of Butterd Sourdough Toast w/ Honey and Nuts.

JFG Special Blend.
It's nothing fancy but its from my home town so its got plenty of good memories!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Another cup of Jose's vanilla nut.. I don't have much time to roast my own, or I'd think about it. I have to say, for the price, the Jose's brands of coffee have never let me down!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I had the last of a batch of SM's Monkey Blend this morning. Makes a pretty decent regular cup. Roasted off half a lb of Burundi that'll get sampled tomorrow.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I've been loving the Burundi's, Great at City + to FC.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

City + was what I roasted it too. Looking forward to it.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Going to start lurking here to get ideas

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Nothing fancy. I've been on a Cafe Bustelo kick for the last couple of months. Stuff taste great through a 1 cup Melita or packed in to an Espresso maker. And, its only $3.68 or $3.78 at one of the big box stores...

Lurker...:D;)

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Just bought a sampler of green beans.
Roasted some Papuan yesterday and its awesome today
in the cup.

Is that a shaving mug? :r
What is the deal with that flap?:confused:

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

That is a mustache protector! I think :confused:

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Winner winner!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Shane is lacking in the facial hair department so he never has to worry -(P
What a guess! cool looking cup too :tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Agh that is funny!

Folgers Special Roast. :cf1

Joblessness has lead to parsimoniousness. :tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ethiopia Dry Processed Grade 1 Aricha :cf2 roasted 12 hours before to city+, drip, Silk. Pretty good, but I think it will be better in the Coffee Kinetics roaster, so I did a 4 pot batch tonight.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

The Aricha is better, but I think I got it too light. Ah, the joys of home roasting.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Starbucks Sumatra.

Peruvian Caramel Capp and a Macchiato in my new Rocket cups

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Those look good Shane. Wish I could justify getting a machine.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ethiopian coffees for me always need about 36 hours of rest before they start tasting good.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I was blown away by an Ethiopian coffee, a couple weeks back, that was about 4 hours out of the roaster :jd Started doing 12 hour rests.
I hope this comes around, actually, it's starting to already. I'm just not much of a city-city+ guy. I like it FC-FC+.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

The Aricha, with 36 hours, drip, Silk. Ultra smooth, mild, some sweetness, good cup, but....I did roast this way too light. Thinking maybe I'll roast up a strong flavored Sumatra and blend. Then I would have 6 days worth though :sad

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

A blend of the Aricha and Sumatra Toba Batak peaberry :cf1 roasted 22 hours ago to FC+, drip, Silk. A nice Mokha Java type blend, smooth, some sweetness, earthy funkiness.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

An awesome Sumatra Toba Batak peaberry :cf1 roasted 72 hours ago to FC+, drip, Silk. Smooth, sweet, funky, earthy.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Army Coffee, AKA Used Motor Oil/ burnt TAR... Man i miss my coffee pot.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Costa Rica Tarrazu Finca La Ortiga at City+.
Very good! Notes of Buttered Sourdough Toast w/ Honey and a slight citrus twang.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

A nice Mocha Java blend 70% Ethiopia 30% Sumatra. Smooth and sweet, nice berry flavor, and just a hint of earthy funkiness :cf1

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

That sounds so good Bob.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I mainly prefer SO, but the Ethiopian came out a bit light, so I thought I'd try some blending. It worked out pretty good. I am looking forward to roasting and trying a new SO, when these coffees are gone though.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ethiopinan Yirgacheffe.
Last few months have really gotten into coffee. Amazed how much variety is out there.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ain't that the truth. I LOVE it! And with places like Sweet Maria's, we can get coffee that literally no one else has tried.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Tanzania Peaberry

Picked up some JBM...but it's just not like it used to be.
It's much less 'special'...meaning it is a little washed out. sad.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Where did you get the JBM?

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Had some Tanzanian Peaberry espresso this weekend, had a tangy fruitiness that had a delightful linger. Not my preferred flavor profile but pretty enjoyable.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ethiopia Sidama Deri Kochoha at FC/FC+. Very Sweet and tasty. Not fruity like the Yirga Cheffe's (I do like that) but more coco and baking spice.
Very nice.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

That one sounds really nice. I will grab a couple lbs, next order.
Mocha Java again for me :cf2 40% Eth, 60% Sumatra, good cup.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Whatever jet fuel they're serving at the plant here in Argentina. Very similar to Brazilian style coffee. Very thick, almost syrupy.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Straight Sumatra Toba Batak Peaberry :cf1 roasted what? gotta be 5 1/2 days ago, at least, drip, Silk. It is a fine cup, earthy, funky, smooth, sweet. Classic!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I like the Sumatrans, but this years crop does not seem quite as good as the varities I got last year. :sh

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

This morning is a blend of 80% Costa Rica Tarrazu Finca La Ortiga at C+ and 20% Brazil Fazenda do Sertao Catuai at FC+.
Very tasty cup. Juicy citrus and Sourdough from the Costa Rica and some Milk Chocolate from the Brazil.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Maybe not quite as potent flavor.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ya, thats part of it. They seemed a little more sweet in the past, as well as a little more like Baking Spices and less earthy.
The 2-3 varieties this season were very earthy but not as "good-earthy" as last season. More "dirt taste" I guess.
Still good, but did not wow me.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Anyone else like browsing the GCBC? Have a 15# shipment enroute for 2 current offerings there and 10# of unclebeanz Negrita.

My last roast was some Bob O Link that I roasted til they were done with 2nd crack. They're quite dark and oily.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Most from SM have been very good, except the Onan Ganjang may have been a bit "dirty"

HOLY CRAP! Did you do it on purpose?
Can't go wrong with Norm's Negrtita.... unless you burn the sh*t outa it.

Would ya? lr

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I generally roast FC+ anyway and wanted to see how it would be going into French Roast territory. Looking a bit more into it, I may have hit Italian roast, so I will just toss it.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

NO! And I don't believe it either. I don't think you can grow coffee in Portland, even in a green house.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

FC+ is pretty much as dark as I go, usually just FC.
