Do you guys ever make youtube video's when you're roasting your
own coffee? I'd love to see some methods and setups, etc..

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Usually it's "plain ole" but I have been enjoying Cafe Godiva Caramel Arabica for my noontime cup. I'd recommend it, however must warn it will make your kitchen smell like Willkie Wonkas' house... Not necessarily sweet if you drink it black, though.

BSB	02-07-2013 10:45 AM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Um, to me, flavored coffees are like flavored cigars. No more need be said. Well, they both smell pretty good, I guess ;)

You oughta seek out some fresh roast, just to find out what you are missing. Coffee is the most complex food on the planet. Properly prepared, it is an incredible experience. Not really expensive, when compared to the cost of a premium cigar, you can get a pound, for about the cost of 1 or 2.

The Guate, with 2, very nice. I love the way the brightness dims and the body increases, as the coffee rests :cf2

Mr B	02-08-2013 10:32 AM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Ethiopia Grade 1 Dry Process Yirga Cheffe Kochere at Full City + / Almost Vienna.
Very tasty. Lost of Blueberries. Syrupy mouthfeel. This one is great on the darker side.

BSB	02-11-2013 09:01 AM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

The end of the Guate, with 5, had to add a few grams of monkey blend to have enough. Pretty good cup. Roasting in a bit, some Nicaraguan, I think.

Mr B	02-11-2013 11:59 AM

Not much of a blender, that one sounds good.

Mr B	02-12-2013 10:12 AM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Today is Nicaragua Finca Maria Miguel Angel Martinez at Full City. Very nice bean. Lots of caramel with the right amount of citrus to make a juicy mouth feel.

BSB	02-12-2013 10:59 AM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

New coffee! Nicaragua FTO Rio Coco :cf1 Roasted 22 hours ago to FC, drip, Silk. Nice, fairly mild, smooth, good chocolate. From Burman

Mr B	02-12-2013 03:27 PM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Funny because I always held back on ordering beans from Nicaragua for the longest time. I dont know why, but I did. Then last year I got a free lb form S.M. and really liked it. Since then I have ordered a few different kinds and liked them all.

I see. I HAVE gotten those kind of deals from them, too. I guess I figured they weren't really free, just figured into the cost of the product.

Ya, me too. But I received beans that I would normally not have purchased, so it worked out great.

True dat!
I bought a BUNCH of different beans, from Burman, before Christmas. They were damn near giving them away. Got some I wouldn't have otherwise tried. The Nic today is one of them.

BSB	02-14-2013 08:25 AM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

The Nic Coco, with 3, has turned caramelly in both aroma and flavor, very nice!

Mr B	02-15-2013 12:04 PM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Having the Nicaragua Finca Maria Miguel Angel Martinez at FC again. What a great cup. Sweet Caramel and lite baking spices.

BSB	02-15-2013 12:39 PM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

A FC+ Monkey Blend :cf1 roasted 3 days ago, very nice

BSB	02-18-2013 10:04 AM

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

New coffee! Costa Rica La Pastora :cf1 roasted yesterday to FC+, drip, Silk. Bright, smooth, citrus, good cup. Looking forward to this one as it rests and settles down.
