Such a great cup. Full of fruit and coco. I use sugar and Silk Creamer and this cup tastes like you are drinking the Chocolate covered Blueberries from CostCo.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Folgers. With milk and sugar. Thinking about trying some Cuban Coffee soon. Been reading about it today.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

They are about the same these days :eek: except Cuban is a LOT more expensive :D

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

The stuff I was reading about was an espresso-type of preparation, but adding sugar to the espresso puck before brewing.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

So a Cuban "type" of coffee preparation, as opposed to actual Cuban coffee beans. Sounds interesting. I don't do any espresso, so no comment, on putting sugar, in the puck :confused:

Today my Bondo Box was Bean Bombed by a Benevolent Mr B.
A light burning wood scent, with a trace of bent aluminum.

The contents say it's from the Bolivians or E.L.O. ( Ethiopian Liberation Organization ) ( Not the 70's rock group ) But I won't hear none of that ! This clever guise is Mr B's handwork I am sure !! Plus the return address is a van down by the river !

Thank You for the generous sampler ! The puffs will be enjoyed as well ! The only one of these I've ever had is the Tatuaje.
One or two of these are particularly interesting !
My wife wants to sample the coffees with me so I'll be cracking one of these beans tomorrow. Thanks Again !!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

No problem at all Brother. Enjoy!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Well done Mr B!
The Maui, with 3, very nice cup.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

A truly generous gesture, Mr. B.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Proud to report I enjoyed the Ethiopia DP Yirga Cheffe Kochere Friday. Tried it black, then added just a little half and half. Mr B is right, this coffee is absolutely fantastic. I was very frugal with it, and was able to enjoy some again Saturday. The toffee and citrus notes were perfect. Paired Saturday's with a Hoyo de Monterray cigar since Mr B's cigars were stabilizing . I told the wife I needed to treat myself like this more often. I'll be looking for this blend... ! Two more blends to try. Boy education sure is delicious :tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I thought of making Cuban Coffee as well but I am not a fan of that much sugar in anything.
Most Cubans use a Moka pot for this preperation and not machine made espresso.
The type I researched you put a ton of sugar into your cup, then ad a little moka espresso, stirring to make a thick mud.
Then top off with moka espresso and the mud creates a sweet and thick fake crema.

Came into the office this morning to make a nice cappuccino, went to the fringe and my milk was almost gone.
Somebody must have been using it for their own needs since I opened it yesterday and used exactly half so I would have enough for today.
I guess it's straight espresso today.

Nice hit on Micael Mr.B!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Via French Roast instant. This is about the strongest, smoothest Starbucks coffee I have ever tried. No burnt flavor or hint of bitterness. Truly enjoyable.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

New coffee! Ethiopia Sidama:cf1 Deri Kochoha Roasted 15 hours ago to just FC, drip, Silk. Not your typical Ethiopian, tea, lemon acidity, dk chocolate, floral notes. A really nice cup. About time I got around to this one, I've had it since mid Dec :jd

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I impulse bought a Breville Smart Grinder, because the price was too good to pass up (119.99). Sent the gf to Caribou to pick up a pound of beans (just let her pick, since I don't drink as much coffee as she does). But she decided to get Starbucks instead. Not a fan of any Starbucks product, but the grinder did an excellent job.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

WOW!! That's is a GREAT price :tu
Nicaragua Maracaturra Finca Los Granadillos, roasted to FC+, drip, Silk with 3 days rest, very nice cup, long, strong finish.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I have been roasting the Sweet Blue a hair further and it made all the difference in the espresso machine. I am drinking this bean everyday right now. Just ordered 10 more pounds and a couple pounds of Guat Decaf.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Oops I just realized I have been roasting Dattera espresso reserve, not the Dattera Sweet Blue:fp

Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee.. a very nice one.

Guatemala Volcan de Fuego Guacatepeque roasted 2 days ago to FC, cowboy style (boiled) Silk. A very nice cup.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Chelbessa from the press. Unsure of the roast level. Delicious.

Thanks, ironcheffscott. This is the first one I've tried. REALLY like it. :tu

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

It was from stumptown. Most likely a lighter roast.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
 

I love the grinder, but for my use, it does a less than desirable job for getting it coarse enough for cold brewing. The grounds are still just a bit too fine that it really plugs up the filter. It does great for the french press.

One of these days I'll get it dialed in on the grind needed for my Nespresso and Keurigs to use it for something other than the most coarse setting.
