Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Whatever was brewing at the Hilton Gardens Inn near my house this morning. (When friends or family come to town, for some reason they expect me to know about local lodging. So, I take a look around. Sampling the coffee is part of my ten point inspection program. No, I'm not Bacon Brian, I don't raid the breakfast bar.)

The coffee was surprisingly good, but the parking garage was poorly lit and had almost no cameras. Not a fan of that.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Found a new local spot that roasts in-house and pulls a great shot.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Earlier it was United Dairy Farmers Jacked Up Java. Went good with the cigar I was smoking at the time.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

A bag from a local roaster and two more that came in the mail... I should be set for a bit lolol!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

An Americano made from espresso brewed on my Rancilio Silvia with Bolivian beans I roasted this morning. Did not allow time to degas after roasting, but was out of beans. The wife drinks the Keurig stuff.

Everything I have had from them has been great! For me this coffee was no exception - I fond it to have great balance and didn't have to adjust anything for it at all.

Let me know what you think when you brew some!

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Kenya AA, I get my green coffee beans from Sweet Maria's and then roast them here at home.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

United Dairy Farmers Original blend.

That one was quite good!

I get more of the fruity notes in some light roasted beans that I get - a lot of it comes as a general brightness for me too.

Bill, do you drink your coffee black?

This is my flavor profile as of lately. I do my own roasting and am having a hard time finding this sweet zone though.

Yes. The coffees I drink are quite flavorful without overpowering or excessively bitter like I find with dark roasted beans.

Nice! I haven't roasted in years - wish I had time to go back and do it again!

I sold my roaster a while back. I do miss it. But like most things with me, I was cyclical.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?

brewing in the GE Café brewer at 205deg 80g of grounds 10c of water, Revel’s Colombia Washed Nitro Caturra. Frozen 10 days after roast and 4 days out of the freezer.

First sip right out of the carafe was a berry bomb!

Then I burnt my tongue testing a chimichurri dip for dinner tonight :mad3:

Second pour after it has cooled a bit in my glass, maybe the power of suggestion, but watermelon jolly rancher.

I had a bag from them previously this year, completely forgettable an Ethiopia Yirga Cheffee, that had my expectations really, really low for this. But this bag is a stunner.

The description on their website suggest this for espresso, but I would hate wasting any of this bean trying to dial it in.
