And only made with a french press, that has WAY more flavor than a drip machine :)

Jamaican Blue Mountain

I use a Moccamaster Technivorm machine.

French Press to me is a pain and the coffee is not hot enough. But husband Matthew loves it.

Costa Rican Candelilla Gesha. A supreme bean simply makes a beautiful cup.

I have Bolivia Buenavista from Stumptown in my press today... Roasted on 2/12, so it is fairly fresh (for my standards) & I'm finding that the strong hit of chocolate to the nose transfers well to the cup. Good stuff!

No time to make decent coffee this morning... so I had to stop at Starbucks. I know, I'm sorry too.

In my defense I had worked a 16hr shift and then had 8hrs off to sleep and then head back in for another 12hr shift. So I didn't make time for coffee :(

I just broke out a bag of Peaberry Kona this morning...delicious would be an understatement. I wish it wasn't so expensive, because this is one of my favorite morning coffees around.

Wow! I passed on that because reccommended roast was city+. I'm not really doing anything much under FC. You roasted to Vienna and still got fruit? Amazing!
My own Mocha Java blend and a Yemen today, both fading. The Yemen was awesome yesterday.

I'm with you. I dont roast anything much under FC either. I prefer FC to Vienna. It seems like everyone I have given samples too (including myself) thought they only liked French Roast. Freshly roasted beans opened a whole new world.

I brewed the Colombian about 16 hours after roasting. That might have been what salvaged the fruityness. :sh

Hmmm, might be it. I sometime try after 24, but usually 48. I like fruity though.
End of the Yemen and a Monkey mix that made me go WOW! today.

This morning: El Salvador Molino de Santa Rita

This evening:
Panama Finca La Camiseta (day #2)

After grinding the Panama, the aroma took me back to the Summer of 1984 when I switched from drinking the commercial swill (MJB, et al) to grinding my own coffee beans. It was Mr. Sweeny at "Sweeny's" that pushed me into a 1/2 lb of fresh roasted beans from Panama and a Krups grinder. Sure do miss the Krups. It passed a few years back for a new Mr. Coffee grinder...

Sulawesi Toarco Jaya micro-lot done in a french roast. Unbelievable. This is the best french roast I've ever had. Notes of licorice - don't look at me like that it really does. My local roaster claims he picks up tobacco notes too. Not so sure but I do think it works really well with a good cigar.
