Kenya Grand Cru

[floydpink]

Since there's no commercial roast section (or I can't yet see one) I figured I'd toss my experience here.

I've become a fan of stopping by Whole Foods and watching the beans go round the roaster and sniffing the bins and deciding what I like, which seems to be the Guatamalan Antigua.

The guy behind the counter is a nice fellow who is starting to know me and told me to hold on, he was finishing up something I should try. It was Kenyan Grand Cru and was my fist purchase that was still warm.

This stuff is really good and best I can say is it's pretty full bodied without sounding too dumb.

I haven't ventured much further than Caribbean and South and Central American blends before this one, but am enjoying the heck out of it.

Not sure if it's a fluke, but I also needed to adjust my grinder a touch to get it to where this wasn't packing to tight on my normal tamp that I normally do.

I'm far from scientific, but feel this stuff really did better on the #6 where I was always using 3 or 4 before.

I am still learning a great deal after a year with the Gaggia and grinder, but at least get consistantly good shots at this point.
