New coffee! Costa Rica Finca Bella Vista roasted 2 days ago to FC, drip, dollop and splash. A very nice, bright, complex cup. Some rindy citrus, nice sweetness, tea and jasmine notes. A very good cup, I think I prefer this one with the splash of 2% from SM

I don't. My tummy likes it with a little white, to offset the acidity.

CR Finca BV, with 3, excellent Crazy thing about this coffee, there is a very strong nutty dry aroma, there is no nuttiness at all, in the cup.

A free cup from the D-fac. Its one of the best cups i have had in a while. I have been stuck in BMT where i only got to smell coffee. so its nice to be able to sit down and have a cup.

Still drinking the India Poabs Organic Seethargundu Estate. So far it has been one of my least favorites. I kind of overroasted it slightly, so next batch I will try something closer to full city.

Are you making Espresso out of it or coffee press?

I only press currently. This may sound dumb, but I would need an espresso machine to make espresso right?

New coffee! Colombia Tolima - Einar Ortiz Microlot Roasted 2 days ago to FC, drip, dollop. An excellent cup with great balance between bright and body, nice, lemony citrus, honey sweetness. I like this a LOT! 1 pound limit at SM, highly recommended!
This one is seriously better with 1/2&1/2 than 2%, go figure.

Papua New Guinea Baroida Estate at Full City+ w/ 3 days on it.
Very Tasty. This one is always so consistant. Thats why I got 10 lbs of it from my last 2 orders LOL.
Nice Cinnomin and Nutmeg with hints of Pear and light citrus.

YOW! That does sound good. I know I had it, i'll have to go back and check my notes. I don't remember being that impressed by it.
Oh well, to each their own

Its actually a very good base to blend other beans with (it plays well with others). Especially the juicy, fruity varieties (El Salvador, Costa Rica etc.)
