COFFEE: What are you drinking?

[pnoon]

I received some fresh roasted Unclebeanz Negrita roasted the week before Xmas.
Generally speaking, I find the fresh roasts to be not nearly full-bodied enough for my tastes.

However, this coffee is da bomb. Rich and full-bodied. Much more suited to my tastes. Props to Duane (forgop) for sending some my way.

Oh. I almost forgot. 95% of the time I drink my coffee black. No cream. No sugar. No nothin'.

That is the only way I drink "Coffee".

I had some from Duane, it makes a good espresso as well.

Hey Peter, so it's probably not the "fresh roasts" that you are finding not nearly Full-Bodied enough. You just like a darker roast level. Probably upwards of Full City +. More like Vienna or French roast.

You are probably right. But I have had darker roast levels that still seem light to me.

Thanks for the tip. I'll remember it when others are roasting for me.

The roasted Negrita I got from Unclebeanz is a little lighter than anything I typically roast at home. That said, I did find it to be great stuff. I'll probably take it to FC+ the first batch I roast. I have 10# of green on hand and another 15# of Negrita and 5# of the Green Beso Espresso on the way.

From UB: One other tip....try letting it rest longer....put it away until next week. Then try it.
We just finished a perfect cup of Kenya AA. Love this bean!

When did you roast this Norman? I been pretty much drinking within 4-5 days for best flavor.

BSB...12/17 or 12/18. It does not need more rest, LOL.

Do you guys ever make youtube video's when you're roasting your
own coffee? I'd love to see some methods and setups, etc..
