What are you roasting today?

Can anyone recommend some coffee beans to try from Burman Coffee? Or another place?

My last order was from Burman, 5lbs of Brazilian Bob-O-Link and 5lbs of Indonesian Balinese. I see both are currently out of stock, but they have other varieties of each of those.

The half pound of Columbiam Supreme they sent wasn't too bad either.

How long does ten pounds last you?

Depends on if I get off my lazy butt and roast it up. Typically I can go through 12oz of beans in 7-10 days.

Burman's is a great source for green coffee. There's so many options; what do you normally drink? What will you be roasting them with?

I don't normally drink one kind. I usually get a sampler or randomly pick some.

Other than looking at my order history from last time, I couldn't tell ya what I had.

I normally order from them or Sweet Maria's.

Check out either of the Papau New Guinea coffees if you like a darker roast and chocolaty cup.
The Mexican Terruño Nayarita is a great medium bodied coffee.
Guatemala Hue Hue is usually a good full bodied coffee, try their Guatemala Huehuetenango Finca Injertal or the La Esperanza.
And you can never go wrong with an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

Let us know what you order

Excellent choice Do you blend or just drink single origins?

I normally drink single... until I have odd amounts left over.. then the blend comes in.

Garry, I was late getting in on your original request, but am glad you found a source for your recent purchase of green coffee beans.

I'm going to add the following source located down our way in SoCal for your review, and possibly for your next purchase. Sign up for their email specials (discount codes). The codes are great when purchasing a few+ pounds. Bodhi Leaf Coffee Traders also has a great selection to choose from too:

I blend about 90%of the time, usually a Sumatra or Monsooned Malabar with Central American and an African or Yemen. I roast separately and blend after. I like to drink my single origins on the weekends. My wife and I go through about 18-20oz./week.

That Costa Rican SHB sounds interesting, let us know how it turns out

[MarkinAZ]

Fired-up the West Bend Poppery II late this morning (sounds like a whopping commercial roaster doesn't it?) and roasted up some Brazil Bobolink Brown (about 15.25oz post-roast)...



Give it about 10 to 11 hours of de-gas time and we're ready to rock n roll

[CigarSquid]

Thanks Mark.

[Chainsaw13]

Love me some Brazilian beans. Nice job Mark

[Buena Fortuna]

In the poppers today: Ethiopia DP Gey Harrar, Yemen Moka Sharasi, Colombia Marino Fiesta, and Sumatra Mandehling Gr. 1.

Are you blending some of these Sam, or using single? All are tasty beans!

I saved some of the Yemen and Ethiopian for SO in my Aeropress and blended the rest. The blend has a big, silky body with complex chocolate, caramel, nuts and a bit of citrus in the cup this morning. The Yemen needs to rest a couple more days before the berries will pop out on the top end. Fantastic cup of coffee to say the least.

What rule or how much do you measure of coffee to grind per cup?
