COFFEE: What are you drinking?

Ethiopian Harrar this morning via french press!

[Mr B]

Having some Kenya Nyeri Ngunguru I roasted to Full City+ on Saturday. Very nice. I really enjoy this one.

Had another cup of Espresso Monkey Blend this morning, one of my favorites so far.

[Mr B]

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?

[Mr B]

That my understanding, LOL. I dont have one either. But I love my press. I will have to give that blend a try.

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

[Mr B]

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.)

Trying out my new Lattissima+

Too much foam but I'll get it down

I showed a picture of this to a buddy of mine having issues of making chai tea himself cause he can't get the froth or to taste right, would something like this help making it. Reason I would suggest something like this is he makes esspressos and lattes as well so I said if it would work he'd corner all his tastes.

Well it would work for the espresso and the latte but in order to make it work for the chai it would take a bit of tweaking. The machine uses the Nespresso capsule system and they don't sell chai tea. However, they do have fillable re-usable capsules that you can put anything in so it'd work for chai tea if he bought those.

I have loved both of my Nespresso machines and this is coming from a guy who used to grind his own beans and use a Gaggia espresso machine so that says something.

[Mr B]

nice new toy!

[BSB]

Very nice, Tyr. Sweet machine. You are right, too much foam

[BSB]

Colombia Tolima EG Micro with 3, very nice, lemony.

[BSB]

The last of the Colombian, with 4, very smooth. Most of the lemony is gone.

Drinking the SM Monkey Espresso Blend roasted to FC+. I'm kind of indifferent about it.

I always felt this way about it and my Brother didn't like it as espresso. I think the Moka Kadir Blend is WAY better

[Mr B]

Guatamala Bourbon Finca San Diego Bella Vista at FC+. Very Nice.
