El Salvador Majahual Tablon La Montana at Full City. Such a tasty roast. Med body, lite cinnamon, lite milk chocolate and a slight apple rind tart. Very juicy too.

I think there are a few vendors on the forum who supply fresh roasted coffee. I forget who, but maybe someone can point them out.

Uncle Beanz is almost right next door to you

Klatch is on the whole other side of the country. I'd give Norman a call.
The El Salvador, with 4, is excellent.
New coffee tomorrow

Day 6 for the El Salvador Majahual -Tablon La Montana and it's starting to decline. Still good, but probably best on days 4 and 5.

Some El Salvador from a local roaster. Question, can the roasting flavor intensify the longer the beans sit? I've had this batch for about a month. Maybe it's because I've been drinking the lighter roasts I've made, but this ES tastes over roasted. Never noticed it before when fresh.

Interesting question. I NEVER keep coffee this long. It makes sense though. As coffee gets older, the varietal characteristics diminish. I don't know that roast flavors would intesify, but seems like they would certainly dominate.

Cafe con Leche

New coffee! Guatemala Genuine Antigua Covadonga

Roasted 2 days ago to FC, drip, Silk creamer and 1/2 & 1/2 (2 cups

). Decent cup but it's not blowing me away like some other recent ones have. Maybe a tad too dark, funny, it looks darker than where I stopped the roast, a couple snaps into 2nd.

So how does the silk compare to the half and half? I can't imagine it tastes as good. I love me some good 'ol fashioned fattening dairy.

It is a non "flavored" silk. It is not like the regular Vanilla Silk that I drink instead of milk. It tastes just like 1/2 & 1/2. Just as thick and creamy too. Give it a try. Its the one in the red label.

Okay I will give it a shot.
