Ethiopia Illubabor Hana Bosoke I sh*t you NOT! Roasted 60 hours ago to FC+, drip, splash. Very nice, not complex, plenty of cocoa and some mild fruit (which SM decribes as baked peaches). I think a shade lighter next time. Supposed to be a good SO espresso, I'll send a pound to my Brother, too.

I'm drinking the stuff that Weeze makes that gives me heartburn. The same stuff I drink every day. I really have to fix this. We need two coffee pots, or a his and hers.

Enjoying some Sumatra Lintong Tano Batak I roasted two days ago. Very unique coffee, nothing like anything I've tried before. SM's was right on their tasting notes, spicy, malty, syrupy.

Tried some of the SM's Liquid Amber blend this evening. Not bad but I think I need to roast darker. Had an off sour taste. I'll make adjustments on the next roast.

New coffee! Sumatra Lintong Tano Batak Roasted 2 days ago to just FC, drip, Silk. Tried for city+ but even though I stopped just at the 1st sign of 2nd crack, it came out darker than I liked. Still, EXCELLENT! Complex, sweet, loaded with that funky earthiness of a good Sumatran. I'm liking this one a LOT

So you experienced the same thing with this Sumatran as I did. It darkens pretty quick. I"m still on the fence with this one. That funky earthiness to make smells/tastes like raw green bell peppers.

Burundi from Gacokwe station. American roast. I've been drinking almost nothing else for weeks now. Perfect blend of bright acidity and smoothness.
