I'm drinking a blend from a local roaster I know it contains Colombian Las Naranjos, forget what else is the other bean.

Kirkland Rawanda; great general purpose coffee. Works as french press or in espresso machine. Been digging their Hawaii single estate (forget the brand) and the Kirkland Guatamala

Mr B · 05-30-2012, 01:08 PM

Colombia "Dos Payasos de Tolima at FC+.
This one was better with 4+ days rest.

Hello Brent

Trader Joe's House Blend. Nice cup

Mr B · 05-30-2012, 01:20 PM

Hey Mark, good to hear from you.

BeerAdvocate · 05-31-2012, 12:08 PM

Donut Shop K-cup

Mr B · 05-31-2012, 12:19 PM

This morning was the bottom of 2 bags for a Desperado Blend.

75% Ethiopia at city+ and 25% Colombian at FC+

Just ho-hum.

Chainsaw13 · 06-02-2012, 08:59 AM

Brazilian Fazenda No Name O, half at FC, half at FC+. Reminds me of the stuff I drank in brazil. Been trying finer grinds for the FP. Much more extraction with not too much in the bottom of the cup.

Mr B · 06-04-2012, 11:22 AM

I grind pretty fine for my Press too. I just make sure I press slowly and I also make about 1/2 cup more that I will need So I dont have to pour out all the grounds from the pot into my cup.

In case any of you coffee drinkers missed it, Dball made me a special cup of cap this last weekend at the Rochester herf:

Mr B · 06-06-2012, 05:16 PM

Today was El Salvador Majahual Tablon La Montana at City+. Such a great bean. Nice Graham Cracker notes w/ some Light baking spice and citrus. Very juicy cup.

Mr B · 06-07-2012, 11:05 AM

Ethiopia DP Sidama Aleta Wondo at FC w/ 2 days on it.
Awesome Cup. Very fruity, juicy with a slight nuttyness.

Kenya Nyeri Nguguru at FC.
Tasty. Earthy, Coco, lite citrus.
Much better than the last Kenyan I roasted up. Cant remember which one it was, but it tasted like grass.

Chainsaw13 · 06-10-2012, 08:40 AM

Hawaii Kona Kowali Farm Typica. Light body, kinda floral with some cinnamon coming through.

CigarSquid · 06-10-2012, 09:34 AM

Oh how two years can change things. My crappy grinder and drip machine are replaced by quality gear, and DD coffee is now 8-9 dollars a pound. Now that's ridiculous enough I started going to the available roasters.

Everyone of them around here runs 11-12 dollars a pound and it is SOOOO much better.

Right this moment we are on our second bag of House of Coffee Beans' Charlies' Blend. All of their coffees are great and great local business. Highly recommend to order some folks.

Nice web page for this coffee roaster in the Houston area Jason. Looks like they have a great selection of blends and espresso roasts. Your lucky man and Serious Cigars is close by too

kydsid · 06-25-2012, 10:58 AM

Close is relative Mark, Serious is 60 miles from my house. But ya there are several local roasters that put out outstanding product, IMO. And most have good websites etc. Houston is actually one of the large hubs for the coffee trade in the world. There are several Free Trade Zone coffee warehouses here. I'm sure that helps the local roasters to try out new things. If it wasn't so hot here the coffee scene would be nuts. As it is it's as developed as the Pacific Northwest area.

This is another one of our favorite roasters here: http://katzcoffee.com/store.php

We just finished up a bag of the Bayou City blend, amazing really. I actually prefer this over the Charlie's in some ways.
