The 2-3 varieties this season were very earthy but not as "good-earthy" as last season. More "dirt taste" I guess.
Still good, but did not wow me.

Most from SM have been very good, except the Onan Ganjang may have been a bit "dirty"

My last roast was some Bob O Link that I roasted til they were done with 2nd crack. They're quite dark and oily.

HOLY CRAP! Did you do it on purpose?

I generally roast FC+ anyway and wanted to see how it would be going into French Roast territory. Looking a bit more into it, I may have hit Italian roast, so I will just toss it.

FC+ is pretty much as dark as I go, usually just FC.

NO! And I don't believe it either. I don't think you can grow coffee in Portland, even in a green house.

BSB · 12-14-2012, 09:04 AM

The last of the Sumatran, still really good. I'll roast tonight for tomorrow, prolly a Kenyan.

Peruvian Bean Cappucino

New coffee! Kenya Nyeri AB Gatomboya

Roasted 13 hours ago to FC, drip, SO. I love the twang of a good Kenyan and this one has it. Reminds me of the twang in Cuban cigars

It's juicy and sweet, with a long citrus finish that is loaded with grapefruit. Really nice cup! So glad to be drinking something new

from SM
On a side note, it is an interesting challenge to drip brew a pot of coffee when it is this fresh. The bloom wants to rise right out of the coffee maker.

So I've come to the conclusion that I don't like Starbucks coffee. Had a few while out of town as its the only decent cup in Buenos Aires. And that's not saying much.

Found the order from GCBC on my doorstep when I got home from work this morning. I quickly opened the box and immediately fired up 12 oz of Ethopian Sidamo Natural to FC+. Gonna roast 12 oz more shortly.

BSB · 12-16-2012, 02:47 PM

Pressed a pot of Monkey blend before church, was awful

don't know if it was tap water, old beans, what, but it was bad.
Dripped a pot of Kenyan when we got home and it was very good. Not as good as yesterday, but very good.

BSB · 12-17-2012, 01:42 PM

The Kenyan, with 2 1/2, very nice!

MarkinAZ · 12-17-2012, 08:39 PM

...at this time, a cup of Cafe Bustelo with two tsp of turbanado sugur and a good splash of half n half

forgop · 12-17-2012, 09:36 PM

Cold brewing a batch of Ethopian Sidamo Natural roaster at FC+ for the morning. Looking forward to it.

Chainsaw13 · 12-18-2012, 06:56 AM

Ethiopia Sidama Deri Kochoha - roasted last night to FC. Wow, can't wait to try this one tomorrow.

BSB · 12-18-2012, 09:52 AM

The last of the Kenyan, 3 1/2, just excellent!

Patrick B · 12-19-2012, 03:18 AM

French pressed Tanzanian Peaberry. Wired.

Chainsaw13 · 12-19-2012, 06:43 AM

French Press Ethiopian. Wow, even better today after 36 hours from roasting. Time to order more.
