I'm sure it'll still be good coffee by the time I get around to it, but still, it's just the hassle of not roasting it myself and I might have gone perhaps a bit darker. It smells wonderful, but I might only get through 2# before it is no longer "fresh". |

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
As mentioned above, he left me a VM within 30 minutes or so of me sending him an email from my invoice acknowledgment. Mistakes happen and while I'm bummed it happened, he's doing everything to take care of me and i wouldn't hesitate to order from him again in the future.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
He already left me a voicemail from the message I sent. They're shipping out a batch today and wants me to keep a bag and then return the rest at his expense. I knew he'd take care of it, but he was lightning quick. Glad he's a member of the Asylum.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
This morning it was Rwanda Nkanka Kinyaga at FC. I had to use the Dripper w/ paper filter (F.P. is broken). It basically sucked. I just had this 2 days ago in my Press and it was awesome. Tasted like a good Hard Candy. Today it just tasted like ho-hum coffee. Gotta get my new press. Luckily I have another one at home. Will have to start bringing that to the office and then back home on the weekends.

I may have to try and use them, what happens when a mistake is made says more about a company than anything else. Glad to hear it was taken care of.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
How long will green beans last before it starts to decline prior to roasting?
Unclebeanz came out with a 25% off and free shipping for orders > $125 with code santa25 between now and Christmas. Finished my first cup of Negrita out of the French press and I'm thinking a 25# order is necessary. I've probably roasted 20 different greens (including Kona) and this is my best cup all year. |

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
Negrita is the BOMB!
Different theories on how long, and it does vary by bean. Cool dry conditions are best, 6 months to a year. Some say, vacuum packed and kept in the freezer will extend life. Today I did the Costa Rican, in French press, and drip with a gold. Both are excellent, no discernible difference. And, this coffee seems to have improved with the extra rest (2 1/2 days), body increased, balance is better, nice sweetness.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
I have to say Ethiopian coffee is quickly becoming my fave. This batch of Sidama still tastes great 5 days after roasting.

Re: COFFEE: What are you drinking?
I tried an Ethopian Yirgacheffe in my french press earlier in the week that was very good and I've roasted a couple batches of Sidama Natural this week. Great stuff.
