COFFEE: What are you drinking? - Page 53

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.

You need to get a "gold" filter for your drip. Makes a world of difference. The test being, use the gold for a week, then use paper again. You will never go back to paper.

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.

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.

Sure nice to see you posting again, Norman

BSB · 12-22-2012, 09:39 AM

The Costa Rica, with 3 1/2, just a fine cup of coffee.

novasurf · 12-22-2012, 10:54 AM

Ethiopian Tchembe. Banana peel, strawberry (just at the point where you bite into it but it needs about two more days to ripen) dry cocoa. Nice.

I have to say Ethiopian coffee is quickly becoming my fave. This batch of Sidama still tastes great 5 days after roasting.

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.

Negrita. Enough said.

Pressed a pot of Brazil Bob-o-link, before heading off to church. It's an awesome service and you can watch online at 9 & 11 MST http://www.newlifechurch.org/nlclive.jsp
Hey, the coffee was pretty good, too

My 1st try.

BSB · 12-24-2012, 10:16 AM

Brazil Bob-o-link

Jamaican Blue Mountain, Grade One. Beautiful.

BSB · 12-25-2012, 11:12 AM

Brazil Bob-o-link with 2 1/2, just excellent!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Xmas Bob

Peet's Coffee - Uzuri African Blend with a few left over Walnut squares that my wife baked for last nights pig out feast.

I do not usually purchase coffee at the big name stores, but needed some whole beans for last night, and this turned out to be some pretty darn good mud...
