What's Brewing? - January-March 2010

Share your caffeinated goodness here!

I celebrated the New Year with some Panama Esmerelda Gesha lot 10. I nailed the roast (thank goodness, given its price). It is almost tea-like at the lightest roasts; so fragrant and sweet. Absolute nectar.

Mexico Oaxaca Organic (from the GCBC)

Roasted yesterday.

Less than 24 hrs. off the roast, it's intensely jammy.

I won't review it so fresh, however. Also, It was an experimental roast profile. FC+ in 10 minutes (much faster than usual)

I have that coffee. I was very bored with it at City+, but it shines at a Full City roast.

Quiet day around here today. I just made a cup o' charbucks with some irish cream in it.

I bought a 34.5 ounce can of Maxwell House coffee from Walmart's . It cost $6.00. It was the worst coffee that I have ever tasted. It is helping me cut down on my coffee drinking, for I brew two cups, drink one, and throw the other one away.

Ethiopian Washed Sidamo FTO Sidama Union- full city roast

Columbian Excelso Tolima

Quite plain on all roasts but I can drink this any time of the day.

Had some very stale coffee yesterday during a training. It shall be fixed sooner rather than later.

This morning I had a double shot of the GCBC Mexico Oaxaca FTO. It was very nice. Bright booming pleasant acidity with the sweetness and body to back it up.

GCBC Mexico Oaxaca FTO as well today! Must be in the air.

I'm going to start on this PNG Purosa this week, I hope.

Metropolis Coffee's French Roast.

Bali Blue Moon from Rob at the GCBC

Ethiopia dp Haile Seassie Sidamo from Sweet Maria's, ridiculously sweet and fruity.

Finished up a bag from DJ's Ristretto Roasters.

I have to decide whether to pick up a roaster or place another order with DJ. I hate making decisions.

Bottom of the bin today, a little Mex, a little Ethiopia with a dash of Bali-

Surprisingly good. The sweetness and fruit are blasting through.

Guatemala Huehuetenango Finca Dulce Leonarda.

Light roast which has a moderately acidic property. Next time I'm going with a medium roast on this bean.

I know very little about coffee. Do they do a medium roast? That's a big reason why I love Ristretto Roasters, everything is medium roasted. I don't like strong roasted coffee, it tastes burnt to me.
