I end up giving coffees nicknames. Bogali Turkey (I'm gonna roast that turkey!), Hambela Baked Alaska, Sidamo "Gerbil Killer", etc..My last was that sm, is that the hanabongi? It's super good, a little better than the maho. It was a superb deal.
That's it, strawberry. The slightest hint on every third cup or so. Depending on palate cleanliness, maybe? A few cups of fairly marked fruit too.I have some of that coffee Applescrap. Milk chocolate strawberry are dominant flavors. It is what I actually brewed this morning. Along with a shot of Brazilian bean espresso.
Sounds awesome I'll check it out. I have enough for now and we aren't drinking it fast enough. Cold brew.I think mentioned this one a long time ago but Klatch must have a contract & great relationship with this farm. Ive had several year's crops on this & it is the most consistently fruit-punch coffee Ive ever had... wish is remarkable. Its always extremely fruity and ranges from a tropical fruit salad to blueberry & strawberry. It's not hard to pull the fruit flavors out either. Cool part is you can order it roasted by Klatch as well & compare to your own roasts to see how you're stacking up. Ive done this a couple times and been able to get pretty close to what they do with it.
If you order a 10lb bag, it drops the price to $8/lb which IMHO is a good price all things considered.

What does the line that crashed represent? Cant wait to hear how you like it.Kenya Ichamama Triple Wash Crown Jewel.
First roast of this AA bean went well. You can see the crash at onset of 1C even though I kept the heat way up until the absolute last second. Drove the roast a bit faster than id like due to that so depending on how it cups I may charge a little lower to extend time to 1C. Id like to see that development % tighten up a bit and get closer to 10 rather than 15. Only 10.3% loss though which i gives isn't surprising considering it's a sub 8min. roast

With a birthday coming up, I'd like to up my game with pour over. I know this has been discussed many times on the last 143 pages, but I was wondering if anyone uses the OXO electric gooseneck and their feelings on it.
I was also considering the Hario Woodneck cloth filter pour over drip pot vs. the Chemex.
Thanks for any input.
I'm guessing it's available all over or will be soon. For $400, it's tempting, but I'd like to see some reviews first if it is a new model.
I was also considering the Hario Woodneck cloth filter pour over drip pot vs. the Chemex.
For the Hario V60 does size make a difference in taste? Would one be better over the other when making just one serving?
A few of us use the Bonavita electric kettle...it's kind of the "name" for serious hobby-ists and small cafes. You can get the 1L for like $45 and the 1.7 L for about $65 https://www.amazon.com/Bonavita-BV3...ocphy=9007525&hvtargid=pla-275333816061&psc=1
I would strongly suggest the Chemex over any other options for pourover, but I'm heavily biased because I think the Chemex is the sexiest, easiest, and best tasting device made to brew coffee. You've got some options with it too in the filter game - paper filters (for the signature clean Chemex flavor) or a re-usable filter basket (for more oils, body, and french-press like flavors).
Again, just my personal opinions.
“99 shots of espresso on the wall, 99 shots of espresso, you take one down, pass it around...”I'm really liking 20g of coffee in a 2oz shot. 1# green yields about 400g roasted so with 5# I have 99 more shots to go!
Kenya Ichamama Dark. Honey, chocolate, plum, cinnamon and apple. Heavy body. Mild acidity.

It is so good. It ranks up there at the top level of what I've had so far. It was worth the high price tag to have something special in my pantry. I hope I can make it last a while.that sounds good. really good
AA rated? AA quality? You mean AA screen size.Mroing and happy 4th. Roasted more hana, chocolatey and nice body. Still not getting fruit. Ok, you guys that have been talking deals, bl special this week is 25 off a AA rated Kenyan. At 5 pounds I figure 32 or 33 to the door shipping included. If you like kenyan this could be your back up to the good stuff!
Oops I should add that I have drank it and it is AA quality, but not amazing like the 10 dollar a pound types.
It looks super diesel. Curious how low it will go.If anyone is looking to make a giant leap fwd on your grinder there is a used Monolith Conical for sale over @ HB. These do pop up time to time & this is a gen 1 but the seller is a good dude (so assume it would be a clean transaction & as advertised unit). I slightly prefer the flat burr but the conical is no slouch. Anyhow - mostly shared it bc I feel the seller is a reputable person:

Beer.What are you all drinking these days?
Haha, oops[emoji6]Beer.

Just got an email from Legacy Farms (guessing a few of you got this too) that they have new crops coming soon with different process techniques having been used.
This is something I am really looking forward to, because you can try the exact same coffee processed a few different ways, and see how the processing can affect the flavor and how it roasts.
