1 of 5 strays we've been feeding for about a year now.

I just ordered this $8 basket for my Krups machine. It should fit the DeLonghi too. https://www.amazon.com/MagiDeal-Coffee-Pressurized-Breville-Delonghi/dp/B01JRH3DMS

So do I. I've been using the same one for about 15 years now.

Yes, coffee to water. I put a small digital scale under my cup. I read 1:3 is the Italian standard. I liked the 1:2 slightly more but 1:3 gives me more to drink! Weighing helps me with repeatability.

I don't like WLP830 German Lager. It's not clean tasting to me. It throws off a strong "Becks" beer taste. My favorite for marzens is WLP802 Czech Budejovice. My second choice would be WLP833 German Bock. I haven't tried the dry yet.

Sounds like a great bean for the popcorn popper!

Majorca?

I'm in for 5# of the Ethiopia Dry Process Guji Hangadhi. I also ordered 5# of the Brazil Dry Process Pedra Branca Lot 1. I hope it's as good as the previous years crop which made for awesome espressos - tasted like chocolate banana nut bread. I'm drinking the last of it right now. Thanks to...

So are steel burrs always preferred over ceramic?

i entered.

I did the same thing. It works great! I'll grab a pic next time I roast.

I love mesquite. I'll use it straight up on beef and pork.

How long was overnight, did you change the water any, and did it remove enough salt?

That sounds like a great combination!

Cheers!

Taking a stab at the other samples sent by @Br3w4u B. I got a woody-nut taste maybe pecan and chocolate with an orange jam finish. Body was heavy ad the cup was clean and complex. My guess is Colombian. C. Smelled and tasted like tomato soup and tea. I keep reading that Kenyans can be...
