Ronin

In the grinder and cup at the moment I have Colombian COE El Tiestero- Lot 14 Coco goodness with a ever so slight citrisy finish Double ristretto flat white, and with Maleny milk............... makes Ronin happy after a long day at work

Got a bag of Genovese Super Brazil to retry. The last time I had a bag or two there was a noticeable change (not in a good way) in flavour from what had been a very consistently good blend. Pleased to report that they seem to have got it together again. Couple of very nice double shot Lattes for the morning. 🙂 Doesn't mean I don't love mycuppa Suuweet anymore either ;D

Uganda Busamaga. Very nice for pourover and long blacks. Bright and fruity as espresso, but a bit too much because of roast level (OH impression).

Yemen Sanani Mocca from beangreen - really interesting caramel flavour in a latte. Sniff

Just ordered a couple of kilo's of this one, will make sure it's the first cab off the rank. 😉

Today I broke into the 1kg pack of Espresso that mycuppa sent in the package. I know I know it still has 4 days to go before it should be used but I'd run out of everything else for my OH. So here is the gauge reading and the end of the pour 🙂 http://youtu.be/QALWvhJEYe0 no idea how to embed it...

YUMMY!!!!! I licked my computer monitor..... blurk~!

LMAO Brett ;D I feel it blonded just a little too much, I used the double button and I think it goes slightly longer than 30 seconds but OH said that it tasted like dark chocolate without the sugar, it can only get better once it hits the right stage 🙂

AM I haven't reprogrammed just yet, but did cut it short thank you and WOW, I have to admit I was hesitant about the blend, but it's fantastic, thank you Jeff ;D

mycuppa

Thanks Nic. You know, that coffee is barely 4 days old and it will do your head in over the next week ! That coffee can need up to 12 days to sort itself out......sometimes it chucks a wobbly around day 10 or 11. The Early Bird catches the worm.........and perhaps a good dose of grind/dose frustration...... Good vid as well - perhaps a little finer on the grind or updose a tad to slow the flow - should bring in more sweetness as well.

LOL Jeff lucky I've got a kilogram, it will last for a while, we'll get to taste it at all it's stages 🙂 I made one for myself, as you know, this afternoon and it hit the right spot in terms of gauge, timing, etc, I got 40-50ml in 30 seconds and yes you are absolutely right it was sweet. I will always give the good, bad and ugly of everything I do, what's the point of not doing that, you can't learn and people can't learn from you 🙂 I originally said I was going to do a blog for the DBD and was excited about doing it, well 😛 to Breville and ;D for Sunbeam. People can actually watch and learn from people doing blogs like mine!

Suuweet blend from mycuppa, cracked open the bag and got a huge whiff of super sweet vanilla. Very very smooth, large mid body and suuuweeet! Not my style of coffee but a sublime, excellent blend. A bit like a Genovese coffee but much better quality. A blend that I made up: 2 parts Laos, 2 parts El Salvador, 1 part Yirgacheffe Harfusa. Light milk chocolate, large mid body with a sweet clean "granny smith apple, lime" finish. Nice. And enjoying the Harrar that I roasted from the beans that Jeff very kindly gave away. Big fat stewed fruit. Thanks Jeff!

I'm drinking the Espresso from mycuppa. Using the Synesso basket, 22g of Espresso and woah talk about chocolate 😃 I did try the last of my Rononi, I only had 20.54g and not thinking I put it in the Synesso basket, big mistake, ended up with a sink shot, I should have just used the normal Sunbeam double basket and it would have been right, oh well, live and learn 😃

Ronin

Equal parts of the following Colombian Andes Santa Rita PNG Waghi AA Ethiopian Harrar Roasted together, pulled first snaps of second crack. 10 days post roast. Full flavoured coco, mid body, berry finish with a lingering almost pineapple taste. Very nice as dbl rizz flat white

mycuppa

with Brekkie - Tanza TEC Estate AA - Berries and butter melted in my mouth. 10am - Bolivia FTO - sweet caramel and choc, just like a molten mars bar. midday - Honduras CoE.......what can I say.... 2pm - Sidamo Haile Selassi.......refined sweetness and super long finish 2:05pm - Sidamo Mormosa - massive fruit attack. Think I prefer the balance of the HS 4pm - PNG A......name of farm withheld in secrecy 5pm - Sumatran Lake Tawar - brewed in syphon - delicious

Mmm think I might have to come and spend the day with you one day, sounds varied and delicious 🙂

Did I mention you two suck 😛 I can't eat Mars Bars anymore, actually can't eat much that has caramel in it due to the barley which has gluten in it, I want some of this!!! Off to search ;D
