What coffee am I drinking at the moment?

I know, I just watched it on FB 😃. I just had a cuppa of the Suuweet, one of the best yet. That was after overfilling the basket, not being able to get it in the group properly, thinking she'll be right, firing up the machine only to have the portafilter coming off and breaking my espresso glass I has sitting there waiting to be filled 🙁. I am already approx. half way through the bag :o.

I've been there sue. Messy! I remember when I did my espresso course a while back the guy next to me on a two group machine didn't lock in his PF properly and it went everywhere (on my clothes) when the PF popped out.

I guess I am in great company then ;D!

bloody awesome. I drank it black. It was full bodied and sweet enough for me.

Thanks GeekKopi, you've sold it to me. I think I will take a punt on a Roasters Choice too 😛.

Done! 1 kilo of Espresso and 1 kilo of Roaster Choice has been ordered :coffee2:.

thats a lot of coffee to get through Sue. beans might go stale if you don't get through them within the month. Looks like you will be buzzing [emoji3]

welcome to club addiction. There's no way out now.

You guys have created a monster >😃. At least 2 kilos should last me, hopefully, three weeks.

I've ordered some Decaf and some Roaster's Choice from MyCuppa. I usually roast my own decaf and its chocolatey loveliness is often remarked upon by a much loved friend who is a non-coffee drinker but prefers it to the standard hot chocolate. A well made quality Decaf is really great.... Trust me. I'm keen to try Jeffs!!! Will update when said order arrives 😉

Please do Brett 🙂. I think I have become a Jeff fangirl :thumb:.

It will be interesting to see if we both get the same Roasters Choice.

I just went through 1/2 of my 500g batch this morning. Had some friends drop by and we got loaded up on a couple blacks then finished off with a latte. Had to give my machine a backflush after all that hard work. Impressed though as I was pulling shot after shot. Recovery time was quick. I'll need a two group (or a lever sitting next to my e61) if this keeps happening. I think tax returns are just around the corner.

They're on their way 😃. You'll be ordering again in no time too GeekKopi 😛. I am wanting a lever too, probably a Europiccola. Maybe I will find one under the Christmas tree this year :coffee2:.

I think so too. Before you settle on the Elektra / europiccola do your due diligence as those little levers are a PITA to surf to the right extraction temp - they need a lot of intervention to get a shot pulled right. That's just me but others might have different thoughts.

Cuir_Beluga

Will do, I am just in the planning/research stage, nothing definite yet 🙂.

did my first roast in my new behmor plus yesterday - 100g of India Elephant Hills AA And fired it up as a latte this morning! Roast was very even with nice colouration - 8min to the end of first crack and the start of second - then hit the cool down cycle coffee only a day old but good aromatics of toasted almonds, turmeric, and caramel tasted great in the cup very easy to drink with medium body and good aromatics if it tastes this good now it can only get better time to fire up the roaster i think!
