Jeff and the team at "My Cuppa"

derrilex

Want join me in hosting an open nail gun day OG ? Could be fun and funny. I'll prepare a nice little plexiglass booth for us to sit in and sip coffee. 000 on speed dial. Would be a hoot 😃 Oh, Jeff. Get ready for a large ITM order 😉

speaking of Colombian, The ones Jeff sent me are big fat beans with lots of body, and super "mouth feel" that I asked for not sure how to describe the flavor yet, just really, really good. definitely some special beans.....

C-man

The Colombian is really kicking some goals now.... the Honduras is a cracker too.... I am very impressed.

C-man

he sent me some Indo blue along with some others I have had it before but never like this, it is a tricky one to roast but he nailed it. really nice coffee.

C-man

Hey Jeff, Would you remember which Yirgy you sent me last? All it says on the bag is Yirg. and tye roast date 27th March Small beans almost the size of Yemen just a little bigger

mycuppa

Yes Craig. Dumeresco Gr 1 washed. Of the many washed and unwashed Yirgys we have at the moment, it's the pick

C-man

IT IS DELICIOUS!

mycuppa

It certainly is. One of the best Yirg's I've tasted in a long while. A few cafes in Melbourne ran this as a SO and it was a big hit.

Hmm .. the Yirg eh? Fond memories. :thumb: With mycuppa's Columbian .. minimum rest period is say, 8 days .. for anyone having tried this bean .. in your experience, was there a sweet spot in its maturing process .. and if so, how long did it take .. and how long did it last? The idea behind this .. is that if there is a sweet spot .. I'd like to set aside some of these beans to try them during this phase - in order to see just how good they can get? I have noticed so far in my coffee journey - that there is quite a difference between the 'off-peak' and when beans are at their peak.

mycuppa

Moony, It's not so much the bean's sweet spot, but the technique used to extract which is the governing (and variable) factor. True, my beans generally perform best in the range of day 9 through to 20. But this is just a very broad and high level generalization as it depends upon what bean and what roasting platform it was roasted on - yes, that's correct, coffee from one of my roasters is entirely different to the other roaster. Day 12 should be a safe proposition

C-man

That Columbian was really good the whole time I had it, big "mouth feel" rich creama , good body and smooth taste damm good bean. I always give it at least 7 days before opening. If I had to guess I would go with 12 days post roast too

Moon

Great .. thanks for that. Crikey .. I was all excited about Day 8 .. and now it's Day 12 .. another 4 days. Oh well .. my Mother (Bless her Heart) always told me that good things come to those who wait. :angel:

have to say, I got a kilo of this from you Jeff, and assuming that's the one [Dumeresco Gr 1 washed], it's pouring beautifully - delicious.

Of all the beans last sent 1. Guat. 2, Yirg 3. Lake Tawar 4. Indo Blue The wife really loves the Blue, getting perfect dark extractions rich and spicy I love them all I swap them around each day, and each day I swear this one is the best until the next day when I have a different one. the Sumatra Lake Tawar is a great one in the afternoon with a sweet lingering aftertaste of burnt caramel. spoiled with great coffee........

Thanks A. I am not sure which one they sent you, but it has been a very good lot indeed.

Thanks Craig. Both those Indos are really very good and quite popular amongst our customers. Alas, Indo supplies and pricing are just way off the Richter scale at the moment......so we may be cutting back for a short time.

actually, probably not doing it justice [above] - pouring well as espresso, but absolutely beautiful from the plunger!!

Jeff in case your wondering why I haven't ordered in a while it is because I am now getting beans From Chester "cosmic couple" Just because he is right here on the Sunshine coast (no postage) and needs support getting started, also he just bought a new Slayer.. just like when we were kids we would be best friends until someone comes along with a better toy.. I am still completely happy with your service and may still order again and highly recommend you to everyone. You have looked after me so well I thought you deserved an explanation. Cheers! C-

Oh C-man your supplier fidelity and now fickleness-remorse is lovely. Me, I'm a whore and will spread myself all over the playing field trying bits and bobs from everywhere. Yes I'm talking coffee and if taken out of context it will be a cold winter in the shed for me! We Cremas are spoilt for choice with our sponsors, truly! Between BeanGreen, MyCuppa, Ministry of Grounds and Coffee Parts to keep us up and running we have an unequaled (yes damn it, unequaled... Yes I've heard of other forums and their sponsors... I've been a member and patronised a good deal of them and their sponsors... they don't compare value or quality in my very humble opinion) benchmark with which to pit our newcomers against. Who knows, in a year or two Cosmic Couple may become sponsors!!! Well I suppose if you've jumped ship for a bit I'd better place an order. It's nice to know and remember what the very best is like especially as a home roaster!

you crack me up Brett
