After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

    Had a few cornels myself last night - courtesy of some Colombian FTO. A., I returned almost a pallet of the LOLO branded Supremo Popayan recently (albeit a different bean to your Excelso) - as it appeared to have suffered heat stress at some point. To be honest, have experienced mixed results (some good, others not so) over the years from LOLO sourced Colombians.

Second Roast comprised of 400 gr of Ethiopian Limu 300  gr of Indian Monsooned Robusta Third roast and largest was an Indonesian / Sumatran Kuda  Mas 1 kg of Sumatran Kuda Mas Did a whole KG as the roaster was hot and ready to go Once roasted and cooled, all these beans were mixed well together in a clean bucket and bagged for a 5 day degas Note - some of these beans are being gifted to a business associate so I hope my experimental roast is going to be to everyone's liking KK

    The Early batches this week are a real mixed bag from 4 different suppliers. So nice to have the huge range of choices in smaller quantities.  :thumb: Rwandan Mig from 3rd Crack in Brisbane. Siphon/Cold Drip Roast. 330g which is on the low end for the CCR. Costa Rican Basmati from WoTb Sydney. 650g for Espresso (1 more load left) Mysore Nuggets from CS to tidy up the end of another varietal. Espresso 738g La Candelia Geisha from Ministry Grounds 650g for Siphon. Makes it about $60 worth of greens for the load ??? Blend playing on Friday at this stage.

    Tonight I did 4 roasts on the Behmor 1IbP2B setting, all 300g greens. 1. Kelsey's blend for the boys at work. ( Bachue, MM & Kuda Mas ) 2. Espresso blend, 50% brazil, 25% Indo, 25% Sidamo 3&4. Panama La Esmeralda The La Esmeralda smelt Devine on opening the bag, so let see how it shines in about 10 days!

    Yes we do this every year at christmas. The pity will be, if the clients put it through an espresso machine or worse turn it into a lar taye, instead of infusing it or doing filter or a vac pot where they can much better appreciate the character they are paying for. But of course its their money, and they can do with it whatever they like!

    Hopefully they  will have the decency not to tell you if they make it into a single shot bucket of caramel frappucino with chocolate  sprinkles

    my first thought on this was that they were well suited to learn about coffee appreciation, so the course would not be wasted even if the JBM was. Now i am wondering if mycuppa ever opened that prehistoric bag of coffee found in his warehouse.

    I roasted a 400g batch today of: <a href=http://www.beangreen.com.au/product-info.php?pid147.html>Kenyan AA Dorman</a> To my surprise, after chewing on one of beans right after cooling was complete, I was reminded of jackfruit. Anyone roasted these beans before and tasted something similar? I did read the description and it says "...sweetness of tropical fruits, floral notes and grape, currant and wine-like characteristics..." Am I hallucinating or did I really taste some 'jackfruit' sweetness?
