Been doing some learning on the silver streak today. 🙂 2.15kg of Rwanda Buf Remera coe #7, dropped a little before 2nd. 2kg of Kenya Gethumbwini, dropped just on start of 2nd, The Getumbwini coffee is amazing stuff to drink and being an estate coffee there is a lot of quality control and it shows in the cup. Ill give Brendon and Bean Green a plug here as you should get some to put through your roaster as you won't be disappointed. :thumb: Chester

My very last of my stash of Yemeni Ben Ismali was roasted this week... can't wait until tomorrow when it has been rested enough to brew! Also, I roasted one of Brendan's Rwanda beans ... and as I normally do not drink SO (generally drink our house blend.. slack, I know..), it will be a real eye-opener -week for me... looking forward to both the Yemen as well as the Rwanda 😉 L

The last couple of days has seen me throw a few roasts at the Behmor: 1. Two Panama Esmeralda roasts of 330g, 1IbP2B and pulled on 2C. 2. Three roasts of a blend of Brazil Yellow bourbon, Kuda Mas & Yirgacheffe. 2:1:1 for a 310g on 1IbP2B and pulled I to 2C. 3. The notes of melon... A 330g roast of Indo Wahana on 1 IbP2B and pulled on rolling 2C. I let this rest for 12-14 days before consuming. 4. Two roasts today of Kenya Thiaru Estate AAA, 330g, 1IbP2B and pulled into 2C. All the beans above from our sponsor in BG or MG. Jonty

Just roaster on the KKTO 700 grams of Ethiopian Limu :thumb: Never roasted this bean so light Pulled and cooled on the cusp of second crack A little degas rest and it should be nice KK

Koffee_Kosmo

Just roasted on the KKTO - same bean as my last roast but slightly darker 1000 grams of Ethiopian Limu ( roaster breezed through it in 18 min 40 sec but first crack was @ 15 min 30 sec ) Pulled and cooled on the start of second crack The last and lighter roast is wonderful. This slightly darker roast should also be nice, again a little degas and it should be in the zone KK

Anyone else noticed that Wahana natural has a shorter life than many other beans? Maybe it de-gasses slightly faster? I've been lucky if I get any longer than about 2 weeks out of them before they start to stale and it affects the pour. I also picked up some Yemen the other day which the guy assured me was 'Ismaili number one'. It was expensive compared to other bean prices here (about $17/kg) but I thought I'd give it a try. A real small, manky bunch of beans, weird tan coloured, some insect damage, peppered with stalk, rocks and the odd unidentifiable bit of spice. I did a little manual sort myself prior to roasting. Roasted a week ago, slightly on the light side, and it's one of the nicest coffees I've had this year! Very happy and I'll be going back to the spice market to get some more. Also picked up a few kilo's of some sidamo and harrar but our customs friends at the entrance to the airport in Ethiopia confiscated the lot 🙁 Apparently 'it's not allowed' to export green coffee beans without an export license....

what was Ethiopia like a far as buying a good coffee?

mycuppa

Not saying it happens in Ethiopia, but for many origins the best grades of coffee are exported and their domestic markets are serviced with the "rough" stuff. Some South and Central American coffee growing countries have this challenge. Generally, to get a decent coffee you may need to get out of the cities and up into the areas near farms and plantations.

Yes I think it's true also for Ethiopia, but they do have the good stuff available too at about a 30% price price premium. The good news is that prices have dropped about 20% since my last visit. The rough stuff is priced for local consumption at only 70birr/kg which is about $3.80. The good stuff, which I think is usually better than what I used to buy back home in Aus is 100birr ($5.45). I'm convinced that after arriving in Aus, the time spent in storage and shipping hasn't done the bean any favours.
