What coffee am I drinking at the moment?

That's a nice blend mwcalder. I've bought a few bags of it over time and enjoyed it at clandestinos a few times too.

Tomorrow March 5th and the Yirg from Chester will be good to go.........yummy I also instructed him to roast some more now for another 2 weeks wait away. that coffee is absolutely undrinkable until day 13 then it is suddenly transformed into paradise for my taste buds anyway.

I've got some, I haven't opened the bag yet. 🙂 I'll have a look tomorrow, might even sample some.

Must be the week for Yirg, I just broke into a batch I roasted a few days ago. :thumb: Bloody sight better than that India Elephant hills Peaberry rubbish I just finished. :-[

Yirg Kochera Brett H little bit longer development time than what I normally do on the yirg, but on the Kochera it pulls a little more blueberry out of the bean which was what C-man was after. First crack 11:50mins @ 188c dumped at 14:55 @ 200c medium roast.

I'm about to give it a go. C-Man was adamant that I didn't open the bag till today!

My sympathees C man. A number of my customers at the cafe have gone off milk due to the same reasons or simply to lose weight. The general rise in obesity and sedentary lifestyles is a main factor for the change to black coffee, tea, or abstinence altogether. Some of them however have converted to lighter bodied brews. I had the Yirgacheffe Gelena Abaya through the Curtis Gold Cup machine. The converts as well as myself go wow at the uplifting florals and fruity berries on the palate. Heaven in a cup. And no heaviness. Today and yesterday we ran out of carafes and cups. Improvisation came in the form of milk jugs and piccolo cups.

I have compromised to one short black a day, I feel a lot better without the milk

The last couple of lots of beans I have bought were sold as Guatemala SHB, they were velvety smooth with a very distinct chocolate note. Does coffee have notes? I am more used to talking perfume and perfume has notes :🙂. I just popped out and thought I would have a change and grabbed some that were sold as Costa Rica, Costa Rica what I have no idea :-|.

I just finished a batch of Harrar Mocha and this arvo in going to start my batch of Ipanema Espresso from The Coffee Co. Last time I had this it was beautifully sweet, creamy with notes of chocolate. Hopefully this batch will be the same. It's 9 days post roast. If it's good it won't last long.

The Costa Rica whatever they were didn't do it for me so I am back on the Guatemala shb :coffee2:.

Hi Sue. I'm assuming you're drinking single origins and not blends?

Cuir_Beluga

I am GeekKopi. The coffee shop/cafe I get my beans from only has 7 different beans, all are single origin except their house blend they have called an Italian blend which I wasn't keen on. I really, really need to find somewhere else to buy beans from, they are very limited and the people that work there are as rude as ****.

As a suggestion possibly try a balanced blend for a straight up espresso. The single origins might be too 'bright'/acidic for you to drink black. Are the beans you get a lighter roast? I've been getting my roasted beans from "the coffee company". They are in Melbourne but they deliver at very reasonable prices. Their beans range from $28-$30 per kilo for blends and single origins. Can't go wrong and they roast fresh everyday with high turnover. I've tried all the fancier roasting houses down my way such as Axil, 7seeds and the like but they roast too light and they are too acidic for my taste.
