Did the postman bring anything nice today?

Just this sign today to stick in my little corner.

Oh! Nice coffee sign ! And yeah, cold spell not great for coffee roasting - I dropped my batch size down to 300g because 400g was not cutting it - the larger roast size was coming up a bit short in my preferred roast profile - even allowing for the added time extensions on the Behmor Suppose I could always do a preheat but with glass heating elements I expect the temperature to come up to spec pretty quickly No such problems with the coretto - but it's been a bit too cold to roast outside All in all though can't complain as I've been drinking great coffee and getting s*** done and I guess that's the main thing!

Nice sign Sue. My Mycuppa order came and apparently the postman attempted delivery. Yeah right. There is a card in my letterbox so I'll need to pick it up after 4pm. #austpostslack

Thanks Coffeeguy and Geek, at least this one arrived in better shape than the last one :thumb:. Aust Post are a bit slack at times, touch wood I have had no dramas with them yet. I do hate the after 4pm pick up though. Todays goodies that arrived are a sachet of Grindz and a non coffee related body lotion 😛.

well I just ordered and went in a different direction. The description of Centre Way sounded too good so I pulled the trigger. Has anyone tried it?

I have ordered today 500g of the Centre Way along with some Eco Grinder Cleaner, so you and I can post some "in the cup" results soon. I occasionally compare the professional roasts against my operation of the JYR and this Centre Way sounds very interesting. I am also running low on browns and have learned that I need to allow longer rest times from the JYR. Looking forward to the Postman bringing things nice! 😛

sounds good Kevo. I picked up my Centreway just before. I'll pull a shot tomorrow morning and try it black and report.

I guess Centre Way is on my next order :coffee2:.

But......... GK and I haven't reviewed it as yet! :stir At this stage it's just a "lick and a promise" but it's bound to be up to FC's high (reported here) standard. Hurry up Postman Pat. 🙂 :coffee2:

I just tried it. My palate is a bit off tonight but I tried it as a latte and what can I say. Excellent. Not very descriptive but I'll go into detail tomorrow after 'cupping' it tomorrow. Right now I'm just after the caffeine. My little one has started her first wonder week. Let's just say fussy, unsettled, crying and the wife and I are pulling our hair out. Lol.

Kevo I think we should review it by brewing it in a mocha pot by using the heat generated from a Ford Windsor rocker cover. "Classic Brew".

Interesting conception. :lamp: :lamp: Do you have any spare rocker covers around? There seems to be a (new?) trend at swap meets and car shows up this way for rocker cover racing. 8)

havent heard of rocker cover racing til now and I googled it. Too good! No spares in my garage. Could be a project. Might eBay a pair of el cheapos.

Just took delivery of my MorphyRichards retro kettle. (40% off at Myer at the moment). http://m.myer.com.au/shop/mobile/mystore/morphy-richards-102201-elipta-15litre-traditional-kettle%3A-cornflower-blue This kettle was a compromise as I want to set up a pour over on my bench but my wife hates the hario kettles. This one is an in-betweener and still maintains pour control to a manageable degree.

Nice Geek 🙂. I so, so, so badly want the purple one with the matching purple toaster 😛.

we were thinking about the matching toaster too but we just store our el cheapo one away out of sight when not in use. Too many things on the bench now anyways such as steriliser, bottle warmers, bottles, etc.

That's hefty. Don't want to think how much ours will be. The reverse cycle heaters been on everyday. [emoji49]

Cuir_Beluga

I think that is what has bumped ours up, the heating. Maybe the Splendor didn't help as well, this is the first bill since we got it. We have solar panels too :🙂.

Postman delivered my 500g of My Cuppa Centre Way this morning. Roasted on Monday, ordered Tuesday and at the front door up here in the Hunter Valley 7:30am Friday. :thumb: Now, as it is only just into the 4th day post roast, should I be trying it this morning? (yes!) Or give it a day or two more? Your comments/suggestions are welcome, but really, I'm going to be "trying" it today and every day :exclaim: :exclaim: Next coffee break due around 10:30. Comment TBA.
