What coffee am I drinking at the moment?

Well I have a clear preference for floral, fruity aromatic Ethiopians. But last week I got a bag of Brazil Bom Jesus (via beanhunter subscription), which I really liked. And Mrs SBM prefers it in her caps.Then I got another bag of same from Maling Room. Great, creamy feel. So while the yirgs (etc) remain my favourite, I have found a totally different coffee that I can go for, which is very exciting for me. Ps the beanhunter thing is really good for me, ensuring I get out of my taste/ preference comfort zone. Recommend.

Oooo yum!! The best Yirg I've ever had was from Cosmorex Coffee in Canberra! It tied in those notes you mentioned but wrapped them up in a subtle chocolate parcel. I don't keep wine or coffee tasting notes anymore because my life now has meaning; but, if I find a Yirg as good I'd be compelled to open the book. If you're after the ultimate berry-chocolate experience then MyCuppa has a terrific blend and one of you will hopefully kindly remind of its name....?

Berry Apocalypse? I keep meaning to order some of those. I will get there one day as they have me intrigued. Currently drinking home roasted Ethiopian Limu Kossa.

I have noticed a definite improvement since I first started. In fact, I am just about to get my roast on when Junior No 1 gets out of the kitchen so I will get hubby on the end of his camera and post some pics.

Yes, Berry apocalypse. Tried it, but my personal preference is for his Yirg.

I think I may have had his Yirggy too, I am not very faithful when it comes to beans, I want to try them all lol.

I'm drinking India Elephant hills Monsooned at the moment. Lovely syrupy pours, intense earthy chocolate flavours and a crema monster, one of the best SO's I've roasted in ages. :thumb:

I am currently on the Ethiopian Limu Kossa, I don't think I am a fan to be honest but waste not, want not and all that.

What Burundi and Peru do you have? I gather you've roasted them yourself, how did you tackle them?

Dominican Republic Soliman. I did have some Costa Rican El Beneficio in the hopper until I knocked the hopper off and all the beans came tumbling out and mixed with ground coffee on the cupboard top so I had to bin it 🙁.

Surely there's a strainer/sifter somewhere in the kitchen Sue?? (Unless of course, there could have been "other" contaminates on the cupboard top?) :🙂

To be honest Kevo I have had a really crappy couple of days and it was kind of the straw that broke the camels back, I was beyond giving a toss and it was pure luck that the tamper didn't end up going through the kitchen window. It's just been one of those rough patches 🙁.

I know the feeling ;D

Yup, "been there done that". :-[ It's just as well that knowing "those rough patches" allow an appreciation and enjoyment of the many smooth ones in life. :coffee2: :thumb: :thumb:
