Topic: [Homeroast] Wednesday morning cup (42 msgs / 785 lines)
1) From: John Despres
IMV, City +, rested 12 twelve hours, French Press - Nice fruitiness, 
blueberry at the fore, a bit of chocolate, nice apricot aftertaste.
I was washing dishes as my six year old was watching his pancakes cook 
this morning. He picked up the French Press from the counter with the 
wet grounds still in it, pulled the plunger and commented how good it 
smelled. I asked him if it smelled a little like blueberry.
"No, Daddy, It smells a lot like blueberry."
Yes!

3) From: Paul Helbert
Kona Kowali, rested overnight, City+ & Full City (was aiming at Full City+),
brewed w/ Cona II tabletop did not roast 2nd batch long enough to get the
chocolate but I love the mouth feel of this stuff. Nice hardwood forest
aftertaste lingers after half an hour or more.

Tom,
I am enjoying the new crop of Kenya Githumbwini.  Today after 5 days rest,
there is an incredible chocolate finish.  Nice crystal crisp brightness,
descending into a complex deep fruitiness followed by chocolate.  It doesn't
get much better!  With the CoE coffees just around the corner, can there be
too much of a good thing?

Aged Sumatra Lintong, rested 48 hours.  Attributing it to the 48 hr point,
but it is pretty mellow this morning.  Lots of body, but the "wildness" is
subdued today.  Interesting today, we'll see about tomorrow...
So, what's in your cup today???

I have blown my Wednesday morning cup.  I roasted up the last of my
Guatemala Acatenango - Buena Vista Gesha.  It was from my first order and I
had over roasted it the first two tries.  This time I think I nailed a
beautiful C/C+.  I rested it 3 days and I was sooooo looking forward to this
first cup, this morning.  Well, I put too little coffee in relative to water
and it's weak and a little bitter.  Why do you have to make the first pot of
coffee without benefit of the first cup of coffee???
There's always tomorrow!

Sumatra Blue Batak "Tarbarita" Peaberry, roasted to FC with two days rest (I
ran completely out while moving last week and couldn't even reach my coffee
roasting equipment amongst the boxes), ground in my office Zass, and brewed
in my office AP.  So much better than the swill I had to settle for last
weekend (one cup was enough...I declined to stoop to such low levels the
rest of the time)...

I'm enjoying a cup of Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe Kochere District roasted 10 days
ago in the Behmor to C+, and brewed up in a thrift find vac pot I just got.
It's really lovely; bright and citrus-y.  And I'm really enjoying the vac
pot, especially for these bright Ethiopians.  It really lets them sing.

This morning was:
Costa Rica La Candelilla Estate Gesha
El Salvador Cup of Excellence – Siberia
Brazil Coromandel – Fazenda Sao Joao
All excellent, but when I poured a bit of the fresh brewed Brazil into
a cup to sample, I was stunned by the aroma - FRESH MILK!  Never
detected that aroma before, especially in black coffee.  Sure was good
though ...

be espressos and Cappos with some of the new Yemen coffees!

I really want to keep this tradition going.  I am enjoying a very sweet
mellow cup of Panama SHB Las Victorias this morning.  Nice complex cup with
a hint of banana, followed by some just plain good coffee tastes decending
into a slight bittersweet chocolate finishing with a brown sugar chocolate
aftertaste.  With Tom down to only 4 Centrals, maybe I shouldn't be bragging
this one up too much.  I sure like a good Panama.  Next up on the roasting
schedule is the last pound of Panama Gehsa Mama Cata from last year.  Yum
Yum!

I'm sharing some Qishr with the office this morning. People by and large are
enjoying it.
I pulled about 12 complete but tiny coffee cherries out my bag when sorted
it out this morning. I cracked most of them open with my nails and some of
them were the tiniest little beans you can imagine, quite a few peaberries
but very tiny regular half beans. The small cherries slipped through their
processing, I guess. Another dozen or so loose beans in the bag.
I'm going to try sprouting them, but I'm guessing these tiny guys are
incomplete and won't grow.

I'm drinking an AP cup of Kenya Thika - Gethumbwini Peaberry and I'm just
not loving it.  It's too...something.  Winey?  Maybe.  I also taste some
asparagus in it, which I'm not enjoying.  Maybe it's just not for me.  I
haven't hit it with this bean yet.  I'm not getting fruit bomb at all.  This
batch was roasted in the Behmor to FC last Friday.  I've tried it across a
range of roasts C -> FC, though I haven't taken it into 2nd crack.  I'll try
that next - maybe then it will be the magic juice.  Right now it's just meh.

I've been swimming in Panama coffees this week, taking advantage of a 
friend of mine's generosity (he "forced" some leftover samples from Novo 
Coffee on me).  Panama Finca Carmen and Panama Donna Berta Boquette.  
Both made outstanding vac pots, but the Finca Carmen stood out--the 
sweet, honey and caramel aftertaste left me (almost) sated after the 
first cup I drank at home--so much I did not feel obliged to take 
another sip from the travel mug until I was a half an hour into the 
drive to work.  Definitely got to get my hands on more of this stuff.

Am enjoying some Indonesian Flores - Bajawa Highlands, roasted in an 
iRoast2 I just picked up via eBay, to what looks like FC+ (was aiming 
for a lighter roast via its "lighter" Preset 1 but it still went 
over--chaff got by the collector and started clogging the vent on the 
top).  Opened the Bell jar it had been sitting in after a day-and-a-half 
rest and was greeted by a nice chocolatey aroma, and brewed via FP as 
usual.  Not a total chocolate bomb but still very nice, and much better 
than the first batch I had roasted earlier this month in the now-defunct 
air popcorn popper, which came out flat.

Inspired by Dennis' offering, I dug up the ol' Mexico Don Eduardo
Oaxaca and roasted it up on the 20th.  Today, I'm getting some almond
nuttiness, some chocolate, a juicy aspect.

Some Mandheling roasted Sunday morning.  I had been finishing some
Mandheling roasted on about the 17th, so today's cup was awesome!  Amazing
what a difference there is in coffee that is 11 days old and coffee that is
three days old!  Using the AP since I'm on the road.  Don't get the full
array of flavors like in the FP, but still awesome.  Full bodied, earthy,
and just great.  bill
when I get home, I'll roast either the Yirga Cheffe Konga or the Harar...
it's time for some lighter fruited coffees.

Awfully nice body to that cup.

Gee how ho-hum, I'm kind of in a first cup of the morning rut. Today was
Pan' Esmeralda Gesha, yesterday Guat' Gesha.
Make that yo-yum not ho-hum:-)

I think I nailed a FC roast of the last of the Ethiopian Sidamo, with the
HG/MB (deep mixer bowl). At 4 days, it worked well blended with Monkey blend
in my transition Carpesso thingy. A couple of Duesenberg hose clamps keep it
on the road- barely- but the flavor was all there.
This morning, the E. Sidamo was huge by itself in a Steinway, just a large
mug of Fabulous. Caiff 'n wellwell- at 3:10, 3:35, 4:05- it kept getting
better as it brewed in the Gold mesh filter in the TV.
I'm sure the espresso will taste better when I quit having to use coat
hangers to Zip tie my dang machine together- Grr.
Cheers, Mabuhay -RayO, aka Opa!
I welcome the Freudian increment.
