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!

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???

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. On Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 9:23 AM, Marty Wooten wrote: <Snip> -- -Kevin /* Never argue with an idiot.

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.

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.
