This morning the Warbler from Columbia is singing in the cup. This is a cup of coffee that Juan Valdez could only dream about. This is one of the most balanced cups of coffee I have had in a long time. Velvet smooth from start to finish. And Oh!, that dark maple syrup finish almost wants me to skip the beginning of the cup.

I made a thermos of FC+ roasted Brazil Yellow Bourbon which is sitting on my counter at home, where I accidentally left it. Drinking Flavia Sidomo Gold from the single serve machine at work right now. :( On 5/7/08, Les wrote: <Snip> Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures 9upload yours!) :http://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
Mine was a truly magnificent PNG Kimel. Roasted last week to Full City, brewed 44 grams in a French Press, ground a bit finer than drip. Quite a fine, smooth chocolatey cup, more than the roast has had up to now. <Snip> -- Jason Brooks jbrookshttp://javajeb.wordpress.comHomeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures 9upload yours!) :http://www.homeroasting.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
Yup, I just did it- Forgot to do this roast last night. Actually, I was afraid, very much so. Last summer, I had nearly finished a bag of origin _*X*_ greens and just had enough [75g] for a good-sized FR batch. I didn't want to clutter the stash, so I put 'em in a sandwich ZipLoc. I kept the empty SM bag with label but... then we moved. The beans looked nice and green, sure smelled nice. What were they? Whatever, I just roasted them to a C+ in 12:26. >Stretched< it to make sure 1st was all done. Now, for a Steinway, and I'll guess what I've got. 75g roasted/86g green = 13% loss of mass, apx. Nice brown, no sheen at all, yet. "Probably almost certainly," this is one of the gloriously smooth Panamas or Centrals, but it's none of the Africans. My Carpeso doesn't do espresso right now, so the Green Stripe awaits further developments. Cheers, Mabuhay -RayO, aka Opa!
