Of the 4 different varieties I have had from S.M. only 1 of them has been "just ok" the others have been great. Love the blueberries.

The Gedeo Worka is from Klatch. Described as a "bowl full of berries, plus cherry"

Mr B · 02-06-2012, 05:38 PM

Nice!

BSB · 02-06-2012, 05:50 PM

I'm hoping

cupping on Wed

Ethiopia Harar OCFCU (Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union) American roast. It's got that berry/winey thing going on like the best Harar does. And it's fair Trade. Gotta like that.

BSB · 02-08-2012, 10:47 AM

Ethiopia Gedeo Worka

roasted 2 days ago to city+, drip, splash, then dollop, then a pinch of sugar

I confess! The coffee just wasn't doing it this morning, so I added just a pinch of sugar and BAM!

Like I poured cherry brandy into my cup, just AWESOME!
I've gotten the brandy before, but not from this coffee, from an ES Elida Natural, and this is even more pronounced.
From Klatch and still available, I believe.

Chainsaw13 · 02-08-2012, 01:18 PM

El Savador Nazareth, from a local roaster.

BSB · 02-09-2012, 09:36 AM

Ethiopia GW, with 3, no sugar needed today, cherry, berries, hints of brandy, all there. Excellent cup!

Mr B · 02-09-2012, 12:35 PM

Ethiopia DP Sidama Aleta Wando at Full City. One of my Fav's

Blak Smyth · 02-10-2012, 07:15 AM

Espresso Monkey Blend, this is the best smelling bean I have roasted. It drinks very well also. I recommend this blend. The only issue is it doesn't roast perfectly even but it still drinks well.

Blak Smyth · 02-10-2012, 08:53 AM

Making another press now! Really good!

smitty81 · 02-10-2012, 09:50 AM

I got a bag of Jamaican Blue Mountian brought back from Jamaica. I should grind some up soon.

Different beans in the blend will roast differently, cause the "uneven" roast I inquired with Klatch, why their blends were not available green and was informed that theirs are blended post roast.

The sooner you drink it, the better it should be. Coffee gets stale. I rarely drink coffee more than a week old.
The Ethiopia GW, with 4, is excellent. All the wonderful flavors, more body and richness. Good cup!

BSB · 02-10-2012, 10:15 AM

I am not pleased, when a SO doesn't roast even.
Almost all of that wonderful brandy flavor has diminished in the GW

Still an excellent cup, but that brandy was very nice. Such a rare treat.
And it was rum, not brandy in the ES Elida natural, which was a very rare treat. Might have to roast up a batch of that next. Just roasted yesterday, so Sun.

ApexAZ · 02-12-2012, 01:24 PM

Drinking a dunkin iced mocha because I didn't have time to make any this morning. Its pretty disgusting.

BSB · 02-12-2012, 01:38 PM

CR Finca BV, with 3, excellent

Crazy thing about this coffee, there is a very strong nutty dry aroma, there is no nuttiness at all, in the cup.

GoodFella · 02-12-2012, 01:46 PM

A free cup from the D-fac. Its one of the best cups i have had in a while. I have been stuck in BMT where i only got to smell coffee. so its nice to be able to sit down and have a cup.

BSB · 02-13-2012, 09:53 AM

CR FBV, with 4, the best of the 3 days. More sweetness, less rind in the citrus. This is a really good cup

New coffee tomorrow

ApexAZ · 02-13-2012, 10:08 AM

Still drinking the India Poabs Organic Seethargundu Estate. So far it has been one of my least favorites. I kind of overroasted it slightly, so next batch I will try something closer to full city.
