CounterCulture's El Gavilan as a pourover or press; Toscano as an espresso. The Gavilan is nice and clean, with light, pure flavors, and is excellent iced. The Toscano is a lovely sweet Snickers bar of caramel, nuts and chocolate, good in milk or as a straight shot. Both very nice with a cigar.

Ain't that the way it is? Sucks!
New Coffee! FT Rwanda Cafe Femenino

Roasted 2 days ago to FC, drip, Silk and then dollop in 2nd cup. Pretty nice, smooth and mild, with a mouthfeel that improves as the cup cools. Frm Klatch, produced by all female farmers.

Bodhi Leaf Rwandan!

Nice smooth and oh so tasty!

This morning was Kenya Nyeri AA Gotomboya at FC.
It was reccomended for City to FC but it seems like I prefer these Kenyans at FC+. This was real good but not great. It improved very much as it cooled.
The last 2 Kenyans I did at city+ & FC tasted a littl grassy.

BSB · 04-21-2012, 10:29 AM

Not buying any Kenyans. The "trendy" coffee, overpriced, overhyped. And, I don't care much for them

I dont know about "trendy". I had no idea

The 2 varieties I got last season were excelent. This year they seem a little "green" taste to them. Still pretty decent though. It seemed better today w/ 5 days rest.

Iced caramel while at Chocolate World in Hershey.

Colombia Guterriez micro lot

AWESOME cup! Smooth, sweet, with hints of maple. This is, for sure, a favorite.

Tough to beat?? I just got Sumatra Lake Toba 19+ Ulos for $6.56 a pound, I'll fresh roast it and it will be so good as to be uncompareable to that sludge you are drinking

I am cold brewing a pot of Peru Andes Reserve.
I had a FP cup this morning, pretty tasty.

Anybody ever try cold brewing?

Nope. What is it? Just cold water instead of hot?

Basically you brew coffee with time instead of heat. It takes anywhere from 12-24 hours at room temperature to steep. You steep the ground coffee with room temperature water. There are many different techniques and recipes, but the one I am trying is after the steep you filter and mix with water (or milk) 1:1, pour over ice and enjoy. This is reported to be the only way to make amazing iced coffee. I have some steeping now, I will update tomorrow!

I am drinking cold brew iced Peru Andes Reserve.
WOW, this is soo good and sweet and smooth. I added some milk instead of water and tried it with and without some sugar. This is soo flavorful! Now to scale it up, went and purchased a gold filter and container last night.

That is perfect!
The El Salvador, with 3, AWESOME!!

BSB · 04-25-2012, 10:46 AM

I make cold press by the gallon, awesome. Great flavor, no acidity.
El Salvador El Carrizal Roasted 2 days ago to FC, drip, Silk. Very nice cup, "like chocolate covered in cherries." Should be better tomorrow, with a little more rest to settle the brightness.
