I've always had a soft spot for coffees from Jimma, but their quality dropped quite dramatically a few years ago. Nowadays, only Gera Estate and a handful of single producers seem to consistently maintain the standard that originally made me fall in love with the region. This cup is all about peach. Peach Oolong, peach cobbler, even that slightly underripe peach character—they're all woven together beautifully. It also has the black tea note that's so characteristic of coffees from Jimma, while the finish brings a subtle tropical fruit quality. It may not quite capture the magic of Jimma at its peak, but it's still an undeniably charming and enjoyable cup.

They asked me to review the coffee before they even started selling it online 😂 - `2026-07-02 04:25` `#what-are-you-brewing` It's a roastery called Coffee Drinking Whale. I think they just launched their online store yesterday - `2026-07-02 05:43` `#what-are-you-brewing` Today's Soup: La Estrella Pink Bourbon. Well... every coffee ends up being soup for me anyway. 😂 This is a fairly straightforward cup. I'm getting raspberry, lime, and something reminiscent of Golden Medal apple juice. Nothing especially flashy, but it's clean, pleasant, and easy to enjoy. - `2026-07-02 05:48` `#what-are-you-brewing` Hahaha, right?! At the very least, my recipe never fails. I can always enjoy the coffee, no matter what - `2026-07-02 05:49` `#what-are-you-brewing` - `2026-07-02 05:57` `#what-are-you-brewing` Yeah, I don't really pay attention to things like TBT - `2026-07-02 06:07` `#what-are-you-brewing` Exactly, 360ml. It's a loooooooooong soup. 😂 - `2026-07-02 06:26` `#what-are-you-brewing` This is just from my own experience—I don’t really know the exact reason behind it. 😂 But I suspect it might have something to do with pressure inside the basket or how much water is retained in the system. I’ve noticed that when the chamber is completely emptied and refilled, the brew sometimes feels a bit lighter or more diluted in concentration - `2026-07-02 06:27` `#what-are-you-brewing` I think it would be great if OXO released a larger chamber in addition to the small basket - `2026-07-02 06:28` `#what-are-you-brewing` That way, when I’m making my kind of looooooooooong soup, it would be less hassle—and I think the results would be much more consistent too - `2026-07-02 06:35` `#what-are-you-brewing` Yeah, I think so too. It feels like having a steady, continuous flow of water is better than letting air get mixed in midway - `2026-07-02 06:36` `#current-menu` It was the best Kenyan coffee I had last year - `2026-07-02 06:41` `#current-menu` These were the tasting notes I wrote down last year: White Currant, Honeysuckle, Plum, Crisp, Pink Peppercorn, Groundcover Rose, and Bergamot - `2026-07-02 07:33` `#what-are-you-brewing` One of my friends actually tried it already. 😂 He said that without something like an O-ring, it tends to leak a bit [Back to index](#index) ## dougssg - `2026-07-02 23:15` `#current-menu` Sub exclusives past and present aren’t really about making any bag quantity more enticing but more about volumes of lots we want to put in as exclusives. Less subscribers at 4 or 5 bags so if we have a lot that makes sense there, easier to do than a lot for 1 bag which requires more volume. - `2026-07-02 23:17` `#current-menu` Ibonia was exclusive. Quispe was as well. - `2026-07-02 23:18` `#current-menu` We have some interesting convos in works as far as exclusives in subs. Always remember that we are still a tiny tiny company thoughts and the scale of what we do is pretty unprecedented regardless of size. We’re looking 300 lots a year. - `2026-07-02 23:19` `#current-menu` The support we get from all of you is how it’s possible but there are just pure operational concerns for anything that may improve the sub on the margins. This isn’t to downplay anything anyone is saying- just saying we only have so much time and we have many things we’re working on and looking to improve at all times. - `2026-07-02 23:21` `#current-menu` A good example of how things work- sometimes(always?) you guys want to know what we’re releasing on a Monday. Or a Tuesday. We genuinely may not even know, and have to figure it out and prep the cards and website and wholesale newsletter etc when we figure it out Wednesday morning. [Back to index](#index)
