So 11g for 22ml - `2026-07-27 21:26` `#1513307859658477568` Nope, what your tasting is green. All our latins are approached exactly the same. for the quality of green we're working with eveything is extremely simlar in density and moisture.. so we really don't change much on our roast approach between latins - `2026-07-27 21:29` `#what-are-you-brewing` Carlos isn't hot in any way that coffee for me is quite clean in terms of fermentation Marlene has more than Edid most of the time. Edid is also fermented in tiny buckets and then blended so there is also quite a bit of variability in levels of fermentation cup to cup - `2026-07-27 23:31` `#equipment` haha this is fully outta my lane... definitely other people on this channel that will know a lot more about grinders than me. green coffee, roasting coffee, tasting coffee... these are all me. haha grinders I'll defer to the community and <@839279408057024512> - `2026-07-27 23:39` `#equipment` haha yes definitely wrong lance - `2026-07-27 23:39` `#equipment` ha oh i like it... but honestly i use it mostly to cup ha [Back to index](#index) ## lancehedrick _No messages captured._ ## opp4004 - `2026-07-27 02:28` `#what-are-you-brewing` Halo Hartume must have been roasted incredibly light—my grinder is screaming - `2026-07-27 02:37` `#what-are-you-brewing` And it's definitely roasted extremely light. I think it might actually be the lightest-roasted Ethiopian coffee I've ever had from Sey - `2026-07-27 02:43` `#what-are-you-brewing` It's definitely on the lighter side in terms of roast. I normally don't bother with long rest times, but this is one of those coffees that makes me wonder if I should've rested it a bit longer. I can definitely see why some people might find the flavor progression a bit subdued, but to me it's an incredibly well-designed cup. It opens with a distinctly bergamot-like character, then transitions into a tea profile that reminds me specifically of Zhangping Shuixian, a Chinese oolong, alongside botanical lemongrass and concentrated white peach. I'm also getting a hint of white currant. The note separation isn't particularly high, but I actually like the way everything comes together as a cohesive tea-like profile. It almost reminds me of Hong Kong milk tea in that sense. And the lingering oolong aroma that comes through in the finish is especially beautiful. - `2026-07-27 02:57` `#what-are-you-brewing` I'm usually pretty impatient when it comes to resting coffee, but this one might actually deserve a little more time - `2026-07-27 03:39` `#what-are-you-brewing` Aklilu Admassu from Yihonal Coffee (or Heroes Coffee) is exactly the kind of Gonjobe coffee I was talking about. The quality is on a completely different level - `2026-07-27 03:40` `#what-are-you-brewing` How's NAI ZUI's roasting? I've never had a chance to try it - `2026-07-27 03:44` `#what-are-you-brewing` Have you tried Marus? It seems like they have some kind of exclusive access to coffees from Gonjobe as well - `2026-07-27 03:52` `#what-are-you-brewing` I wouldn’t really recommend Flying Puma. You can cross it off the list - `2026-07-27 03:55` `#what-are-you-brewing` Big Sur has two Honduran Geshas available right now. I'd recommend both of them. They're grown by Wilmer Grau and his mother, they've placed in the Cup of Excellence multiple times, and perhaps most importantly, the Gesha seed they planted originally came from Panama. (Pil Hoon Seu of Coffee Libre helped source the planting seed, and if I remember correctly, it came from one of the well-known Panamanian farms—I just can't remember which one.) - `2026-07-27 03:58` `#what-are-you-brewing` I only pay about $4 for shipping - `2026-07-27 03:59` `#what-are-you-brewing` Ah... Sky Project. It was pretty popular last year, but honestly, I didn't notice a huge difference - `2026-07-27 04:00` `#what-are-you-brewing` Honestly, the high-altitude Gedeb that SEY released left a stronger impression on me - `2026-07-27 04:03` `#what-are-you-brewing` Strictly speaking, most of the coffees from that area are already high-altitude coffees anyway... so honestly, I think "Sky Project" is more of a marketing term - `2026-07-27 04:41` `#what-are-you-brewing` It's a completely different coffee region from Santa Barbara, so I would definitely recommend it. I actually tried another Bourbon from the same producer(Wilmer Grau), and the quality was excellent. Even though it was a Bourbon, it reminded me more of Ecuadorian mejorado in terms of flavor. Interestingly, in the Cup of Excellence, his mother Joaquin has generally achieved better results than her son Wilmer. - `2026-07-27 05:33` `#what-are-you-brewing` Attachments: - [IMG_1588.jpg](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1483078064119222384/1531142571613618376/IMG_1588.jpg?ex=6a70b4e4&is=6a6f6364&hm=3b794f6023897d4d6e3c720fa7829d78839651fc4d990414ced4d3582fadf204&) (image/jpeg 2160x2880) - `2026-07-27 05:45` `#what-are-you-brewing` This coffee is from El Cambalache, a farm in Nicaragua, and the variety is Maracaturra. It was also the 1st place winner of this year's Nicaragua Cup of Excellence (Of course, the 1st place this year was for their Gesha. Their Maracaturra has also performed very well in previous competitions) - `2026-07-27 05:55` `#what-are-you-brewing` The combination of shrub rose-like florals and apricot is incredibly elegant. There's also a slight grape-like character. The oily texture and nutty sweetness remind me a bit of El Injerto's Gesha. I’m also getting a hint of light chocolate in the aroma - `2026-07-27 15:52` `#what-are-you-brewing` How do you like MOK? - `2026-07-27 15:58` `#what-are-you-brewing` Really? The last time I had MOK was probably about five years ago. I remember their roasting being very nordic-style - `2026-07-27 16:02` `#what-are-you-brewing` Manhattan makes some amazing coffees, but the consistency can be hit or miss - `2026-07-27 16:03` `#what-are-you-brewing` Johan & Nyström and Prolog are probably two of the roasters in Europe known for exceptionally light roasts. I'm a big fan of Johan & Nyström, although I don't think their current lineup is particularly exciting. As for Prolog... I've run into underdevelopment almost every time I've tried them, so I can't really recommend them - `2026-07-27 16:05` `#what-are-you-brewing` It's kind of ironic. EU used to be the place importing the most exciting coffees in the world, but things have changed quite a bit - `2026-07-27 16:06` `#what-are-you-brewing` I was always jealous of places like Koppi and Drop back then - `2026-07-27 16:07` `#what-are-you-brewing` Well, at least Belgium still has amazing beer and Deewee... I'm still jealous - `2026-07-27 16:08` `#what-are-you-brewing` I always dream about going to Rock Werchter every year - `2026-07-27 16:09` `#what-are-you-brewing` BELCO also has some fantastic coffees, so there are still plenty of great coffees coming out of the EU - `2026-07-27 16:13` `#what-are-you-brewing` Java lover - `2026-07-27 16:14` `#what-are-you-brewing` El Socorro's Java... The last one I tried had notes of green tea, plum, and citrus - `2026-07-27 16:15` `#what-are-you-brewing` Regalia's Biru Bekele also looks interesting - `2026-07-27 16:18` `#what-are-you-brewing` If Gout & Co were available on Taobao (like Cupping Room), I would definitely try buying some - `2026-07-27 16:21` `#what-are-you-brewing` I’ll just get it from Big Sur and pay the $4 shipping - `2026-07-27 16:26` `#what-are-you-brewing` Miraflores honey was really good - `2026-07-27 16:31` `#what-are-you-brewing` Well… I bought another bag of Gachiku and froze it right away after tasting it - `2026-07-27 16:32` `#what-are-you-brewing` I have a feeling there might be even better coffees coming next year. Peter is still being pretty secretive about the process [Back to index](#index) ## dougssg _No messages captured._ ## naomi (car7iern) - `2026-07-27 14:35` `#what-are-you-brewing` Right now I think we're right at a month rest. Oscillates between two weeks-month depending on changes is seasons. But also, we store our coffee in cambros, not sealed bags [Back to index](#index)
