Coffee

I think I am good for the rest of the month! These are the unopened bags in my cabinet. The Kaldi Espresso 700 is a local purchase that can be traded!

Here's some ordered (2nd) from the advertisement I saw in GotSteel's article he linked. First order I really enjoyed. I've really expanded the coffee brands here at home, thanks to all of you.

Monofletch, One of the coffees I sent was local. They opened their first coffee shop a half block from where I work. The other was found from the coffee review article posted by GotSteel.

Link? Can't seem to find said article link. TIA! :thumbup:
 
I have an idea.
What if we had a coffee exchange like the secret santa we did at Christmas. It doesn't have to be a big expensive thing - just a bag of beans. We can draw names and mix it up a bit.
I figure it will take a while to get it together. If you want to participate post up then send me an email ssjs678@yahoo with your shipping info. Towards the end of the month I will draw names. What do you say?

All this coffee talk made me thirsty. Had to try the Joe Bean Ethiopian Chelelektu. Quite the fruity overtones..VERY GOOD
 
I decided to try some of the Brazilian Santos beans first. Being fairly new to this, it's still neat to see how much larger the beans get when roasted.

This is the bottom of the mug that Josh sent me from his coffee shop. Checking out their website, they offer a large variety of styles and colors. I had seen these types of stoneware mugs for sale before and never really got why they were so expensive. When you see how nice they are in person and realize that they are handmade here in the US, it makes a lot more sense.
 
Finally got a minute to get back on here and catch up.
Yes, Steve, I definitely enjoyed the coffe you sent.
And Mono, I'm in.
 
I'd like to be in, but... :foot:

I'm down to only having some "older" green beans around the house now, as I've resolved not to buy any more green coffee until it's ALL gone! :eek: (Or very nearly so.) At one point middle of last year, I had a backlog of over 55 pounds of green coffee, and it was getting out of control. :o I'm down to about 15 pounds now, so getting closer. :rolleyes:

So, as long as nobody would object to one pound (pre-roast weight) of green coffee that is about a year old, but freshly home-roasted, I'm in. This would amount to about 3/4 pound of fresh-roasted coffee beans. I would even allow the recipient to choose from a handful of origin options prior to roasting. :)

Properly stored green coffee (cool, dark, dry location) doesn't really lose much in the way of flavors for quite awhile. A year isn't really a big deal. Mine is kept in a plastic shelves, in a closet. I've recently had some where the greens were upwards of 3 years old (never had anything mor than 2 years previous to this), and when comparing tasting notes to that of the beans that were roasted back when the green was "fresh", all I've really noticed is a bit of a mellowing of the origin characteristics. Still good coffee, much better than most you get.

So let me know!
 
Just had a Burundi from Toby Estate and it was the first Burundi I've had that made me think "now I know why people like this!"
 
I have had the other end were you think..."How the hell can people drink this" :D Like the last time I had a sugary Starbucks concauction.
