Coffee

I’ve have been ordering from these guys lately….
 
I’ve have been ordering from these guys lately….
I've ordered green coffee from them a long while back when first getting started and remember it being pretty consistent, so I'd imagine their roasted coffee would be good too
 
I recently made a sizable investment in making more consistently good coffee. My old Ninja, carafe style coffee maker finally broke, my wife replaced it with a cheap hotplate style from Bi-Mart. I got rid of it after two weeks because the quality of coffee was so much worse.

I bought the Fellow Aiden coffee maker and their Opus burr grinder. What a difference! They say it produces pour over quality without the learning curve (and the time) and I can taste the difference, best coffee I have had outside of specialty shops.

My favorite beans all come from a local roaster in central Oregon that makes small batch, wood-fire, roasted coffee beans. This is my current favorite.

That does sound like a sizable investment, but their stuff seems well made and I don't see many complaints aside from the price. I've messed around with fire roasting a bit and it is quite a challenge. It adds even more variables to the process. If they have it figured out, then that's pretty cool.

Guatemalan Huehuetenango
Sumatra Mandheling
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Kochere

There is a local roaster a few mins from my house where I get all my beans. My favorite from them is also from Papua New Guinea. I recently gifted some to some friends that are also coffee aficionados in Minnesota. This local roaster is the best I’ve found anywhere so far. They roast beans from all over the world. A few of the African countries produce some really good batches as well. This place usually has several varieties to choose from. The way I go about selecting my next batch is I smell the beans through the bag. If it smells good, it’ll most likely taste good. That’s why I hate buying coffee over the mail.

My routine every morning consists of grinding, weighing then brewing whatever latest batch I happen to have in an Aero Press XL. It’s a ritual I look forward to. I’m going to look up your roaster to see if I can order some just based on your description. Thank you for sharing that!

If you like the Aeropress try the Cleaver Dripper XL. I was an Aeropress fan UNTIL I got a Cleaver Dripper.

Glad to help with the recommendation, hope you enjoy them!
 
FYI for anyone interested in trying the small batch wood-fire roasted beans from my local, boutique roaster. They are now offering 15% off your first order when you sign up on their website. I am going to order a bunch to keep me caffeinated for a while, and I will get a bag to share here for the Christmas swap.
