Do you folks like coffee?

[goroth]

I was a barista for nearly 10 years, and I remain a proud coffee snob.

I'm all over the map when it comes to growing regions. Lately I've been enjoying a nice Tarrazu from Costa Rica.

As far as brewing methods, I've got most everything you could imagine at home but I mostly use either a Chemex or Clever dripper.

Yep. When I'm not using one of the moka pots I use a 2 cup Clever Dripper. Fantastic thing, but I'm only going to start using it more when I get a better grinder.

I enjoy a good cup of La Minita myself.

La Minita rules.

Rwanda Karenge is the bean of the week this week.
Never tried a bean from Rwanda, so this should be fun.

There's some Rwanda at my local shop right now (Octane in ATL).

Please report back!

Ordered a french press for fun, never used one before

How do you like the Clever? What is the noticeable difference between pour over and immersion?

Emailed Macaroni Island two days ago and still haven't heard anything about them beans. I'm gonna feel real shitty filing a paypal dispute against a non-profit.

You're gonna have some fun.

Yeah, dude, that's kinda messed up. I hope they send you your coffee quick.

I mean, I can ask Michael about it today. I'm going to his house later.

It's great!
I'm no good at describing things.
But it had... good smells.
And good tastes.
It was good.

SO ENLIGHTENING.

hahahahah

Rwanda is great. It's very floral, but without being as perfumy as Yirgacheffe, and with less black currant tones than Kenya. Nice lemony acidity, but not too high. Really good all round coffee that works with most brewing methods. Smooth.

This was exactly what I meant!
Hahaha.
Not really, I'm quite the novice when it comes to describing coffees.
Thanks for expressing that, it all sounds accurate.

Got some Columbia Narino Excelso I'm into right now. Very butter-y and brown sugar-y. I discovered a local roaster and love getting coffee the day it was roasted.

[Chankgeez]

Like bread.

Mac Island finally pulled through. Looking forward to my first Ethiopian.

I'm bummed it took so long for you to get it, but I'm stoked you've got it.
I hope you love it!
