|
Good afternoon folks.
Today I'm expecting my eight pound sampler from Sweet Maria's but was
wondering if there is a "better" (so to speak) coffee to experiment
with. Something in the five pound range. Or perhaps it shouldn't
take me five pounds to figure all this out???
This weekend I'll be experiementing with the Toastmaster popcorn
popper. I'm still waiting for my drum for the grill.
Thanks.
Ward

And that is exactly what I was thinking. Depending on your tastes (and
method of brewing), Colombian can be drinkable all the way from around
first crack all the way to just this side of burnt.

I've found that most good Kenya beans can handle a pretty wide range
of roasts from a Cinnamon all the way to a Full City+. You can
experiment without throwing too much in the trash.

Set aside the samplers. Get 5 lbs of a SM SO or blend that sounds good
to you. Roast small batches to get the hang of your roaster, hone your
cupping skills, learn about resting times, adjust your brewing/shot
pulling, and so on. So many variables at play that a consistent green
is at least one that you can control absolutely.

so often I hang out in lurk mode (gaining wisdom from others
in this forum, grasshopper..). this is a good question, as I
predominantly roast celebes, and look for a 'new' taste from
time to time. for a very long time I've been completely turned
off of columbian coffee, if only due to the marketing dept. of
any/all store shelf bought, pre grounded, stuff ("the richest,
most aromatic coffee"), and have had it stuck in my mind
that even if I roasted comumbian, it would come out like, well,
folgers.
the latest bean I've been trying are the brazilian vareity. yummy,
and good to mix with other beans.

i understand, and this is really unfortunate, because there are really
fantastic colombian coffees.
