Adrianmsmith ST30B Ah, the Nicaraguan isnt my cup of tea ☕🤔 Wont reorder that one. Not “bad” just not really for me. Were never all going to like the same….. I too have difficulty describing taste. Need to find a tasting course.
ST30B Adrianmsmith The Nicaraguan was ideal in the aeropress for me and nice for an occasional flat white with the fruit profile. I am actually going to order more of the Costa Rican as it’s actually improved during rest time. I think it was just my initial comparison to last years that influenced my reaction. Just slightly lighter would be ideal for me in a flat white.
Uncletits Adrianmsmith listening to everyone I ordered a kilo of Las Palomas and got it delivered yesterday but sadly I got the box of death instead. Happily David at Black Cat called me, apologised and organised a new bag
InfamousTuba A couple of bags of coffee from scenery to try, the Kenya is about the same colour as Wendelboe and the Ethiopia is lighter than that. Still a bit fresh to tuck into so will wait maybe until friday
MWJB Systemic If it’s anything like the Fellow version, always have the brewer on a good fitting cup/carafe, rather than a brew stand. The stream can wander a bit & miss the cup.
Adrianmsmith Uncletits hope it doesn’t distract from your first impressions when you get the actual shipment. Im liking it still!!
Systemic Just tried it out. Used same grind level I use for normal cap. Thought it would be harder to press down but it wasn’t. So far so good.
ST30B Going to put another order in @ blackcat. I’ve had the Nicaraguan/costa rican. Has anyone had any of the other current offerings?
MattH After all the comments I also bought a kilo / had a couple and I am tasting quite derk chocolate which for me is amazing….. did also like the coffee sweets (which I should not be eating)
