-Mac Perhaps he has access to the albums for some reason….or your google drive whatever service you have used. Hotlinking from google doesn’t really work…the best way is to download it and drag and drop from your computer…you can delete the download afterwards.

I’ve tried in Chrome, Firefox and Edge, cannot see it in any of them

    -Mac From the online google site, or your PC? If it was from the online site, that doesn’t work, Google photos just copies and pastes some huge link. This is what it shows as the image link when I copy the link in your post, click details to see the huge google link.

    And hence why it can’t be seen…there are online services that will create direct image links from google photos for you…or just download, drag/drop, or cut paste from PC/Phone, then delete em from the download directory.

    -Mac

    I can see it on my phone (Samsung), but it’s not showing on my laptop.

    I also can’t see it on my android, chrome browser.

    Good. Thanks all :)

    dfk41 Got a chance to pick up a bag but was afraid… hows the taste?

      After nearly a year ‘trying’ to pour some latte art. Although not so much the art itself, more getting the milk texturing correct!!!!!!!

      The beans are some of my very first ‘try’ at roasting. Very enjoyable. At least I am using the freshest of beans!!

      Otaibimn MM is a pretty unique bean. Best described as having a smokey taste with good crema. Over the years I find it pours best as a nice thick, gloupy bean but if you really want a treat, 18 gms, but have 2 cups. Collect the first 5 seconds of the pour, switch cups and then collect the next 17 seconds that you drink, and then discard the rest. if this works out, you will collect the sweet spot and it is pretty good!
      Java Jampit also works really well using the above method!

        Thanks for that. I have never ended up with a nice thick crema. I dose 18gm, over 25-30 seconds. Usually takes 6-10 seconds to first drip. Try not to ‘chase’ variables too much, but never a thick gloopy extraction??

          Ratio 1:2 I’m sure I am using a suitable grind. Any finer and it takes over 10seconds for first drips. Then approx 36-38gm out in as near 30 seconds. A couple of mm of crema, but never that gloopy thick extraction.

          This is an old photo from 2009. I don’t even know why I like it: the focus isn’t completely right, there is no latte art, the texture is probably wrong as I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t even take the picture. I just put the camera in my wife’s hands and asked her to take a closeup shot of the milk pour. But for some reason I like the photo and I think it makes the coffee look lush.

            Dogs in the backyard. Reminds me of things I love which includes our home, the dogs and family (some of whom can also be mongrels from time to time 🐶).

            And amazingly, not an espresso machine in sight.
