For me I am running with
Kiss the Hippo - Uraga, Ethopia natural process. This is for my aeropress
Origin Coffee - El Progresso, Colombia, Tolima, washed. This is in my grinder set up for pour overs.
What are you drinking?
Systemic Just cracked open some Ethiopia Goru-Muda Guji - wonderful apple, ginger and butterscotch notes through V60.
Just tried it as espresso - not quite dialled in right but the gingery butterscotch notes shine through a flat white and cortado.
.
Where is this from sounds lovely
Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -
Got some of that too - gingery apple and butterscotch notes work well as pour over and as espresso.

Bit slow😂 put it down to too much chocolate porter am quaffing as we speak.
About to order this from Square Mile. Washed Guatemalan Caturra. Tasting notes are Strawberry, Orange and Chocolate. Anyone tried it?
Got this by accident really. Stopped in coffee lab for an espresso and to grab some beans as a stop gap while I wait for my coffee by the casuals order to arrive.
Pulled as a normal 1:2 espresso was like eating a lemon so followed some of the advice given in the light roast topic and pulled a hotter and longer shot - 16:40+
Really interesting coffee. Lots and lots of strawberries in both smell and taste.
Made a flat white for the other half - basically strawberry milkshake 😂.
I can’t say it’s left me desperate to seek out more anaerobic coffees but quite nice as a bit of fun.
LMSC it’s supposed to be their single origin offering - no info on the bag and their web description isn’t much better other than to say it’s a single origin, anaerobic process. Nothing about the bean or where in Colombia it’s from.
I hadn’t really noticed the colour difference but you’re quite right - Theres a big variance in there.
It was good enough that I’d like to try other natural coffees just probably not from them.
It’s also been a nice exercise for me on my stock gaggia so a good learning experience!
I’m not sure….I threw away the bag and can’t remember what it was. It was from a roasting course I did recently, it’s a bit darker than usual as the company I was teaching liked their coffee slightly darker. It’s delicious, but I don’t know if it was one of my coffees, or one of theirs?
Really ticking me off….

@Baldrick Looking at the pictures, two thoughts came to my mind. Sorry, if you find it offensive! Please don’t me wrong. 😊
1: It wasn’t roasted properly / evenly, assuming the bag was from a single roast! I do not think this is correct.
2: They produced three roasts - medium dark and two variations of darker. They mixed them together!
I don’t know what @DavecUK thought of it from the picture.
Is this the Baldrick south coast roast colombian? I just had a look at the photo and assumed it was from the way the light hit the beans in the glass, highlighting some, compared to others. It’s super difficult to tell because under kitchen lights, they often illuminate unevenly, so I didn’t give it a second thought.
These are the roasters and they set up South Coast as a cafe ages ago.
I’m slowly working my way through the 12 days of Crankhouse - a brilliant idea - but I’m only on the second day and it is a tasty, tasty washed Gichathaini AA from Nyeri, Kenya - blackberry with a chocolate lingering in the mouth (like I’m lingering over these 12 days). And I have been using Simplify the Brewer to brew it - keeping it simple for 2022, for now.

LMSC not at all! This is why I’m here 😁. It wasn’t a cheap bag - £16.50 for 250g. Only picked them up because I was very almost out at home and coffee lab had sold out of everything other than decaf!

All the lighting in my house is “mood” lighting so trying to photograph or read is a nightmare. Can thank the missus for that 😩
I had some Columbian Horizonte from Cuppers Choice today.
I bought it in September, used half and froze the rest in the bag and cardboard tube it comes in.
I can’t say I noticed any degradation in taste 👍
Unless it’s a peculiarity of the camera or my monitor, I would call that dark, yeah, or medium dark if I’m being generous. No it won’t have gone into 2nd, would have needed another 60 to 90 seconds. I would imagine in a week or so oil droplets will start showing.
