Dunno why I never thought of that myself hahaha! I could hide the decaf behind 50% of some mega ridiculous farmyard funky fruit bomb and forget it has decaf in the mix. Good tip, albeit it would need a little commitment to at least 10 shots at a time cos the E37S isn’t ideal for SD and I generally bung 150-200g in the hopper so there’s weight on the beans.

Baldrick Literally got this arriving tomorrow as the wife is quite sensitive to my usual cups and says her latte had her ‘wired’ for hours 🤣

      Baldrick so had a cup and both the wife (milky drinks) and myself with a black aeropress of the Rave ‘half caf’ have been very impressed by both the flavour. Ground medium fine in the X54 12g 1:16 in aeropress gives a sweet, clean cup with a distinct caramel note, which is very pleasant. Would highly recommend if looking for a drink that doesn’t sacrifice flavour for less caffiene.

          The first natural for some time. Friedhats Columbian La Maria. It has the booziness with hints of tropical fruit but not the madness that some naturals have. Really enjoying it but will probably be ready for a change once I get to the end of the beans

          LMSC It is definitely a medium roast mixed with the decaf. Whatever the ratios its a very good bag and well designed for its use, very drinkable low caf flavourful drink.

          The package does not come with any further details regarding the bean from Rave.

            Just enjoyed a wonderful V60 from this Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from Long & Short. Pricey but stunning. Looking forward to trying the Guatemalan.

            Wonderful flavours coming through using Hario Switch (Ole Kristian Bóen brewers cup recipe).

            The lime & “skittles” flavour notes really prominent, very well roasted and delicious.

              Platypus Maybe it’s my browser, but Googling ‘Ole Kristian Bóen brewers cup recipe’ or variations of this, reveals nothing. Do you have the recipe, or a link?

                Load of shite recently

                Grape seems to be the flavour of the month last 4 bags from dog and hat have had that note.

                My own fault for not looking forward on the subscription

                  Cuprajake all the roasters from last months box were super roasty, i’ve cancelled my sub now and will just shop around. I feel the quality has gone down hill this year

                    forgive me but my daughter bought me three kilos each a different flavour and im afraid its a big no from me
