coffee-tea Coffee

Rwandan coffee is also very good.
 
Kenyan is hit or miss, but sometimes excellent ...
 
I enjoy Sumatran for an alt-bean ...

 
 
Do you like South American coffee?  I find that the blends from different parts of the world suit me best.

I tend to prefer African, but I've had good stuff from Latin America too ... a little more hit or miss, though ...

How fine do you typically prefer your coffee ground?

 

[grantmichaels]

uhm ... it's been at 18.5 (baratza) for kalita wave pour-over for a good while ...

 

[t0mato]

I don't know what that means but I will research

It depends on your method of extraction. I use extra fine for espresso, medium-medium fine for Aero Press and Pour over and med coarse for french press.

Yes I found that out after some quick research via the bottomless pit we call the internet.  Thank you. 
 
The baratza seems like a wonderful product with endless possibilities for coffee brewing applicatons
 
I actually bought a coffee grinder and some fresh beans today.  I've gotten tired of espresso and things need to be mixed up a little.
The grinder is nothing fancy (krups).  The thing might serve a dual purpose by making some fresh chili powder.  I might wind up with some spicy coffee though so I will probably reconsider.

I bought espresso for the first time in a few years the other day ...

 

[t0mato]

That's a lot of coffee.

Interesting selection

We use a bag/week or so ...

Lord!  I'd be like a hummingbird after all that.

Just ordered a "honey" processed coffee to try... sounds like a cool process. I'll give my thoughts when it comes in. I love light roasts and this is a light roast so my hopes are high.

That sounds interesting. My next purchase with be a couple of dry processed raw Ethiopian beans. A yirga for sure and one other bean.

My latest purchase

(Hint) It is extraordinary

I've had and enjoyed their coffee!

 

[t0mato]

Oh cool!
 
I like Hairbender the best because it reminds me of chocolate.

When dual usage for the grinder is necessary put about 1/3 cup of plain uncooked rice through the grinder prior to grinding coffee after you've milled chili powder.  Super cool side tangent:  The finely milled rice flour can then be added to your chili powder blends to keep them from clumping.  

 

[t0mato]

You just blew my mind.

Wonderful coffee! Probably the smoothest I've ever had. After I drink it for awhile I'll update more but now nothing just comes to mind just that it is so silky.
