I brewed up a cup of my first natural process roast (Ethiopian Gelgelu Edema) in the French press (27 g/14 oz). I hope I don't sprain my arm by patting myself on the back, but I'm pretty tickled at how this roast came out. Most certainly fruity (blueberries and tart cherries) but tempered by smooth cocoa. Bright but not astringent or tangy.
Of course, I'm working with a fantastic bean, here, so my mantra throughout the roast was "don't screw it up, Doak. Don't screw it up."

Well done. I can almost taste it.

Just started the newest batch of Ethiopian Gelgelu Edema (roasted on Tuesday). It made for a very nice shot.
On Tuesday I used 22g of Quarter Horse's superb espresso blend, into a barely-ristretto 33g cup. Naked PF, it looked good in the extraction. Topped this up with a further 33g water @92degC from my Bonavita. Puck was dry and formed after, but had clearly over-extracted on one side. Perfection remains elusive, but this was a DFS brew even so! Delicious coffee with classic, rounded flavours.
Had to rely on hotel coffee yesterday.
Today I used the same blend of QH into my Aeropress. Dosing is hit and miss, as I have no scale when I travel. Should really get one, as the flavours were way out. I suspect I'm overdosing and grinding too coarse.

I am trying to avoid making coffee at home. Here in Manhattan there are some great places to buy Kenyan and Ethiopian coffee beans, but if I do it at home, I will drink gallons a day. If I am enjoying coffee in the city it will be from Jack's Stir Brew, Oren's Daily Roast, Le Pain Quotidien, or Ninth Street Espresso. I know (hope) they keep their coffee makers clean and the coffee always tastes fresh. Highly recommend all when you are in New York City!
