I love that coffeepot. Makes fantastic coffee.
Just had a repeat of yesterdays brew in the yama, excellent coffee. Thank's Scotto for showing us how to brew coffee in the vacuum pot that's what got me to buy one.

I roasted this small batch (1-cup) of Brazil Moreninha Formosa Raisin Coffee Micro-Lot yesterday evening, taking it just into 2nd crack (no more than 10-seconds, by my count).
At this point, it's nice and chocolatey -- strong, but not overly bitter (certainly not burnt), and it would have been a mistake to continue the roast any longer.

Why, yes; that's crema, floating on top of the coffee... crema, from a French-press... no sweetner added, no Half 'n Half... coffee and crema.
Of course, before drinking I added both sweetner and Half 'n Half, as is my wont.
Chocolate-milk with sweet citrus... like candy for Shabbat.

A 50/50 mixture of the two beans, I adjusted the coffee mill (Zassenhaus 156) for a coarser grind (less "fines" in the bottom of the cup) and brewed in my Bodum 4-cup French press.
Nice and tasty (chocolatey); next time I might try 2:1 El Salvador Orange Bourbon Cultivar to Sumatra Takengon Classic.

-- also a 50/50 mix.

To JB: crema comes from espresso. bloom comes from a french press.
Yesterday: Ethiopia Idio Misty Valley drip, and as a double 5oz. cappuccino.
I'm not usually a fan of that defect-y Ethiopian blueberry note, but there was nothing offensive whatsoever about this one. (not that I expected it would be, but I don't often think of quality coffee as tasting primarily of a fermentation defect, either)

I am chastened and chagrined... bloom it shall be.
Thanks for enriching my active vocabulary (really)
I hate text format. It doesn't sound so harsh when I say it verbally. Sorry for the unintended abrasiveness.

Abrasiveness? None perceived... at least, not by me. Perhaps I should've added that smiley...
...and every bit as delicious right now, two-and-a-half-weeks later.
