No conflict in our home -- SWMBO makes those hard decisions.Gators over Sooners @BCS National Championship Game... tonight!
(oy, does this suck! I'm gonna hafta choose between the Bowl Game and Ugly Betty/Grey's Anatomy!!) ...
I got a Newco OCS-12 from my parents for Christmas. I've been using a dark roast Sumatra from Costco, and recently came to the conclusion that it kinda just tastes like dirt to me, probably way over roasted, but I think the beans are just stale too. So to remedy this, I ordered two bags from PTs coffee, and just received them today. I ordered:
Ethiopia Sidamo Special Prep
El Salvador Finca Los Planes Pacamara
I made an 8 cup pot of the Ethiopian this afternoon. Holy moly, this is good stuff! I admit I still like my coffee doctored up a bit, not to mask the taste, on the contrary, for some reason adding a bit of cream and sugar accentuates the flavors to me, or brings out the flavors in a way that I like. I drank a cup black, and enjoyed it, and then had a cup with half and half and a teaspoon of sugar, and it bowled me over. I'll make it in my Bodum Columbia press next time.
Now I just need a vacuum thermos so I can drink it at lunch too, won't have to resort to the office swill.
Just get 8kg of green beans. Sorry for crappy pic. So this is pretty much what I´m gonna drink next months
2kg Nicaragua El Limoncillo
2kg Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Organic
2kg Kenya Gethumbwini Peaberry 2007-2008
2kg Brazil Fazenda Cachoeira Bourbon 2008-2009 Crop
Geth pea is my favourite coffee, and you ordered from steve too. Nice one. I find it has to be no darker than medium roasted but you may have different tastes on it to me
