On my 2nd infusion of Yunnan Noir after coming back from walking the dog and my soon to be 4 year old on his bike. Prior to that I had 2 cups of the final roasting of my 07 Beloya One. I will miss this, but..........

No; at least, not yet. My Left Foot/Toe is almost healed, but the job to which I was heading/returning still awaits a final decision on funding -- full- vs. part-time, and for how many years (i.e., 2, 3, or 4).
So, I remain here... treading water... drinking more coffee, but shaving less-frequently. Sigh. And so it goes.
Smooth shaving! and enjoy your Zassenhaus grinder and that vacuum pot, too!!
The zass is one of the best things you have ever recommended to me, I enjoy it greatly. I hope you are healed up soon!
Indian peaberry bold in a french press.
Incredibly bitter this morning, ground 30 seconds before brewing. Don't know what I did wrong, but I shall try again tomorrow.

Another grinding of peaberry in the press. Better this time. I know what I did last time I used the amount of grind for my bigger pot in a smaller one.
I also just had a sniff of my mothers 'ground fairtrade coffee' and it used to smell lovely to me. Now it smells like stale bitter crap. You have made a coffee snob of me!

Drew's Brews Holly Springs roast I believe. It's quite tasty and has a nice some nice citrusy notes.
Some Greenbeanery Ethiopian Harrar (dry process) ground in my Zass - very nice and lively - a good wake-up coffee.

I just picked up some kuki matcha from teavana and am having some today. It is really quite good. It has an almost sweet flavor to it.here is a link:

Some 1990's Liu An from Jay (thanks!). Totally off-putting aroma, but tastes quite good.
Ethiopian Washed Korate Sidamo in the Tvorm. Awesome.
This evening I made up a double infusion of Lapsang Souchong, put it in a large thermal mug and took it out with me. That got me through the meeting. Interesting tea, it always give me a sweet tasting finish.

Home roasted Ethiopian Yirgacheffe hand ground with a Zassenhaus grinder brewed with a pour over cone filter.
Home roasting, even just pan roasting, is much better than any store bought beans. Small investment ... large returns.
