Thought a thread to discuss the coffees would be nice.

Lately I am craving the brighter, sweeter, fruitier coffees. Pretty excited to try these two.

Man, I am sick of reading all these threads... I am going to have to sign up for the monthly shipment after the first of the year... got a new french press and i need some good coffee to go in it

[caudio51]

It makes my mornings so great. Usually the 2 1/2 lb bags last me just over 2 weeks and that is drinking about 1.5 cups a day, roughly.

[AZsteelman]

Hell, I've had this new coffee maker just about 3 weeks and just checked the counter on it...I've had 105 cups so far! I am drinking way too much!

[caudio51]

Holy crap, that is 5 cups a day!

[tobby4]

Ha.. you know you are bad when you admit to drinking too much when you mention the coffee consumption... do we need to even bring up the alcohol???

[AZsteelman]

yeah, I'm surprised its' that low, actually - I have 3 or so in the morning, then some more later...


and no, we won't talk alcohol!

[caudio51]

I wonder if he has counters on his maker's mark bottles....

[tobby4]

Exactly... or baileys bottles.. you know if he is drinking that much coffee he has to put liquor in it sometime...

[AZsteelman]

not a counter, but I have found that a bottle of the stuff is good for 3 cigars!

[caudio51]

:rofl:

Just one little splash to get the day going!

[tobby4]

one little splash??? hell no, you need a bunch of baileys in cofee to taste it...

[Headbanger]

So this is how you guys become post whores?

[cvm4]

[tobby4]

[tobby4]

Ha, I have like 75 posts today...

[caudio51]

Late night banter is what it is

[cvm4]

It is what it is...

This thread is an excellent idea Tom.
I do have a cupping correction on the Bolivian. The berry/cherry I mentioned seems to be a fluke. I was so surprised by it that I tried it again this morning and this evening. No berry/cherry this time. I do think it's a little one dimensional which is what I meant by "not much else" but again, I do think it's a plain good cup of coffee.

[caudio51]

I'll let you know what I think!

[tobby4]

Yea sorry for the thread jack..

[caudio51]

Got my coffee today!!!

[AZsteelman]

got mine this afternoon! Yipppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm still amazed that Randy's coffee maker has a cup counter. It's a good thing that they don't make humidors with that feature.

Papua New Guinea - Ilesa
This coffee has a delicate, sweet aroma and rich complex flavor of light citrusy fruit and a smidge of chocolate. Medium body, high acidity and a quick, clean finish. This will be a good after dinner coffee.

Having this right now. With Brian's descriptions I am finally able to pull flavors out of coffee. It was the same path with cigars. This is a very nice cup :thumbsup:

The Bolivian montana is very one dimensional but is still a very good cup of coffee. It's my wifes favorite. Im not sure if that's the bean but similar regions produce similar coffee. I have made my trip through Africa. It's time for S. America.

[caudio51]

I would argree, the Bolivia Mejilones is a good cup but one-dimensional
