Today's Brew (May 2005)

[Wasch_24]

I don't know man, with coffees from the well known commercial roasters going for $9-$16 per pound and green beans from $2-$6 per pound.................

Well, I may have to go back to the Chock Full 'O Nuts :hysterica

Hope everything's OK with Stogies&Hoagies.

Back to Ethiopian Harar after a few days of other coffees. The sweet, fruity, blueberry hint was really evident today!

Thanks Brian, no problems, just home computer issues (fixed hopefully, but thunderstorms last night knocked out the cable) and lots of stuff at work.

This morning I did Cuban Caracolillo at home, and forgot to bring some to work. AARRRGGGHHH.

 

[Wasch_24]

I had the same S&H. Thanks Brian.

It went well with the '98 Sancho Panza Non Plus I had on the way in today.

You're welcome Todd. Although I like just about any coffee and cigar pairing there is just something special about a Cuban cigar AND Cuban coffee together.

 

[Wasch_24]

Yep, they went well together. :thumbsup:

Columbian Peaberry - Caracol de Narino
Just plain good coffee!

 

[stogies&hoagies]

Cuban caracolillo again today. i've been using a french press instead of my Capresso maker lately. Wow, a huge difference. I'm loving it.

I won't be around for about a month. I'm taking an extended vacation. I leave wed. morning, so I won't be posting much until then. You know how it is when you go on vacation and how much stuff you have to do before leaving. I'm also having a bit of a situation on the home computer. something wrong with the modem. Hopefully someone will come out and fix it tomorrow.

 

[Black Dog]

Have a great vacation Charlie!

Bolivian Organic

Kinda tart.

Not a favorite.

I have some of that and preferred it at a darker roast than what most seem to recommed for it. To me it was very "bright".

 

[Wasch_24]

The beans were some of the lightest I've seen. I think it was City + :dunno:

 

[stogies&hoagies]

Todd, I think I know where you got those beans!!!!!!!!!!!!! Am I right?

Today was Bolivian Organic here, no brightness though.

 

[Black Dog]

I put a sticky up with a link to a photo guide showing the different levels of roast. Check it out and see where your Bolivian Organic falls Todd.

 

[Wasch_24]

City+

At least I think, the beans are gone.

Yemen Mocca - Sanani
I haven't had this in a while. Now I remember why it's a favorite!
:skew: (p.s. vipe us coffee guys need the coffee drinking smiley)

Bolivian Organic from S&H

Went well with the Lusi I smoked while driving today.

This is one unique coffee..still not sure if I like it.

Papua New Guinea
This is a new one for me.
Mild, mellow and complex at the same time. Quite enjoyable. I give it a Gold Star.

 

[Wasch_24]

No coffee for me this morning.
