This is a multi-part message in MIME format. A visit from the famous Dr Crema yesterday and some beans from = AlChemist, John, helped me in my coffee roasting experience. Referring to myself as Dark Man, because I prefer the darker roasts, I = had an erroneous idea of what is referred to as lighter roasts. When the doctor arrived and examined my roasts, I was a bit embarrassed = because I dread doctor exams. He said my roasts weren't really dark at all and that I could tell this = when the beans were ground. I had roasted some Monkey Blend from Tom = which he said was a perfect Vienna or a Vienna on the lighter side. They = were not covered with oil. John's beans, which Les said were dog bowl roasted, were superb and we = both got wired pulling shots. I also tasted ISH for the first time.Great! The doctor's prescription? Roast and drink more coffee. |
