My first impression of Tom's Monkey blend was that it was a bit much for =
the old dad. I would prefer to use it in caps only 
My next roast in the Hot Top after  heeding Tom's suggestions, was a =
Vienna or light Vienna. I let it rest the 36 hours he recommends, ground =
it four notches toward coarse in the Mazzer and WOW!
What a difference!
As a straight espresso and cappuccino, the shots were superb.
No bite, smooth finish, and outstanding flavor.
Now as to the resting----
Just smell the roasted beans after roasting and again after two days of =
rest. What a difference! 
So I had to amend my coffee notes to say,
A reorder for sure!
