Had a chance to try those beans from the 'disaster' roast I talked about =
last night - after they sat for 14 hours - I ground up 12 grams and fed =
them through my Lusso, lever-action machine.
How were these poor, abused survivors of an unintended double-roast?
In a word: "Fabulous!"
The pre-infusion went for about 7 seconds, and I was worrying that I'd =
over-tamped and choked the machine, when two thin, very dark-red/brown =
'mousetails' appeared, I released the lever, and it slowly moved up, =
with two thick, viscous, streams of coffee hitting the glass. About =
2/3's of the way up the lever stroke I saw red foam appear in the =
streams, and crema floating on the shot.
I did a light 2nd lever-stroke, which was almost all yellow/red crema =
and pulled the glass at about a 1.5oz shot. 
The drink looked good in the glass, the espresso was a very dark =
ebony/brown under strong light, capped with a quarter inch of dense =
yellow/tan crema. 
OK, so far, so good - I gave it a good sniff, Damn! It smelled just like =
the beans, rich, earthy, and full of coffee promise - no sourness, and =
no off-putting 'chemical' scents.
Well, time to take a sip - I was still dubious - remember, these were =
beans that should have been garbaged, the re-roast was a desperation =
measure. Just one quick, small, sip because the Bodum Pavina glasses =
keep everything very hot....
OMG! (Oh My Goodness!) I was going to just take a small sip, I was going =
to take a picture, I was going to cap the shot with some sweet =
microfoam, and then savor it at my workstation - I wasn't going to just =
stand there and Hoover the blinking shot down like some giggling lunatic =
- but I did.
Sigh! I'll play some more with these beans after work today - the taste =
is still lingering, and it's still good.
Cheers
