Yirga Cheffe Konga roast 1 week ago to a City. French Pressed about 20 minutes ago... it's starting to cool and bring out the lemons. When it's still hotter than warm, the acidity of the coffee is lemony, but it only plays on the edges of the tongue. I have enough for one more cup of this, which will probably go this morning!!! UPS is telling me that SM's roasted Sidamo should be here this morning... happy Monday everyone!!! bill On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 4:07 AM, Vicki Smith wrote: <Snip> Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.com |
Kona roasted to a very nice city roast in the USRC half kilo roaster. Brewed in the Techivorm on 2 days rest! Very nice cup of coffee. Smooth, deep flavors that hint of Pine that Kona is so known for! I am down to two pounds of Kona in the stash.

this week will be the Komodo Blend (decaf) roasted to FC. Roasted on Friday afternoon, 1st cup this morning and it is good (as usual). I find the Komodo Blend to be very forgiving of my roasting errors, and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a decaf with fruity flavors. French Never miss a thing.

My last cup of the morning (barely still morning, anyway) is a Costa Rica Dota with a shot of Glenmorangie 10, a bit of simple syrup, and frothed milk "floated" on the top. Sorry, Sandy, not exactly "real" Irish coffee, but I wasn't willing to whip cream, yet still have to celebrate St. Paddy's. Pretty tasty, nonetheless. Hopefully, if nothing else, I've made the both the coffee and malt drinkers cringe a bit at the wanton beverage adulteration. -AdkMike Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.com |

Leftover Greenline grinds from my Mazzer's doser, mixed with IMV and brewed in the Technivorm. Not bad, though. Will pull a couple of Greenline breves on Miss Silvia this afternoon (my housekeeper & I call it our "fix") before Roger the repairman gets here to tear the Magister apart (and hopefully, get it working again).

Let me get this straight... you put SCOTTISH whisky in your coffee and called it *IRISH* coffee? I think my bald Irish melon just imploded...

Scots Coffee, huh? Don't feel bad--my Scots-Swiss husband celebrated St. Pat's Day one year by watching "Braveheart" and conspicuously ordering a Rob Roy at Lawry's The Prime Rib (now, that's living dangerously). I had to wear green to atone, and I haven't a drop of Irish blood in me. (My ancestors came from County Minsk, County Cracow, and County Strasbourg).

I'm almost afraid to admit that I like Baileys in my coffee every now and then :) I don't pretend to believe it's Irish Coffee though.

With the Costa Rica Dota, we just served for lunch: "Breakfast For Lunch, St. Patrick's Day Style" We had warm flour tortillas, into which was put scrambled eggs, sauted onions, cheddar cheese, and GREEN food coloring, plus GREEN bacon (secret food coloring trick prior to broiling) The boys loved it!

Barely squeaking in to "morning" - I've got what I'm sure is a lovely Yirga Cheffe Konga in my cup, roasted to C+ a week ago and brewed in the AP, but it might as well be Maxwell House or plain hot water as I have a bad cold and can't really taste or smell anything. I have a this cold along with the baby and my husband. We've been suffering all weekend (and really what's more pathetic than a baby with a cold?). The vector (my 3 year old) however, is feeling just fine. No justice! When I sip the Konga I can just barely get a hint of citrus in an otherwise flat and flavorless liquid. *sigh* Kris McN Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://lists.sweetmariascoffee.com/listinfo.cgi/homeroast-sweetmariascoffee.com |

Oh, yah- It was Monday morning, wasn't it? A few minutes past now, but in deference to Dwellers of the Other Side of the Date Line, I had a gorgeous double of Ethiopian Harar Green Stripe last night. Wala kong Pino, pero, I can wish. I landed at Hickam on both tours enroute to Clark, so maybe there is some connection with the '05 Moki's Farm Kona this morning, and the one I finished just now. Thanks to comments on the list, the next roast of Moki's Farm will terminate in the 12 - 14 minute range when First is all gone but Second is a good couple of minutes from the first snap in the Fresh Roast. The grounds are quickly cleared from the gasket and shower screen when I do a backflush on a loose filter handle. I get almost nothing with a terry cloth and brush wipe down afterwards. The appearance of the hot water in a white bowl when I do a blank after the quick back flush tells me it must be Monday morning and it's due for some Go Joe, dishwasher detergent and/ or Oxyclean.

For me, it's Harar Biftu Genema at FC / FC+. Roasted two days ago, its flavors are getting better with each brew. Will be interesting over the next couple days, methinks. No it's not quite Horse, but it's the first Harar I've had since those days. If you liked Horse, you might want to snare some of this before it's gone. Outside it's blue sky, snow on the ground and the brass monkeys are missing their.... well never mind. However, this coffee makes all that irrelevant!
