Ed- It says that they will freeze and then defrost the roasted coffee? And the espresso roasts will sit around for a week after being defrosted before being judged. What are they thinking over at HB? Are they trying to ruin the beans?

**Unless otherwise instructed, Espresso entries will be defrosted so that one week non-freezer time will have elapsed from the roasting date to the judging date. Judges will determine the best tasting dose and grind for each entry. If you want your entry to be handled in a different way, please include instructions.** 7 total days from roast to cup, not counting days frozen if they arrive much earlier. Not 7 days after being frozen. Unless you prefer a shorter time and state it. Most blends peak around 7 days Ed On Sat, Jan 16, 2010 at 6:30 PM, John Mac wrote: <Snip> -- Ed Bourgeois aka farmroast Amherst MA.http://coffee-roasting.blogspot.com/Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://host.sweetmariascoffee.com/mailman/listinfo/homeroast_lists.sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
A while back, HB did a double-blind test of frozen beans and couldn't detect any differences. I won't take a side here, but that's probably what they're thinking. -jeff Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://host.sweetmariascoffee.com/mailman/listinfo/homeroast_lists.sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
It seems pretty kooky but I understand the logic, kind of. I mean,
there is no way to receive all that coffee and have it roasted on par
in terms of age. I am not sure this freezing is necessary for
espresso though since it has a wider latitude in terms of rest. I
have blends I really like at 10 days, not 5 or 7. Anyway, gad to see
them taking the lead on this. It's something I would love to do but
time and travels in my current schedule are really onerous. Just
returned from a week in Costa Rica and found some amazing new
coffees, including a spontaneous cross between Geisha and Caturra
that is amazing!

"If you want your entry to be handled in a different way, please include instructions." [OK- Go ahead and handle my beans any way you want. Pull 10 shots your way, and we'll judge them for the record- discard the best and worst shots of two 5-shot series, 4 scores discarded. I'll enjoy my 3 keepers, you do whatever you want] The aggregate of flavor and aroma of three shots pulled for me by competition baristas should be a real eye opener. I guess that's the magic of a big-bucks shot puller over the low brow Portuguese-built thing on which I learned, that looks like the starboard side of Marilyn Monroe's bow. Cheers, Mabuhay, Iechyd da -RayO, aka Opa! Guess I finally proved expresso is worthwhile- I look forward to learning how, soon.

Agree espresso blends can and do have a wide variation in optimum rest time. Yet I don't find Jim's methodology kooky at all, but rather a way of eliminating differing rest times as a final product variable. A few days rest either way can make a noticeable difference in the cup, especially in competition! AND if a person chooses they can specify a different rest method. For instance if I were entering an espresso blend using those 4 beans I'd request 7 days ambient, then frozen, then 2 days out of freezer. Why? While the competition selected beans are not the exact same beans they are the same countries of origin, varietals and bean processing method beans I currently use in my 4 bean 5 roast post roast Organic Delirium blend. 7 days ambient then frozen, then out for 2 days is how I target my 5 pounders hitting my Cafés hoppers with Delirium with usage expected equivalent rest days 9 through 10 or so. = Slave to the Bean Kona Konnaisseur miKe mcKoffeehttp://www.mckoffee.com/Ultimately the quest for Koffee Nirvana is a solitary path.

Nice synopsis miKe. I kind of figured Jim had something specific in mind when he laid out the specs of this competition. Blending for spro is one thing to say but after I took a class from Dr. Joseph John at the Seattle coffee fest,"Blending for Espresso" I realized I was just at stage one of understanding all the variables that go into this, mysterious wonderful skill. Then to add onto this the fact that many of these variables change from crop to crop season to season etc. My hat goes off to those like miKe M. and all the Lister's here who venture into this competition. To find and create a balance for an espresso bean is a life long journey, one that I find great joy in.

Update: The brewing roasts will be judged by Tom Owens of Sweet Maria's, Ryan Brown and Steve Ford of Ritual, and perhaps Jeremy Tocker of Four Barrel. In addition they will be judged by Bob Yellin and Jim Schulman of Coffeecuppers. More espresso judges to be announced.

Anyone else from the list entering? I just sent off my entries today. I had only planned to enter the espresso category, but I roasted some of the Hue Hue while I was doing the other roasts and it came out really good, so I entered it in the brewed category.

I just sealed the box with my entries. Did both of them. Stuck my neck out with 4 bean 5 roast espresso mostly blended without pulling a shot, only getting to cup all the roasts and see how they were cool. and make something up. Part of my test roasts were plagued by a wicked cold spell. Tried an odd 2bean 3 roast brewed. Thought of going safe but then I wouldn't learn anything . And a difference with home roasting is not having to live on"crowd pleaser" coffees!

Well, the results are in and I am surprised that this is the first post about the competition. As far as I know, the winners in each category are not members of this list, but John Despres, who is a member got special recognition for finishing in the top five in both categories - fourth in brewed and fifth in espresso. Congrats John!! I did not make the cut in espresso and finished seventh in brewed with my SO of the Hue Hue. The final tasting of the brewed coffees were conducted by Tom and his crew. I want to thank them as well as Jim Schulman for setting this up. Jim has indicated that he plans to make this an annual competition which benefits us all. There are some interesting and useful comments listed on Home Barista concerning the entries. You can follow the link that Ed posted below. There are also individual threads about the results. I would like to see more people from this list enter next year. One of the comments that Jim made that I found to be heartening was that most of the entries, even those not making the finals, could be proudly served in any coffee shop. That says a lot about our ability to use mostly amateur equipment to produce professional results.

Congratulations to all who entered! Thanks Tom! A video of the brewed division can be sen here.http://www.youtube.com/watch?vúuZ_sPieXo&feature=player_embeddedI can't tell which coffee is mine, though. I'm crazy delighted, over the top happy with my results, but more important than the ranking will be tasting my coffee with the judge's notes in front of me. I mean really, I have notes from Tom Owen, Jim Schulman and other luminaries in the biz. What's cooler than that?

I have to run , but one of the difficult things here was the
selection of the coffee - at Roasters Guild we had a very interesting
roast competition where everyone used the same coffee, El Salv.
Matalapa. That meant roast technique and then the roast persons
selection of which batch to enter was really key, and the green
coffee itself was secondary. This was a bit hard because the
selection of greens with so much character! naturals, etc...

I did a roast of these little guys last night and it was a good 2.5 minutes from SOF to EOF. |
Here are 2 Macro videos Tom produced from some of the roast samples.
