Uganda Zombo White Nile, some nice citrus and herbal notes, I probably will go just a bit darker on this one next time

Roasted some Colombian the other night.
It's a nice change of pace. Has an almost caramel smoothness to it.

Hoping it amps me up as good today as it did yesterday.

Work is scary. I'm bidding work in dollar amounts that look like lottery winnings, so need all the liquid courage I can muster.

Padron 2000 with last nights roast of Papua New Guinea Sigri Kula coffee, Semi sweet chocolate and caramel with some light floral on the backside, pairs very nice with the creamy, nutty notes from the cigar.

I envy you guys who can roast your own beans—and they sound delicious. Luckily, I have half a dozen excellent roasters near me. Drinking Blue Bottle Giant Steps, a medium roast that hits the sweet spot between bitter and sweet.

Ethiopia, Hambela Gora
light berry notes (strawberry & blueberry) up front with licorice/anise and chocolate malt on the backside. I’m gonna go a bit lighter on the next go around and see if I can get the berry notes to ’pop’ a little more.

Union by Think Coffee pour-over. Medium roast blend of Colombian, Ethiopian and Nicaraguan. Pairs very well with the first pipe of the day.

Uganda White Nile, French press.

Green Mountain Dark Magic with Irish cream creamer.

Something new, from Peats, Death Wish, to Black Rifle, Iron Bean, Kicking Horse all good. I just like variety.

I do the same thing, variety wise.
Latest purchase is Starbuck's French Roast. The 3lb bags are on sale at Costco for $12.99. I'm not a fan of most Starbucks coffee, because of the slightly scorched flavor. It's weird, because I don't care for it in the press, but it shines when brewed in the Chemex. I guess the bitter/burnt/oily is filtered out during the brewing process.

Yeah I picked up the two lb bag above at Costo as well. The thing about Starbuck’s not supporting our Marines was false but they were caught up in using children from 8-13 years of age working them 40hrs a week for a daily wage of the cost of a Latte in Guatemala. Child labor and burnt coffee. Starbucks Sucks in my opinion. I know they’re plenty of large cooperation’s that do the same and I’m sure I’m guilty of purchasing! It’s a sad world…

I hear ya.
The fact of the matter is that if I avoided purchasing, or using, products from companies with questionable and/or shady business practices, I wouldn't be able to buy anything at all🤨

This is another one of the reasons that I started roasting my own. I can buy green coffe from small importers that buy direct from co-ops or actual individual farms and are transparent with everyone involved in the process. Plus I know that I can’t get anything any fresher.

I've often thought about trying that, but we have a small house and our kitchen is the size of a galley. Even with the recent kitchen renovation, (where we've maximized as much space as physically possible) there is no room.

Just a Wawa Cuban roast. 🤣🤣

Nespresso double oscuro...surprisingly that machine makes great coffee

I have been looking at those Nespresso machines. How close is the coffee to a good espresso from a proper coffee shop?
