Today I have another great coffee from the folks over at Rosalind Coffee.

This is their San Isidro. A washed Columbia bean from the Huila region. I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio. Rosalind notes flavors of nectarine, mandarin orange, & marshmallow. I definitely got the tartness acidity of the citrus. Nice bright orange. Also got a creamy chocolate/cola as well. This was a very interesting cup. Think I will try this at my 1:8 ratio next time. See how that turns out.

Thanks again to Walt & Rosalind for the interesting coffees.

Seven Seas Laos: Setapoung Village

January 18, 2019

Here I have another great bean from Seven Seas Roasting Company. Seven Seas was started by Eric and Rob during their years in the armed forces. They randomly bumped into each other at a coffee bar in Bangkok and the real coffee journey began: the journey where coffee farmers are treated like humans and where the coffee they produce tastes damn good too. What they found out on their travels became the impetus for Seven Seas Roasting Co: what most call fair trade is nothing more than an airline calling economy seating comfortable. So, they set out to change that. The name Seven Seas Roasting Co. is a nod to past explorers and adventurers, who risked everything in the pursuit of reaching new lands in search of exotic rewards to return with. This is their washed Laos: Setapoung Village bean. Nestled in the backcountry of Lao’s Bolaven Plateau, few outsiders ever venture down this dusty path. Here, the remnants of the Vietnam War have been swallowed into ev...

Dogwood Neon Espresso

May 18, 2018

Here I have my final bean from the good folks over at Dogwood Coffee Co. Dogwood Coffee Company is a small, quality-focused roaster based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Quality is the driving factor behind what they do and building relationships is fundamental to their sourcing process and overall approach to doing business. This is their Neon Espresso blend. Dogwood notes flavors of citrus, sparkling fruit, and sweet tang . I brewed this at my 1:12 ratio & also as a pourover at a 1:16 ratio. Dogwood used 2 different beans in this blend: a Costa Rica, Trinidad bean & an Ethiopia, Mulish bean. This was a nice blend. Great acidity. Caramel, nutty sweetness. Stone fruits. Made for a tasty cold brew & pourover. Many thanks to Ben & Dogwood for the tasty beans. They sent me an amazing care package with some super tasty beans, so make sure to go show these guys some love. They know their coffee. Go check them...

PUCKPUCK cold brew device

December 06, 2018

Today I have an awesome piece of equipment for you guys. Meet the PUCKPUCK. PUCKPUCK is an attachment that turns any AeroPress Coffee Maker into a cold brew drip system. The PUCKPUCK allows for a controlled slow dripping of water over a bed of coffee, creating a uniquely versatile cold brew that can be enjoyed over ice, with milk, or as a mixer with your cocktails. The patent-pending twist drip valve means the setup is done in seconds and if you pair this with the PUCKPUCK Drip Counter App available for Apple and Android you can achieve a more exact calibration to perfect your brew. Another design feature is the universal screw thread on the PuckPuck which means you can can pair certain types of mineral water bottles with the PuckPuck to create a lightweight piece of kit allowing you to slow drip coffee wherever you go. Only certain brands of water bottle fit the screw thread for PUCKPUCK and currently the only option they have listed for the US is Evian Still. ...
