It's always good to see what's in your cup @cambosheff Actually, it's always good to see you've got a cup, a machine . . . a grinder

 

[cambosheff]

Grinders here to stay (especially after I saw the imported price of the flat max

joking aside I've been chuffed with the EK43S with the SSP silver knight burrs. The rest, well it's here until it's not [emoji23]

My daily treat is the Chateau Rouge Barista Italian Blend. It is really smooth and nice and roasted in Italy by a family business. I prepare using Aeropress and it never disappoints. Can't start my day without this caffeine booster.

Every one of your posts has been promotional. Can you tell us more about the company?

Opened up mahogany roast rancheros blend from cc.......amazingly smooth with sweet caramel and dark chocolate flavours. Nailed it.

Might be my new favourite.

I have used the Kenya Bora, great one this, and Natural Ethiopia Sidamo is really thick and run it longer plus I took 18 in 50 out

I don't really know why I bother. I blame morbid curiosity.

Ordered this latte from a branch of 'Koosta' in Heliopolis. It tastes a bit like the coffee cream from Quality Street.

At least it appears them chains finally get into the ballpark with their latest frothing equipment... which leaves room for hope that one day, overall cup quality may improve!

...haven't been out for neither crappuccino nor automatoccino in ages

Is that a milk pudding of some kind with a bit of browning going on, on the skin

It was basically milk foamed to within an inch of its life. There was some kind of brown beneath it. But it was watery brown at best.

Proper milk is hard to come by here. I've brought two bags of Pact for cafetière, but we still like a spot of milk which makes it tricky.

Home roasted Kavutiri peaberry from MurueF.C.S, Embu, Kenya.

Embu and Meru are on the eastern side of Mt Kenya and my opinion is that the eastern side produces better coffees overall than the south and west sides. This one is no exception. I roasted to my normal medium/medium dark, stopping just before 1stC, but I think this coffee will be better with a lighter touch. It has needed quite a bit of tweaking through the Bialetti. I have had to grind slightly coarser with another 4 gm in the funnel to hit the right spot.

Full bodied, plenty of fruity type flavours, melon? tomato? Long aftertaste.

 

[Stanic]

Rave Rwanda Cyato, very nice in the cup

 

[Hasi]

stopping just before 1stC

you mean 2nd? otherwise it'd rather be unripe tomato with grasslands from around the area

Kenya, nyeri region- Othaya Chinga Lot 19TY0003

Big bodied kenyan of a non blackcurrant kind as a chemex

Morning folks

Talor & Jorgen, Frinsa collective, Indonesia - clean, bright red fruit, caramel and a hint of gentle, flowery, spice. Very nice. Ages since I've had an Indonesian, even so I might well have pegged this one as a Kenyan if I didn't know better.
