Saturday morning roast and a few shots,
Micheal is truly the unsung hero of Coffee, he has the equipment to be a real snob, yet he remains every so humble and even puts up with a newbie like me.
After starting a 600gr roast of some Yirgy
We pulled the first shot of some Costa Rica Don Jose Red honey reserve, this was the stand out coffee of the day according to my Mrs with her sophisticated Euro pallet, she loved it and claims it actually tastes like "White Honey" this being a fairly hard bean he was able to extract flavors I never could even come close to.
Second shot was a naked using the fabled JBM beans, it was a little disappointing taste wise but OK I shot a video of it. I get a better result with this bean at home, I guess because it is so soft and I can play with soft beans at a lower pressure maybe?
Then if I remember right he pulled a shot of the Wahana Sumatran it was only 4 days post and was pretty much undrinkable, grassy and just yucky no one would drink it but he gave me some of the beans to take home that I will try a week or so later, also he said they were a dark roast from memory, they will be good just not yet.
we may have done another bean but not sure any way the grand finally was the "Killer Cuban" a very Macho bean, this time We used my little Rosco hand grinder just to see what would happen
here is the video I shot of the Cuban--
For the boys this delivered the knock-out punch! big juicy mouth feel with buttery sugar cane and Cigar notes
very gulpable! you just want to put big gulps of this in your mouth.
Micheal is great. thanks for the roast and the fantastic experience!
