So much coffee, so little time.

I’ve been having lots of fun this week and last week with coffee. Pulling tonnes of S.O to see what has potential ( must say I quite enjoyed the Tanzania Karmaro as a S.O cappuccino) and also we’ve had coffees in that I’ve not tried before by my own hand. I’ve tried lots of Intelli coffees, but I’ve never actually used it myself to make a drink, so it’s been fun finding out how they tastes across the range of brewing processes. I think we’ve had the Agua Preta, Brazil and Anjilanaka, Bolivia. I quite enjoyed the Brazil pulled as an espresso.
Also this week Brian brought me a bag of Alphabet City blend back from N.Y. I’ve had lots of fun with this and can comfortably say it’s one of the nicest espressos that I’ve ever had. Such a thick consitencey and so incredibly smooth. Fantastic espresso. Actually, I found something weird with it, when I grind it a bit coarser than necessary it gets a strange saltiness that I’ve never experienced in coffee.
Lastly, Swe is back now from her trip home to St Johns, NL. And with her she brought some coffee from Jumping Bean. So that’s something else I have the pleasure of playing with this week.
OH, and also the Sammy WBC espresso should have arrived yesterday, so even more espresso fun. I’ve been pulling the Costa Rica Herbazú alot recently as an espresso, so I know how good it is and I’ve had the Aricha on several occasions as an espresso, but usually just a highlight mixed with some epic.
