brew smells kind of "metallic"

there is a mild bitterness with an acidity that tastes very mildly of apples. the bitterness lingers but it is not as intense/bad as the previous bcr coffees. could be ok with some tweaking maybe.

"I Went To Guatemala To Explain Why All Coffee Is Fermented"

i like the section that touches on co-ferments and "flavour crystals". (the latest ratnagiri co-ferments with "jasmine" and "rose" might very well be one of these)

#coffee #arabica #coferment #CoFermentation

“They decided to focus their research in #Ethiopia, Africa’s largest coffee producer. The scientists from Kew, joined by their #Ethiopian counterparts, spent years driving more than 30,000 miles across the country, often on roads so remote they did not appear on the government’s own maps. They visited as many coffee farms as possible, recording data about the #climate in each area and using it to build models to predict what would happen as temperatures rose. The results shocked them. By the end of the century, the models suggested, large parts of Ethiopia would become unsuitable for growing coffee.”

hoysala estate naturals (""light roast"")

had lofty goals (in hindsight) of comparing washed/naturals of the same coffee but the washed one was bad so.

beans & brew smell sweet and a bit burnt.

less immediately bitter like the washed one but it washes over the tongue with sips. rest of the brew tastes empty. maybe a very slight acidity. needs tweaking.

brew smells burnt, woody, ashy

the taste is a wave of bitter burnt taste with nothing else. i have never tasted this much on the spectrum of bitterness before. might be hallucinating an extremely faint hint of peanuts in the background

ground beans smell very fermenty/boozy. brew smells fruity; a bit burnt.

first sip: mildly sweet with fruity acidity. theres a significant bitter aftertaste that overwhelms everything else. bitterness mostly reduces with further sips. definitely have to go less agitation on this one.

the brew smells sweet.

first sip is slightly sweet with some acidity. a slight tea like mild bitterness. the acidity reads like grapes with more sips. very mellow. wonder how this will do with less agitation.

brew smells faintly like cloves and cardamom.

first sip is mostly bitter with a tiny hint of citrus like acidity. afterwards bitterness fades a bit and the citrus note becomes more prominent. the bitterness remains steady until the end. might try some things to lower the bitterness later.

ground beans and the brew smell sweet.

first sip is mellow sweetness with slight acidity and a spicy aftertate. the spicy taste increases with further sips. acidity with sweetness reads as fruity but cant pinpoint which ones. dont read any bitterness. nice cup.

Kopi pertama hari ini. Ternyata emang beda kalau pakai non-pressurized portafilter, notes dari beans nya jadi lebih rich.

By the way, thanks to my sis buat oleh-oleh umrohnya berupa biji Arabika dari Ethiopia https://www.snapchat.com/@kiffa.sa

Sayangnya setengah kantung lebih salah bikin kemarin-kemarin pakai pressurized portafilter di mesin espresso. Sampai terpikir back to mokapot karena hasilnya lebih memuaskan.

brew smells sweet and mildly chocolaty.

gonna try with low agitation later.

Started this today. Very good. Nice citrus back notes. 500g is going to last very long… #Coffee #TwoChimps #CoffeeWanker #Uganda #SingleOrigin #Arabica

(only preliminary notes since this is mixed with a tiny bit of the previous coffee. full assessment next time.)

smells floral and sweet.

tastes a tiny bit bitter upfront. there are floral notes in there but im deficient in recognizing them. there is sort of a tart acidity too.

brewed coffee smells fruity and nutty.

first sip is mellow wine like fermenty fruitiness. after its pretty much mellow acidic fruitiness with a very slight walnut aftertaste. pleasant cup.

Riflessione sul costo della vita: il caffé di #arabica 100% ormai lo pago quasi 15 € al kg

(quello di #Eurospin pacco nero, che da miei benchmark è risultato ed è ancora quello con il miglior rapporto qualità prezzo in assoluto, ripeto SECONDO ME)

Solo che neanche 2 anni fa al kg il caffé lo pagavo esattamente la metà 🤔

Molti prodotti non sono aumentati così tanto come caffé e #cioccolato, ma in media i costi sono aumentati di minimo il 20% se non il 40-50% in pochissimo tempo

Hey coffee nerds, did you ever try to brew pure #robusta as pour over and drink it black?

I picked up a high quality one from Uganda at my local roaster. It has interesting notes but I am not sure if I can get used to the astringency in the after taste. With global warming it would great to have an viable alliterative to #arabica..

What about you?

Der #Klimawandel bedroht die #Kaffeeproduktion in #Brasilien.

#Dürre, #Hitze und #Starkregen führen zu #Ernteausfälle​n. Forschende entwickeln robuste #Arabica-Varianten im Labor, während einige Bauern auf #Agroforstwirtschaft setzen.

Die Zukunft des Kaffees liegt in Klimaanpassung und Vielfalt. Als günstiges Massenprodukt hat Kaffee ausgedient.

Wer es noch nicht mitbekommen hat:

☕ Kaffee wird immer teurer – und das hat viele Gründe. #Klimawandel, #Extremwetter und Spekulationen an der #Börse treiben die Preise in die Höhe.

Besonders betroffen sind Anbauländer wie #Brasilien und #Vietnam, die unter Dürre und Frost leiden.

Die gängigen Kaffeesorten #Arabica und #Robusta sind anfällig für Wetterkapriolen.🌱

Ce matin je teste un blend que l'on m'a offert : 80% #arabica, 20% #robusta noble. Il sent bon avec des notes de chocolat et a une jolie couleur marron. Je pars sur une mouture moyenne à la #chemex et on vise un un temps d'extraction de 2 minutes 30. #café
