New coffee has arrived :)

Hello there,

Today, I want to give you a short review of coffee which I recently bought. Well, exactly I've bought two different coffees, first one is a blend of robusta (Indie Cherry AAA) with another blend of arabicas (Colombia Finca Rafael, Brazil Alfenas Dulce, Guatemala Finca Carolina, dark roasted one. Its destination is be brewed by express machine :). Ratio is 40 to 60 (robusta to arabica), according to robusta it has a sweeter taste. I've done it in my machine with factors: Dose 17 g, Ratio 2:1, Temperature of  out-coming water: 91°C, Time: 26 s. I'd drunk it before and I wanted to do an experiment with a new one recipe, so that looks on a diagram:
That is only my opinion, I'm not a professional coffee tester. Well, that what impressed me was a crema, because was very rich and so fluffy :). The taste that I feel is caramel and chocolate. It's a very good morning coffee if we need a very quick wake up.

The other one that I chose, but in this case to an alternative method was a blend of Bourbon, Typica, Heirloom varieties from Kochere region, plantation Alemu Washing Station or Banko Gutiti. This coffee was also an experiment, but this one I hadn't drunk before. I've done it in Chemex once with a recipe: Dose 18 g, Ratio: 6 g/100 g (coffee/water), Temperature: 89°C, Infusion 60 g and after 40 s I was pouring thrice 80 g of water's amount, Extracting time was 3,5 mins. It was so fruity, very sweet like fruit's tea :). My diagram:
I have to add that this coffee of a dripper isn't so good like of Chemex (my personal opinion), taste that I feel is fruits, exactly citrus fruits with a sweetness.

That's all for today feel free comment this post :)

El Salvador and Brazil

Image
Hello there This post will be the same as last one, because it's continuation of taste series. Today, I'll present coffee of Brazil and El Salvador. With every brew, unfortunately, I've been realizing that the roast grade is accidental... But anyway I prepare the same brewings, i.e., Espresso, Latte, Alternative one (usually in Chemex). So this two were quite good. It is my subjective note. For more information about how I'm brewing and appraising it please read the last update. Salwador SHG: Taste profile (of manufacturer): cinnamon and spicy with berries aftertaste. Opinion: Alternative=3/5, Latte=4/5, Espresso=3,5/5. Why: Roasted to dark to conserve the taste as an alternative, in espresso was like others, I mean, nothing original. Brazylia Santos: Taste profile (of manufacturer): mango, melon, orange and black tea.  Opinion: Alternative: 3,25/5, Latte=4/5, Espresso=4/5. Why: Like Salwador roasted to dark and it's impossible to extract tha...

Strong enough

Hello there, Do you remember the coffee that I mentioned in the last post entry? That one which time of freshness keeps for 3 months. So today I want to give you some information about it. Well, it's darkly roasted coffee with a mysterious sticker on package... I think that's a strong woman, but maybe it's a picture that shows how somebody could feel after drinking it, I don't know, but it's kind of funny picture, look at it!   So, the aesthetic part we have done, it's good to get down to the taste. Its destination is rather to express machine or French pot than to Chemex or Dripper, because of dark roasted level. It contains 100 % of arabica coffee beans, but it's not a single origin, well it comes from Brazil, Guatemala, Salvador, Costa Rica and India. The taste is quite good, I mean, not surprising, but also not disappointing. It's a good gift for someone who we don't know so much. I'm talking (writing) about espresso, in the cause of...

How to start...

Hello there, Maybe it's too late to resolve the title problem. I refer to how to start drinking coffee in another (at least no typical way, only grounded coffee with boiled water or instant). At first, it's good to ask yourself what amount of money you can spend on it. I'll demonstrate few basic options to start it well. The first one can be hario v60 dripper the basic set with dripper, serving pot, 50 paperfilters and plastic spoon which can be used to measure costs approx. £15. Basic Rhinowaveres hand grinder costs approx. £28 and basic gooseneck kettle (you can bought it even for £1, but for check the real cost I will calculate it with £10 price. I assume that everyone has timer and kitchen thermometer. Equals £53. Second one can be Chemex which costs approx. £30 with £10 filters and £28 grinder equals £68 (for 4 cups set). The same price if you want to buy aeropress. Third one can be French press which costs approx. £8 (at Ikea store) with grinder equals £36. And ...
