Discuss flavors, brew temperatures, blending, and cupping notes.

Glad I could return the favor. Once I learned about small sizes I've never looked back :)

Woo! I hear *that*, Jorge.

Re: the Barismo sampler, here's a [presumably] related project in the works that I saw on reddit:

Valverde Coffee Roasters (Inslava)

Noticed they offer a nice 3 pack of 10 oz at a great price.

I read some of it but didn't quite understand what it was. A sampler pack decided upon by reddit users?

I noticed that Modest coffee roasters you linked to in the "free shipping" thread also has a sampler :)

Thanks, Jorge. I added Modest's sampler (three 6-oz. bags) to the first post. I'm not adding Valverde because the bags in their sampler are too big for my taste; I'll stick to 8 oz. or less per sample here, for better or worse.

An article from Roast magazine's "Daily Coffee News" today made me aware of two little samplers that some of you might find interesting:

1. 1000 Faces--6 different FAF micro-lots: http://www.1000facescoffee.com/fazendaa ... lezamicro/
2. Stone Creek--3 different processing methods for the same Guatemalan coffee: https://www.stonecreekcoffee.com/mercha ... an-box-set

I'm a little over-stocked, but next week I'll consider picking up one of these.

Also, a heads up that Populace will soon be offering a sampler; for more, see here: http://populacecoffee.com/blogs/news/14 ... its-coffee
