How was your morning coffee today? - Page 7

Terrible. I bought 1/2 lb of regular & 1/2 lb of decaf yesterday, from the place I usually get my beans. They're even more stale than usual.

The shot was so bad, that even after I put it in a Latte I poured 1/2 of it out. I've had sink shots, but never a sink Latte. (Except from you know who... S.B.)

I ran out of Hairbender, so cranked the temp down and tried some the Stumptown Guatamala Finca el Injerto in the espresso machine. Pleasantly surprised. No grind adjustment, and got a nice ristretto pull with beautiful velvety crema. Will have to continue this single origin experiment on later.

Lovely.
New crop Fazenda Cachoeira from Ecco Caffe.
Subtle, elegant and balanced. Floral aromatics, honeyed fig, light chocolate notes and soft sweet fruits.

Excellent today. Pulling ~17g doubles of Ecco Caffe Beloya (not the one they call espresso). 203 was a bit hot, so I turned it down half a degree, and perfect mix of muted chocolate and strawberry, and some other sweet taste like dilute raspberry, but not exactly, that my mediocre palate cannot quit identify. Between my sister in law and I, we had six.

Quite good in fact. Had some gautamala La trinidad from SM. Full city.

It was a nice SO americano, pulled as a normale. It'll get dialed down for a ristretto soon. Americanos are my morning drink. I like my espresso machine to much to use my press.. but I still like coffee first thing in the AM.

Not exactly pro stuff on my part, but why not!

Acid... Have change my coffee blends, and the shot was under extracted...

Shame on me... :oops:

While it's not espresso I am enjoying a deliciously sweet cup of PT's La Lainez COE #6 brewed in my Hario NCA 5. A citrus nectar that shouldn't be missed.

Ecco Caffe Fazenda Cachoeira Screen-dried Special Prep - gorgeous coffee with tons of honeyed-tangerine, caramel, floral aromatics and an elegant, rounded profile. One of those "please sir may I have another" shots.
