Brandywine coffee roasters

Surprised not to see a topic on Brandywine coffee, mentioned instead within various threads. I read about them in one of those threads and everything I've drunk thus far (espresso) has been fantastic Ethiopian Chelbesa bright and floral and light on the tongue but not overly so. First day after a we...

Black and White Classic help

I haven't had a problem with too fresh causing gushers, but that's just me. Could you be grinding too finely causing channeling and gushing instead of an even extraction? Hows your extraction pattern look (if you have a bottomless pf)

Best instant coffee?

I've had a number of B&W instant coffees and they're excellent. Highly recommend for when brewing your own isn't possible, or you're too lazy. They're not cheap (about $3/cup), but they're very very good

What's WOWing you right now (coffees, roasters)

Just started pulling this coffee and my mind is somewhat blown. I can't say I've ever experienced a coffee like this. It's like a fruit juice wine

Large flat burrs and fast shots

Old thread but I noticed the same thing when I got my monolith max SLM burrs. I found it really easy to overextract coffees. I assumed it might be because given the better unimodal distribution of a huge flat allows me to grind finer without choking the machine
