Intelligentsia - What are your favorites?

I'd say start with 1 week post roast then be sure to consume within 2-3 weeks post roast. I use their subscription service, receive a bag roughly within a week of ordering. I haven't checked in a while how many days post roast after receipt but I usually consume a 12 oz bag within 1 to 1.5 week. Tow...

Intelligentsia - What are your favorites?

They've expanded their Black Cat variations from when I 1st had them. Hard to say which one is the "original" Currently: Classic - is this the original?

Instant Coffee - Revisited

Have you tried some of the Japanese Instant Coffee brands? {link}. I like the UCC brand myself but haven't really tried the other brands. They're probably less expensive than the Blue Bottle one but haven't really done the price comparison. Also, I find Japanese tend to favor "deep" vs the acidic I ...

Filter 2.1 brewing (Decent DE1)

I'm confused and maybe I need some clarity I thought one uses the Coffee Filter basket in conjunction with a dripper like a Hario.

Office Coffee Drama

I did this for myself only, but then the Safety patrol came around saw it in my cubicle and nixed it... Can't blame them, with an exposed boiler - high heat and high pressure who knows if someone came into my cube and tried it when I wasn't around. We had a "coffee club" but

Intelligentsia Roasting lighter than TW, DAK, Manhattan (CONFIRMED)

I've been slurping Black Cat since I started with espresso back in 2008 or so. This cat changes skin every now and then Through the years there have been reports of it being too sour, too bitter, too light, too dark, even too chocolaty , ie different than the last time they tasted it.

Intelligentsia Roasting lighter than TW, DAK, Manhattan (CONFIRMED)

Intelligentsia Roasting lighter than TW, DAK, Manhattan (CONFIRMED)

They do have various blends of Black Cat. I"m curious how their new "Sublunar" Black Cat blend measures compared to Classic. I've put in an order in addition to my Classic subscription for comparison. I do know compared to Saka I don't consider Black Cat a "classic" espresso blend
