Aida Batlle Selections: Finca Kilimanjaro Burundi Process Discussions
The Burundi process is growing into a favorite, must have coffee as my first and only roast ages. As a pourover on day 2 it was delicious but a faint off taste of unidentifiable to me origins held it back a bit. By day 4 pourover and SO espresso was superb. Today, at day 5, I pulled one of

Aida Batlle Selection: Washed Kilimanjaro Discussion
I will second the practicality of taking an aliquot of a coffee delivery that will not be consumed (roasted) in several months and vacuum sealing and storing in the freezer. Very early in the pandemic we purchased a chest freezer to store food and coffee. The freezer is great because it is at least ...

Aida Batlle Selection: Washed Kilimanjaro Discussion
Mary, you are a poet. To continue the theme, I believe Aida's coffees, properly roasted, reflect the best that is possible to get out of the bean. My roast of the Burundi process took a day or two longer than the washed or Natural to shine. Today it expressed more sweet fruits without a small

What current practice/espresso gear will we look back on very differently in 20 years?
In 20 years - I can't believe they took perfectly ripe cherries from a prime origin and farm and let them ferment for a week with or without oxygen!

Looking to upgrade from Quickmill Anita
Chris Coffee has been very good to me as well. I too had a QM Anita for some 11 years. When it was time, I went with a new QM 67. It has been fine for 3+ years now but I would never again get a vibe pump machine. Rotary is the way to go. I live about 2

Aida Batlle Selection: Washed Kilimanjaro Discussion
I have now had the opportunity to directly compare the Natural Process obtained from Roastmasters with Washed. I raved and still rave about the rich winey but citrus fruit forward cup as SO espresso or pourover. It's just delicious. The washed process, however, is to my tastes, top of the lot. Its c...

Prodigal Coffee Roasters
My sincere apologies to Mark for my ignorance. Not the first time and surely not the last. I've had at least a few Pink Bourbon's and they can be among my favorite coffees. Enjoy

Prodigal Coffee Roasters
Luca Thank you so much for your clarifying remarks. I do believe that we are pretty much in agreement. I especially appreciate your discussion of Q grading and the ACE scoring. As a rank amateur enthusiast who wants to learn (a bit) more, I would like to see more discussion of this from the point of...
