I'm opening CC Hologram in a couple days (post roast will be 8 days). Heard from searching, it is somewhat fruity (blueberry) with some chocolate & complex notes. People do 18g in a double basket at 200° to 202°. This will be the first time I've tried Hologram. Some reviews say...

Hi there guys.

It's been a while since new beans WOWed me.

Currently, I am brewing Tropical Weather by Onyx Coffee Labs - which is probably my favorite blend of all time for espresso.

I am starting this discussion with the hope to learn more about other coffees that...

When multiple people taste the same coffee under the same environment and cupping protocol, how closely do their notes typically match each other?

And how consistent are their tasting notes if repeated (blindly of course) on a different day or later in the day?

Getting up to speed on this art I have burned through alot of expensive coffee. I found this coffee at King Soopers on sale for about $13.50 for 18oz with a Dec 20th roast date just under 30 days out. Could a real pro even taste the difference between at 15 and 30 day roast...

Hi,

I'm looking for close local fresh roasted coffee available South of Seattle to North of Tacoma, the closer to the middle the better. I currently order most of my Espresso roasts from Paradise Coffee or SBC and want to start buying local.

I've searched and most roaster...

Having apparently mastered my local guy's main espresso blend, I tried his other espresso blend. I also purchased Guatemala light roast for my morning coffee.

So I decided to try that light roast this afternoon, just out of curiosity. Turned out pretty good! Not lacking crema...

Is it some coffee industry joke that I'm just not privy to?
I think I've tried about eight different anaerobic beans in the last few months, and they all suck. I get absolutely no aroma when grinding them, and they all just taste extra sour.
I thought maybe it was just a roast...

I am looking for decaf recommendations for filter and espresso. My first experience with decaf was Klatch's decaf espresso blend which to me tasted awful both espresso and filter. I recently bought Colombia Jairo Arcila Natural decaf from Onyx which is quite good. I am looking...

Hi All, I used to get Paradise Classico and Neuvo as green beans and roast them myself. They stopped selling them green. And suggestions for some good espresso blends similar to these that I can blend and roast myself?

Thanks
