Received this month's La Marzocco espresso, Onda Origins from Guatamala a couple of days ago.

My bags show a roast date of 1/9/2020. The roaster's recommendation is for 2 weeks rest time, 20g-in/38g-out in 27 seconds, 200F at 6 Bars.

Got into it today, with only 8 days post...

Hi All,

I have not come across a thread discussing current favorite coffee roasters. There is obviously a lot of options and many great coffee roasters across the U.S. So I wanted to start a thread for HB members and your top 5 coffee roasters.

Hi all -

Very new to getting into coffee at a higher level and curious if anyone can recommend some great roasters I could go buy coffee directly from in Washington. For reference, I am in a town that's about 25 miles north of Seattle.

Looking for other Canadian online options (with free or reasonable shipping fees) that carry fresh, interesting coffees for possible subscription. Please...

I've always assumed beans are fresh for about 2 weeks from roast. So you have about 3 days for them to outgas, then after day 14 or so, flavor starts to fall off.

The other day I visited a local Brooklyn roaster, and saw the beans for sale were all 10 days old or older. So I...

Group,

I have recently been venturing into coffees by George Howell...first was Tarrazu. This coffee was wonderful, medium-light, well developed drawing out dark chocolate and fruity notes. For my next coffee order, I'm thinking about trying their Antiqua LaFlor. Chocolate,...
