About half way through a bag of Hausbrandt Acadamia - my first purchase of the brand, my usual beans being traditional Italian blends - Kimbo, Caffè Borbone, Fantini. Have a bag of Danesi waiting in the freezer. I had read on a few of the postings on here that it was a lighter...

This is my first post!

I'm wondering if anyone has had the (2-step fermentation) Colombia (Esperanza) Wush Wush from Big Shoulders (roaster)??
The first bag I got from them was sooooo goooood! I was dialed-in from the get-go!
Now... I re-bought... and I can't dial in for the...

Fellow Canucks, this old Canadian Roasters thread is now closed:
Canadians - Name Your 3 Top Roasters

So I started a new one here.

To all the Home Baristas in the Great White North -- where are you buying your beans these days? And what are you enjoying?

Lately, I've been...

I usually drink a 19g double shot espresso once per day, or if I brew, a single 20g brew.

I'm curious as to how much others drink per day/cup regularly. I've seen some things recently that make me wonder if I am making larger doses per cup @ 20g than most other people. Is it...

There has been a good amount of talk about Black and White Roasters on the What is wow'ing you? mega-thread so I thought I would give them a try. Big thanks to IMAWriter for bringing this to everyone's attention over on that thread.

I am pretty excited about this stuff 1)...

I know batches of beans can be slightly different from roast to roast (or so I hear). I have been trying so many different blends lately to find one I can be very happy with. I thought that was Nossa Teodoro. Yet my last batch seems to be rather blah, not as rich. I have tried...

I've been making espresso for a while, but don't really have a good idea of the taste and handling differences between light/medium/dark roasts. I think so far nearly everything I've been getting advertises itself as medium .

Can you suggest three representative coffees for me...

Though normally I don't use Trader Joe's coffees for espresso, these are not normal times -- and I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of their blends produces (for me) more than acceptable results. That is, if one ever has a hankering for a reverse-engineered Lavazza at a...
