I ordered 17ft Ceiling espresso from Blue Bottle for the first time.
When it arrived I started organizing it into the 50ml centrifuge tubes that I'd used for 20g shots of Intelligentsia Black Cat in the past, but 20g didn't come close to fitting in there. I needed around 60ml...
I'm curious if any roasters out there exist who focus on espresso using Robusta beans? I know Robusta beans have earned a poor reputation for being of poor quality and what have you, but I'm certain a good quality Robusta exists...

I just was ready to place an order for what has been added to my buy again list of tried & true or tried and forget. Olympia's Big Truck & Sweetheart blends are very good. Unfortunately don't know if it is there or everywhere where shipping has gone up crazily. Shipping for two...

The one thing I haven't been able to unlock is the joy of espresso from lightly roasted beans. The dark...
Recently, I had two coffees Tim Wendelboe. Both were very good, maybe best coffee I have brewed. I want to get more but shipping was a lot - I used NHL. Nordic Post is about 1/3 the cost but I assume it takes longer. Anyone use it for a Wendelboe order to USA? How long did it...
Hi I'm more of a passive person on the site for the past 12 years or so and have been reading more lately since time is aplenty during the Covid shutdown.
First some background, my wife and I lived in Zurich, Switzerland for several years in the '90s and used to travel to Como...
