So ... Odin in Toronto and Pallet Coffee Roasters in Vancouver made it onto the list of the 50 best coffee shops in the world (I don't think that the list is ranked) https://bigseventravel.com/2019/07/worl ... fee-shops/

Anyone been to either? Odin looks cool ...

There is a western Canadian supplier of greens in Calgary, AB. I have bought directly so do not know shipping charges but should be less than SM > Canada. Prices of the greens varies but the ones I tried were reasonable.

I received it three days post roast so that is pretty good. I tend to lean towards a med+ roast but more recently I have been experimenting with lighter roasts. The Epic espresso is their lightest espresso roast and it was a pleasant surprise. Not sure it would qualify as a comfort blend for me, but very fruity and smooth @ 5 days post roast. Enjoyed both as an espresso and americano. I also tried a SO but it seems to need to sit longer.

Should I expect light roast SOs to take a bit longer post roast to be ready for espresso?

Yes, for proper light roast SOs you're looking at 1-2 weeks to degas post roast before pulling shots.

Has anyone tried the COLOMBIA LA PENSILVANIA SINGLE ORIGIN ESPRESSO from 49th Parallel? Sounds delightful...

Light roasted SO espresso - "La Pensilvania is an extreme clean cup with flavors of dark honey and cola with a buttery finish."

i got the burundi from trebilcock coffee, it was pretty good, how is yours?

The Burundi is excellent and my next volume purchase. This time around the Suga pop is an Ethiopian washed and natural blend which also works well as a drip / p.o. These are lighter roasted coffees with that je ne sais quoi, one tastes in great coffee. Not something that pairs well with cream for my taste.

My current bean (purchased online from www.cafune.ca), is a fantastic roast from Kaito located in Hudson, Québec. Their LOVE is a medium roast with nutty / chocolate flavours, makes traditional style espresso that doesn't get lost in milk based drinks.

I decided to try the Mexican Altura from idrinkcoffee.com in Milton, Ontario. I did a little search on HB and did not find much on high grown Mexican coffee. A quick web search yielded good reviews.

I will report back after some testing. Any thoughts or past experience you can share?
