Ethiopian Suggestions

April 14th, 2018, 5:14 pm

can anyone make some Ethiopian suggestions? I hear about a blueberry note a lot, would like to check out that varietal. I tried Kenya SL-28 recently and it was very unique and different...picked up on some plum and raisin when adding half steamed milk. Looking to experience what Ethiopians are all about.

Thanks!

We have been enjoying this one. I would say the notes are accurate. They describe blueberries and cherry cordials. My wife was shocked when I said smell the coffee, now smell the bag of chocolate dipped cherries. Which are pretty good btw!

^ive had that Gedeo Worka from Klatch several times & roasted probably 20lbs of it. Highly recommend! It has a good amount of acidity though so I'm not sure what kind of shots it would make

Would this do better as French press or drip?

If you don't mind ordering from a lesser known roaster, this one is a blueberry bomb and not sour

I primarily pull it as espresso.

Shoot the gap & get a Kone! Some folks like paper filter for cleaner coffees such as Kenyan or perhaps Guat. For dry process coffees though a French Press is a terrific option.

Was about to place an order and noticed that the cheapest shipping ($13.36) was almost as much as the coffee ($13.95 for 12 oz). No thanks-------

David at Bodka does a wonderful job with these.

This one at Red Bird is has a nice blue berry flavor. Open the bag or grind it and you get that heavenly Ethiopian Yirgacheffe aroma. Kind of blue berry-ish fruit loops when pulled with steamed milk and some sugar.

Shipping is free for 4 or more pounds in an order, and reasonable below that.

Yea, that's rough. Sorry, didn't realize. I've never ordered online, just pick up locally. Looks like free shipping past $35.
