Blueberry (or any berry) bomb coffee recommendations?
Not straight blueberry. It reminds me of the blueberry bombs of past with the intense fruit in that direction, but without the over-ripe base notes. Like the bag says, grape bubble gum and strawberry

Blueberry (or any berry) bomb coffee recommendations?
I ran into a guy that works with/for an importer that supplies US roasters. He said there's a blueberry muffin bean that I should keep my eye out for. It's not out yet apparently but coming up. It's a Kenyan natural from Kagunyu and Rukira

The Meticulous Home Espresso Machine (Kickstarter)
I'm pretty sure that was shot in Puebla, Mexico, at an altitude of about 7,000 feet where the boiling temperature is about 93.8C

The Meticulous Home Espresso Machine (Kickstarter)
Here's a nice look at the workflow, if you don't mind being called a scumbag (Emilee's schtick name for her followers). She's using a previous version of the magnetic cover. The newer one has a handle that can slide it up out of the way. {video}

Can someone explain the Normcore tamper to me?
Frustration at myself for not being able to explain it clearly for everyone in my earlier posts in the thread

Can someone explain the Normcore tamper to me?
Ugh. Once it bottoms out, it rests on the part that sits on the edge of the basket, so no matter how hard you push it's not giving any more force to the plunger inside the basket because it's not moving any further. Imagine you had a pogo stick and set it up over a 5 gallon bucket

I didn't see that he'd just purchased the first bag. I'm guessing he was at the end of the first bag and about to order, thinking it was so good he should share. You might be right that the new bag could use some rest, especially compared to the old one. Based on my experience, that one was
