I made up some indexes to Tim Windelboe's Periscope videos - I hope that they help you find what you want without sitting through the long sessions. The four videos (so far) are here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... Ppd_n9dpYs

A short summary:
Roasting - Went well above my head, quite technical (RoR, airflow, etc.).
Pour-over (Manual brewing) - Perhaps to address a wider audience, this one is very accessible. Lots about aeropress brewing, and coffee generally.
Espresso - Probably the most interesting to H-B'ers. Talks about the change in his shop's espresso from 2010 to today. Good advice for newbies - spend the money on a good grinder and get a basic machine like a Silvia .
Cupping for Roasting QC - doesn't sound interesting, but I found this one the best and have watched it quite a few times. It really changed how I taste - and enjoy - coffee.

Please note that the indexes are slanted by my opinions - for example, he does go on about refractometers and feels strongly that everyone who is serious about coffee should have one. However, these videos convinced me that refractometers are not very useful to me, in a home environment (where you taste what you brew). He does make very convincing arguments about their use in a shop or by a roaster, though (where others taste what you make).

33:20 Summary

Thanks for doing this, Craig. It makes a great resource even better.

He's back on Periscope ... 12 or so minutes about this year's Esmeralda Gesha, how he roasted the 150kg that he purchased, the process of purchasing ($250 for samples!), etc. Also, the coffeeawesome.net podcast he references for more info about the farm is here: http://www.coffeeawesome.net/may-21-hac ... esmeralda/

00:40 Intro
01:11 Background on the farm and their gesha, some history about the gesha hype, ref. coffeeawsome blog
04:15 The price of this coffee this year - $40US/lb
04:43 Tasting notes of the Gesha he bought - tangerines
05:05 Now he designs cups - this design is for "high citric/floral" coffees
05:50 The sample process from this farm - 14 samples, $250 - he hasn't even roasted the natural samples(!)
06:50 His cupping process - keeps harvest times in mind. Cupped above 90 points.
08:42 The selling/auction process. He bought one lot - 150kg (Math digression: $40/lb = $13,200, plus he had it airfreighted. His website price is about $45/250g (just over a half-pound).)
09:10 Kopi Lowak, 'best coffee in the world' - not really, but this coffee might be.
09:48 Roasting preferences. 1:10 development time, but still lighter than any of his other coffees
11:17 More tasting notes
11:50 Reference to coffeeawesome.net

Man!! you really did an awesome job with this. Thank you so much

The samples this year yielded many stellar coffees, a few which weren't even geisha cultivars. The shipping is via DHL and super fast and there was about 26 or 27 samples in total, half of which, were the geisha cultivars Tim spoke of.

There's two things that stand out that I really like. One, the "flash in the pan" still hasn't faded, even with more competition in the geisha world, lower prices etc, La Esmeralda Geisha is still at the pinnacle of the field in terms of cup quality. And second, how diverse the preferences can be. In my opinion and many others, the naturals squashed the washed geishas this year. But Tim clearly prefers the washed and that's fine, it leaves more for us.

His video series is quickly becoming my favorite to follow.

God i wish this were shoot in landscape mode

So I just gave in, and ordered a 250g bag of Tim's Hacienda La Esmeralda Giesha. I'm not really sure how to brew it to get the most out of it on my end. He recommends against espresso since it's so lightly roasted that it would be hard to overcome the acidity. Perhaps a Slayer could handle it, but I think it would just be a waste of 20g on my machine. I was thinking just some aeropresses or simple pour overs. Or would I be better off doing a cold brew perhaps (something I don't have a lot of experience in). I just don't want to screw it up, 250g will go quick. Try them all perhaps.

Lucky you! I looked myself but could not justify the shipping costs as well.

Tim would probably sigh heavily at thought of using it in cold brew ( he has mentioned a few times he does not care for it at all).

If it were me I would only be brewing it V60 1cup or in the Clever dripper.

For the fanboy, Tim Wendelboe did an interview with European Coffee Trip that I missed when it was posted in May 2016. I like listening to what Wendelboe has to say as he isn't as dogmatic as, say, Perger, or as pedantic as Rao.

15:53 for seven questions/answers on:
- developing tasting coffee abilities - always be comparing, but try to normalize
- roast defects - he took an SCAE course which tasted defects
- his love for a life in coffee - he's had multiple different career projectories
- why he does single-origin espresso, and not blends - likens it to wine, but admits blends can be awesome
- time/task management - running any small/medium enterprise 101
- developing direct-trade (farmer-to-roaster) relationships - it is just like dating
- his guilty pleasures - for coffee, when in Italy, do as Italians do - he drinks bar espresso with sugar

baldheadracing, thank you for sharing
