The first time I had Bali Blue Moon was from Buddy Brew Coffee. I don’t know what about this coffee that struck me. Maybe it was the name or the notes that they described in the coffee, but it was a coffee I wanted to enjoy again. I decided that I wanted to find some [...]

I haven’t had any Guatemala Antigua that I can recall so this was a nice first. What drew me to this particular crop was the word “chocolate bomb” that was in the description. That was it. There was nothing else I needed to read. The coffee was ordered, and I was anxious to get this [...]

I’ve been working hard on roasting this past week or so trying to figure out the Behmor. Sometimes it seems like I have it all down and then other times I don’t. It’s a trial and error cycle that keeps going around. The only batch so far that seemed to actually taste decent enough to [...]

I am back with more home roasts. Monday I decided to fire up my Behmor 1600 and roast some Colombia Gaitania “Los Pijaos de Tolima” from Sweet Maria’s. This coffee has a Raisiny dried fruit sweetness, plum, clove, and cardamom spice in the finish. Extremely balanced between brightness and body. They recommend a City+ to [...]
