• October Echelon: Panama Morgan Estate

  As the coffee ages I'm now getting faster drawdown times - under 2 minutes - with the same grind and recipe. The cup keeps getting better with a really nice complexity and body. It's really interes...

  First brew with this coffee using Elika's recipe was excellent. I'm getting lots of sweetness and fruit. Any recommendations for small tweaks that might reduce the natural process funkiness? This i...

  Increasing the dose by 1g made a huge difference. Could also be the extra time off roast compared to last week contributing to getting better extraction. Im getting some excellent cups now. The com...

  I've brewed it 4 times now and am also getting a pretty subtle cup. Light body, pleasant sweet and fruit flavors, and not much jasmine or herbals until it really cools. My brew times have been clos...

  My drawdown times have been consistently 2:30-3:00 with a pretty fine grind and the recommended recipe using third wave water. The bed dries between each pour. The drawdown time hasn't been a probl...

  I noticed a huge improvement in the flavor profile of the coffee at 12 days off the roast. Now I'm getting that really interesting and pleasant manuka honey that Elika mentioned. I also think I'm g...

  I'm absolutely loving this Panamanian Gesha. I tried it with a high uniformity grinder (zp6) and only got citrus. With a broader distribution burr set (ssp lab sweet) I've been getting all the tast...

  This coffee has an incredible aroma. I've been pushing the grind finer with the zp6 (3.2) with still quick drawdown times and a great complex cup. Turbo shots 3:1 in 15-19 seconds have also been re...

  This Eugenioides is unreal. I've definitely never heading anything like it. I'm hesitant to experiment with the recipe because it was perfect with the conversion to Ode with SSP. Thanks to Onyx for...

  I used 17g dose and pulled out 50g in 19 seconds with a paper filter in the portafilter and pressure profiled to maintain near constant flow. I then ran the shot through a v60 paper and diluted wit...

  I've brewed this months coffee now a few times as a "nomacano" - turbo shot run through a v60 paper filter and diluted to taste - and it's been incredible. All the tasting notes are there, silky bo...

  Loving this coffee too - brewing with the orea v4 narrow with the fast attachment. Brew time 2:30 with medium fine using ssp mp burrs. It's holding up great 3 weeks after roast!

• Ecuador La Soledad Sidra "Wave" Natural

  I know it might be heresy, but I made the Soledad Sidra as an espresso. 17g dose in, 50g out with a pressure profiled shot like the Rao blooming espresso. The shot was wild - like drinking cherry s...

  For those interested in a smaller dose, I had a great cup today with 12g dose, coarser grind than onyx recommended, 24 g bloom for 30sec and slow steady pour to 180g total using a melodrip. Total b...
