byron holcomb's second-year crop, roasted, unbelievably, shy of first crack. but slowly. super-velvety red fruit (strawberry?). cantaloupe.

rare wet-processed sulawesi, toarco estate. a month into roasting, finally nailing some rad molasses cookie and cherry espresso notes.

sulawesi toarco WP flatbean, in the syphon. suddenly molasses pastry becomes lamb - leg o' lamb - and some notes to teriyaki sauce. strange.

it's overly AC'ed & dead as the graveyard shift in the newsroom, but ehtiopia shakiso WP is fresh from the syphon, and it's all peach pitty.

roasting up the first burundi bwayi batch. trying a lighter finish than i've almost ever dared. here's hoping for a unique SO espresso.

CRAISINS. sage too. the city+ burundi bwayi makes a scintillating - and very light - espresso. 19g dose, pulled at 199F, 31 secs, 2.75 oz.

brazil cachoeira bourbon spro, roasted shy of 2nd crack on a slooow curve. 16g dose, 199f, 32-sec shots. like sprite with molasses. #coffee

the brazil cachoeira yellow bourbon espresso seems better fresher - 2 days out of the roaster. and sheesh: mango, prune, wet leaves. #coffee

the brazil cachoeira #espresso totally mellowing on day three, a sweet stream of raisiny juice with spicy honey underbite. #coffee

dilworth's brazil conquista:a tad overroasted (?), but tons of devil's food cake in the cupping bowl. as espresso: rum-ish. #cupping #coffee

first batches of the panama carmen dry-processed microlot. roast needs work. syphon-brewed: sweet woody notes, with thyme and oats. #coffee

panama carmen dry-process microlot in a chemex. roasted with a mid-range temp drop. getting floralier! but still woody. also, butter cookie.
