I have been trying Scott Rao Hario V60 pourover this week. 1:17 and blooming with 2 parts water the first 45 seconds then splitting the rest into 2 pours. A little stirring is included. We like it.

My brew ratio is 1:17 (exactly 59.5 g/L). That's roughly 8.5g per 5-oz cup.

I'm looking to hire someone to teach/help me to find the best roast profile for the 3 types of coffee that grow on my farm in nicaragua. I live in LA, but but could go anywhere in so cal with my Behmor for a roasting lesson. Please contact me if you're in

When your wife thinks 30 grams for a 6 cup setting is strong, you learn to drink muddy water when you are making coffee for both of you.

I use a rule of thumb of 60 grams per liter. 8 cups (1 liter, 32 oz) = 60 grams, 6 cups (3/4 liter, 24 oz) = 45 grams. 10 cups = 75 grams 12 cups = 90 grams

I just finished my first cup of the Panama Gesha from SM. It was absolutely fantastic, and this was the cheap stuff(relatively). I 2 weeks I can do another batch ---so I can stretch it out till this years comes in. Tom said that Lot 10 is intoxicating ---I got there on Lot 5. Even more important, I am marching up the learning curve. It tasted sort of lemony, but not quite. I read Tom's instruction and he said it tasted like lemon rind --- BINGO The next sip confirmed that I was tasting lemon rind This means two things to me. 1. My taste buds are earning to be accurate 2 I must be doing something right while roasting in my Behmor I am congratulating myself on my progress. I can still taste the wonderful coffee and am deciding how to do my next roast May the Force be with your cup

Congratulations, Clifford! It's great when a plan comes together, Isn't it? I bought some of each of that Gesha from Tom. Frankly, I would have never spent the money on the two high priced lots if the others had not been available as well. I haven't roasted lot 2 yet (I'm a bit intimidated...that's a lot of money to botch up) but will soon enough. The first three I've tried were outstanding and each was truly an improvement over the "lesser" bean. Have fun and thanks for the post about this bean. John Respect the bean.

Pura Vida's gifted Colombia. This is billed as a 'medium' roast. http://www.puravi...mbian.html The roast is darker than anything I have ever roasted. The oils are so pronounced that the roast reminds me of what our shoes were to look like during basic training. The grounds behaved differently in the vacpot, being one of the slowest drawdowns I have ever had. Not my cup of tea. B|Java |

John, It was lot 5 that I roasted, Tom wrote that Lot 10 is truly intoxicating. Ican not afford these and the others ??? out of reach, but I am looking forward to trying a 1/2 # of lot 1 after my next trial of 5 Yes, it is great when one finally sees progress May the Force be with your cup

The Rwanda CoE, #18, from Buf Cafe. Very, very balanced cup. Skosh of Half and Half. Black currants/orange delight. Bright bugger that I took to FC which will probably be my roast of choice with it. Much too bright for the Czarina, who runs from a Kenyan. A cup with which you dialogue. Love the complexity and nuances. The intl panel got it right. B|Java |

Vacuum pot of a Burundi Bwayi sample. Tree fruit, nice crisp acidity, chewy body, along with hints of caramel in the finish. Bunn Airpot drip of a Kenya sample blend--lots of citrus in this cup, along with spice hints with full range (not heavy) body and citrus zest in the finish. Wonder if the churchgoers have started to figure out my mark on which cup is my favorite of the morning (I put a tiny piece of a yellow sticky on the pot I want (don't label them lately). Four regular and 1 decaf every Sunday. |

Col COE, '08. Buena Vista, #18. It was stellar at 36 hours, good at 5 days. Today, it is just another Colombian. Last year's crop and so it fades quickly. While not a Colombian fan, it was the Choc bomb w/cream. B|Java Edited by BoldJava on 03/30/2009 6:17 AM |

First cup of Red Sea Blend after 2 days rest. I'm going to give it a couple more days to mature. Plus, today, in a hurry, I grabbed the Stainless Steel travel mug and I think it's giving some of it's own metallicness in the cup that shouldn't be there. CHAD Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster

CHAD--give that one 4 days. The Yemen in that blend fares better with more rest than 2 days.

I am having two cups today from coffees that were roasted to the brink of 2nd crack (but not into 2nd crack) last Sunday (04/05) in the RK Drum. In cup #1 is the Bali Organic "Blue Krishna" Kintamani - Oh my! What a nicely balanced cup of soft milk chocolate with good body - almost a melted-butter texture. In cup # 2 is the Brazil Cachoeira "Canario Bourbon" - This is one of my all-time favorite Brazils - sweet chocolates in a velvety body with some aromatics that makes one think cinnamon and a really good, long, satisfying aftertaste. Respectfully,

In my cup this morning I had two shots of homeroast SM Liquid Amber Blend and two shots of Klatch's 2008 USBC Competition Blend (comparing my roast with a really good commercial roast). It was all real good. I've got a blend I roasted Wednesday of Sumatra Lake Toba 19+ Extra Bold (about 20 seconds into second crack) and Guatemalan Huehuetenango Finca San Vincente (cut just before 2nd started) that I'll be pulling tomorrow morning. If I can wait that much longer. |

Bolivian FTO. After 2 days rest.....Bright and nutty, with a creamy body. Silky mouthfeel and lingering on the tongue/long finish. Definately picks up more character as it cools. Resembles a good kenya on the front end and ends up nothing like a kenya......not sure what:) Nice cup. A nice break from my usual exotic DP cup. Edit: On day 3....Brightness seems to have gotten swallowed up by creaminess! Kenya would be the last thing that would come to mind now. Like drinking milk chocolaty/nutty clouds of creamy fluff!

Panama Boquete Lerida Estate "Miel" from SM. Very creamy, smooth, floral aroma goes perfect on a Califirnia spring day. |

This morning, my wife delivered coffee to the bedside for me. Immediately, I could smell the fruit from the cup. There is booming fruit in the olfactory and on the palate, but I didn't remember roasting any Ethiopian coffees recently, so I went and looked at the label on the jar: Ethiopia Koratie DP, roasted in the RK Drum on 03/28/2009. Brewed in the Technivorm this morning and still booming with berry and melon after 3 1/2 weeks. What a fantastic way to wake up! What's in your cup? Respectfully,

Burundi Bwayi. It only has 12 hours rest, but I couldn't wait for a sip. Winey-chocolate with a nice pop of acidity. I'll give it a couple of days before I try it again... I think it will mature rather nicely! CHAD Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster
