• Day 7: Burundi Long Miles Gaharo Hill

  Getting back to trying this a second time. First sips went well. Felt an underlying carmel / dulce de leche kind vibe to it and it went down very smooth. I did have some issues with stalling in my ...

• Day 17: Mexico Finca Las Chicharras Natural

  Revisited this coffee again today and was pleasantly surprised at the fruitiness of the cup. Although I think I brewed it the same way, I don't remember getting such a big fruit factor on the initi...

• Day 15: Kenya Kagunyu AA Natural

  Quite an intense coffee from my perspective. Firstly noticed a high amount of acidity and sourness to after brewing. I'm giving it some time to cool to see if it settles. Unfortunately, I'm ju...

• Day 9: El Salvador Santa Rosa Honey

  Loving this coffee. I had a brain fart and forgot to adjust the grind size accurately, but I found I still got a good extraction. The acidity hits pretty quickly on this one followed by some juicy...

• Day 4: Colombia Aponte Village

  @Jordan Sadler @Nick Valaitis  I haven't made my brew yet, but the cooling factor improving the taste is quite interesting. I wonder if that means something like a Japanese style iced coffee (...

• Day 2: Ethiopia Hambela Bishan Fugu

  Used the recommended recipe and the timing was almost perfect. I'm not used to doing the giant middle pour to 200g so that's been interesting to try. Process feels a bit rushed, but I usually go by...
