If you're ever in Edinburgh, stop in here for a phenomenal cup of craft coffee. I wish I had bought more beans when I was there!
The flavors are bursting, it's clear and complex. Blackberry and mint are the notes, but it pleasantly reminds me of cherry tobacco...I think?

Every year, The Barn Coffee sends a Christmas Coffee in its monthly subscription. I've been enjoying this immensely for the last few days!

It was very floral, which was surprising to me.

There were no bad coffees in this year's calender. Overall, this calender was a great value for the price.

Day 11: 19g Coffee Advent Calendar
SW Mug of the Day: Grand Muffin Tarkin
15g coffee, 200ml, grind size 3. I somehow messed up, and it came out too watery. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I could really smell the cherry, though.

SW Mug of the Day: 7th Fleet Logo
The "cream" notes were what really stood out to me on this one. Very smooth and pleasant.
17g, 250ml, glass pour over, grind size 6.
December 10, 2024 at 11:49 PM
Here's a quick biff so you can hear it. It's not too loud. It is a coffee grinder. It's going to make some noise. And for less than 200€ I can't complain!
December 10, 2024 at 9:14 AM
I got the Fellow Opus Cubical Burr Grinder on sale for 190.90€, RRP is 228.69€. I think it is a great value for the price point. There are 11 grind settings w/3 more points
b/n each setting. Disassembly for cleaning isn't very intuitive, but I figured it out.

Day 9: 19g Coffee Advent Calendar
SW Mug of the Day: Sleepy Chiss 17g of ground beans, grind size 6, 250ml water. Smelled overwhelmingly like peanut butter. The chocolatey flavor is right up front, and the citrus is like a bite at the end. Interesting coffee!

Day 7: 19g Coffee Advent Calender
SW Mug of the Day: Captain Fordo
I used 15g of beans, 200mls of water with the Aeropress on grind size 4.5. I didn't get much from this one. I tried again later with a pour over, and I just didn't taste much 🤷🏻‍♀️ The beans smelled good, though.

Day 4: 18g Coffee Advent Calendar
SW Mug of the Day: Artoo
I used 22g of ground coffee, on setting 8.5 grind.
In the morning, I used the French Press = meh. Then in the afternoon I used a V6, and the lime notes were so strong it was like if this coffee was actually a mojito in disguise. Great!
