Just been to the Brighton Coffee Festival and picked up this lovely haul. Excited to dig into them.

Going to start testing my Coffee Recommendation Engine against them (and filming the results).

New bean day! Scenery Wilton Benitez Gesha.

Easily the best coffee I’ve made this year so far. Giving high end lemon cheesecake with a digestive biscuit base, decorated with flower petals and a single Turkish delight. Smooth and creamy and fabulous.

£15/100g. Pricey, but worth it.

Received these beans for Christmas! Don’t usually go for blends but big fan of Colombian and Ethiopian and tasting notes sound promising.

Aeropress calibration brew: 95°, 16g, 150g water, 40s brew time.

Low acidity, some sweetness but less than promised, and a lot of body.

Back to the Aeropress because those filters are so terrible and I have to source some new ones.

Still, getting consistently good brews from this setup. Impressed with the Saint Washed Koke beans.

So got some new “Hario” filters and, um, I suspect they might not be legit. See if you can guess which one is from the new batch.

End result for brews: massive clogging and almost double my usual brew time. Not ideal.

New Beans Day! I have not had a lot from Ethiopia recently so excited to dig into these.

Current coffee setup: Dual wield v60s for blind A/B tests.

I do the brews, Erin does the pours, then I score blind. Let the best recipe win.
