pourover of a blend of Guatemala, Mexico, Ethiopia, and Colombia (YES PLZ The Mix 365 "Front Row Seat").
A four coffee blend would be heresy or chaos to a lot of roasters, but this is really balanced.
Milk chocolate, pear, marzipan, praline, satsuma. Clean. Round. Impressive long finish.

Currently drinking a delicious washed Honduras from grower/agronomist Katia Duke. The kind of balance I love from the best Central America coffees—round, mellow, with delicately layered vibrance. Stroopwaffle. Melon. Hint of baking spice.

Truly I suck at marketing but the coffees we’re shipping out tomorrow are fantastic and I took advantage of some nice lighting in the roastery to try and say so.

Agreed—a challenging customer service environment plus a lot of small technical details. Lots of folks can't cut it.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

As a green buyer, I've been saying yes to so many insanely good coffees lately... I need to get to better at selling beans or I'm going to end up in trouble.

another countertop blend -- a natural Sidamo Ethiopia and a washed Kenya.
Candy-like sweetness, perfectly round, great mouthfeel. Berry jam, hint of lime, jasmine. Chuggable.

realizing as the sun gets low in the sky that the two cups of coffee I had this morning were not enough.
Maybe time to attempt brewing a very small pour over? 7g:120ml?

I keep adding to my notes for a video about the future of baristas in the modern coffeebar...
I feel strongly that the best coffeebar experiences, for me (on both sides of the counter), have been when the person pulling the shots is the first point of contact/taking the drink orders. #coffeesky

drinking a sample of a washed Ethiopia. Grind might've been too fine, pour-over went long leading to a slightly astringent finish hurting some of the flavor articulation. A small splash of water to dilute the brew opens it back up again revealing some berry, lime, green tea, excellent florals.

Civet coffee isn't that good, wouldn't score above mid-tier specialty coffee in a blind cupping, and the commercial production and marketing of it is full of ethical lapses and bullshit mythology.
This is just more science-washing of bogus claims.

Starting my day off wrong with the latest lengthy junk science paper attempting to explain the dubious special properties of civet poop coffee. ☕
Bottom line: the critters are better at selecting only ripe cherry and any controlled depulping/fermentation (even a civet's gut) can change flavor.

“… fermentation in the civet’s innards does add a little something extra to the coffee’s flavor, including amping up the fat content and the concentrations of certain aromatic compounds”.

Coffee beans pooped out by civets really are tastier. Here's why
Pricey civet coffee gets its cred from its journey through the mammal’s gut, which changes the content of fat, protein, fatty acids — and even caffeine.

tasted samples of some incredible single farm Mexico microlots, at least one of which will be landing in my lap.
notes from my fave:
Toffee, cashew creaminess, bit of peach… sweeeetness amping up as it cools. Kraft caramels, Juicy Fruit gum. Delicate. Articulated. Must have.

Pour-over of Tsebel-Chire (washed) - Sidama, Ethiopia ☕
Tea-like, a jasmine floral that carries long into a nice aftertaste, mango, plum, cocoa, slight almond, slight vanilla. Medium body, nice roundness, unusually delicate. Seems to be shining best with a lighter brew ratio (1:18).

arrival sample of a washed Honduras from grower Katia Duke that we'll be roasting soon... caramel, stroopwaffle, milk chocolate, a bit of blackberry and lime.
A lot of Honduras on the horizon for us that I'm excited about.
