Roasted a couple weeks ago. The roast got away from me a little bit and it went darker than I intended so I decided to use it for espresso. And it’s been very good. Smooth, pleasant acidity and sweetness. No bitterness of Smokey flavors.

It was my third time roasting these coffee beans. Kenya coffee, specifically peaberries have been hard to roast. They very dense and require slower heat, from my experience anyways. First time I roasted them, they skipped first crack and went straight into a rolling second crack, which is a dark to very dark roast, still drunk it cause I’m not gonna waste coffee and it was a learning experience. Just tasted like a typical smokey/Starbucks roast.

But... but... that color? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?!?!

Color? The crema? That’s usually a sign of a good espresso shot. Crema doesn’t always translate to a good shot though. From the side it would like something like this.

No worries! Espresso, specially straight espresso is definitely an acquired taste. But when done right it can be incredible. No other way of making coffee really comes close to the extraction/velvety “mouth feel” of espresso. I hate that term btw but there’s no other way to describe that I know of.

Plus espresso really hangs onto the coffee flavor which makes it good for milk based coffee drinks. Pour over and espresso are my favorite ways to drink coffee.

I can really go into a deep dive on coffee once I’m started lol

@Freak , since @Souce has decided to abandon the zone should rename this thread to Volfan_89's coffee discussion. He used the words "mouth feel" instead of cat crap. I think he's a shoe in!

When I worked in the restaurant business I drank a lot of espresso. Also enjoy it after dinner at restaurants, but that hasn’t happened since March.

But isn’t that sort of the point of morning coffee? Along with the waking-up bit.

I got a Flair espresso machine back in the spring. It was a life saver with the shut down that happened. I want to get a Rancilio Silvia whenever I upgrade. Espresso machines can get very expensive. But I tell myself I’ll be saving money by not spending $5+ tip on an coffee shop espresso though lol

Until I persuaded my doc got my doc to agree that black coffee did not affect lab values for common labs, they had to deal with me at 8 am without coffee. It wasn’t pretty.

has anyone tried some new Colombian kawfee?

I had roasted some Colombia Narino Aponte Honey process coffee a few months. It was very good. I would’ve got more but the green supplier I bought from was sold out.

It was fruity, with mild acidity and chocolatey in the way it finished. It was a good light roast for pour over and as dark roast it was very good for blending with other beans for espresso.
