Great! Sorry I couldn't make it over there this afternoon. Guess I'm stopping by Sur la Table this weekend...<br />
<br />
The only question I would have is how did that cup compare to one made with the "cupping' process?<br />
<br />
That Guat perhaps could benefit from some brew temp tweaking in the press... I've seen the same things with it. We're getting some next week and I'll play with it a bit when we do.<br />
<br />
Thanks for sharing.

Brady, we did this exact experiment this morning with our Roastmaster Chad, Jay and Emily. We used our Guat, which is really good right now. We used a siphon, french press, and our newest gadget, the AeroPress. The siphon produced a cup that was very well balanced, almost a little too balanced. It didn't have alot of that sweetness the Guat usually has, but was smooth. The french press gave us a cup that had alot of the brightness I usually expect, alot of the sweetness, but was almost too…
Brady, we did this exact experiment this morning with our Roastmaster Chad, Jay and Emily. We used our Guat, which is really good right now.

It didn't have alot of that sweetness the Guat usually has, but was smooth. The french press gave us a cup that had alot of the brightness I usually expect, alot of the sweetness, but was almost too perky. The acidity was overpowering, and led to the twang that you couldn't really enjoy the good flavors of it.<br />
What we were looking for was the balance of the siphon, and the brightness and clarity of the french press. That's exactly what we got out of the AeroPress. Surprisingly, Chad said it was the best cup of coffee he has had all year. Everyone agreed how much better it really was. It had the balance, body, and all around flavor profile that really made the Guat shine. Quite simply one of the best ways I have ever had coffee. Easily. And as much as we were surprised by the quality of the coffee, actually I would consider an Americano, the thing that most surprised me was it's use for espresso. I was very skeptical when I read that it could be used to make a good latte. But, that's exactly what it did. Very little crema, obviously, but a latte that's better than what you might find at most shops they said. Not better than our own shops, or some of the other shops I visit from time to time like Octane in Atlanta, but a decent latte. Interesting.
