Fuck yeah, I'm already compiling a mix of French hipster/club music and hiphop for the party that has to occur. But I mean, we're talking 4 weeks, so it'll probably be outdated.
You may be good at:
being the youngest employee of murky coffee big bear
eating felafel
making toast
walking down the street
using my imagination
daydreaming
listing to all kinds of music
pretending to be a robot
making friends
pretending to be in imaginary bands
But can you KEEP IT REAL?
Bag 1(Ipanema 33%, Fatima 33%, Kuta Espresso 33%):
1st Pull: 16 seconds
-nice sweetness on the nose
-crema was ok looking, kind of light might have been the shot time
2nd pull: 30 seconds
-still sweet(chocolate and fruit) even at 30seconds
-little bit of spice on the aftertaste
3rd pull: 24 seconds
-really nice on the nose
-tastes alot like toscano
-a little sweeter/ different sweetness
-lingers more- nice sweet fruity after taste
4th pull: 21 seconds
-cherry and chocolate for sure
5th pull: 21 seconds
-Nick: "its gotta be the kuta"- "really nice"
-Aaron: "nice acidity"
-Final thoughts: A nice cherry sweetness with some chocolate notes. Color wasn't to die for and it didn't
have super great crema retention but it held up well at different shot times (very forgiving). Overall a really
nice espresso.
Bag 2(Ipanema 33%, Fatima 33%, Dolong 33%)
1st pull: 17 seconds-wayyyy to fast
-sweetness is sort of in there
-bbitter ashy finish
2nd pull: 23 seconds
-more savory
-aaron sayss "steak"
-I say tomato stem
-starts off nice but then quickly turns super dirty ashy soily etc and not in a good way
3rd pull: drop- 8 seconds, 28 seconds
-nice savory start, but ends ashy
4th pull: drop- 7 seconds, 25 seconds
-nice coloring
-not quite right on pallete
-sweetness and savory
-cucumber?
-better after taste but still not good
-best pull for this espresso
5th pull: drop-6 seconds, 23 seconds
-veggie savory on the nose
-bad finish again
-Final thoughts: A difficult spro- hard to dial in. Has a nice savory sweet thing but it quickly turns gross
probably not one you should use. Good color
Bag 3(Ipanema 33%, Fatima 33%, Floriza[India] 33%)
1st pull: drop 6 seconds. 24 seconds
-savory sweet
-intense on the pallette
2nd pull: drop 9 seconds, rul long
-nice bleu cheese taste-aaron says thats the salt and sweet combo
-fruity
3rd pull: ? woops
-savory sweet, in your face
-pepper steak
-color not as good as the 2nd spro
-Final thoughts: Really nice but maybe alittle too intense. Maybe try this one on a lighter roast (it was at 48).
Has a great combination of savory and sweet
