sounds like they're roasting them as you order them, so, that's not bad.. I have liked all the mexican coffees that I've had, and the brazilian ones too.

Norman does indeed roast when he receives the order. You can count on him doing a great job, and you can ask him to go lighter or darker as you prefer. If I weren't roasting my own, I'd probably be getting ALL of my coffee from him.

No feedback on the particular coffees, except that the Negrita is an excellent blend.

I like the Java Sunda Pitaloka (10# green from SM). At least what I do at home, pretty solid bean like Timor when you get either into the FC, FC+ range, otherwise they are a tad too green and grassy for my taster.

Me, I'd pass on the JBM. I've have played with it, but it is finicky and not worth the asking price IMHO. Doesn't produce my cup of Joe anyway. I don't like light and bright, I want dark and brooding.

That said, you might. This is a lot like cigars, drink what you like and like what you drink.

Haven't played with any of those other offerings.

Best,
J.

It sounds like we might like a similar cup. I view 'bright' coffees as sour a lot of times.

I don't actually know your acronyms, sorry. Would you talk to me like a fifth grader and suggest to me, from the sale, a couple dark coffees? I need already roasted, not green. I would truly appreciate it. I am a complete newb to beans, but I'm trying!

Alright my friends. My two 12 oz packages are almost gone, so I'm ready to order some more. Doug, I really enjoyed the negrita, thanks so much for the suggestion.

Any other blends I should try?

Also, in the sealed packages, will they stay fresh if it is a couple weeks before I get to them? I hate ordering only 24oz or so, would like to order a bit more at a time.

If you have sealed packages of roasted coffee, freezing them will help keep them lively longer. Don't put the beans back in the freezer after you've opened the packages - glass jar with tight seal, out of sunlight.

IMO, 2 weeks would be pushing it. However, I don't generally go longer than 2 days, so take that with a grain of salt.

I don't have any experience with Norman's other blends, but my guess is that you couldn't go wrong with any of them.

Thanks for the input Doug. How much do you drink daily? I know you roast your own, so quantity is less important, but just for reference.
