Don't mean to thread jack but thanks for the heads up Doug on the Konga! I am almost out of the last purchase of Konga and it has become my favorite coffee of the beans that I currently have. I believe that I'll just grab me a little to see how it is!
I've tried one roast so far, James. I'm going to recommend that you don't order a ton until you're sure it's "all that."

At a light Full City roast, I got a TON of quakers, which tells me the prep isn't as good as I remember from last year's batch. The fruit is pretty subdued in the brewed coffee. I'm going to go a bit darker with the next roast, and hope that does the trick.

FWIW, the blurb on the web site notes that this is a late harvest for an Ethiopian, and that's clearly true. "Late harvest" can be very good for wine, but I'm wondering if the the obverse is true for coffee.

Will report when I've done a second batch...
