Some new coffees for you home roasters to consider
I've been buying green coffee from Klatch Coffee, and snagged a few lately that may be of interest. I've been on a major naturals binge for a while, with a heavy emphasis on Ethiopians (chasing the elusive blueberries), but I'm getting tired of picking out tons of quakers...and not really finding the blueberries.
So I grabbed 3 new coffees that I thought I'd review. El Salvador Orange Bourbon: Wonderful! Not a quaker in the roast. Clean, perfectly balanced, citrus and faint floral notes. Thumbs up! FTC Rwanda Cafe Feminino: Another winner. Clean prep, very few quakers, clean balanced cup with cocoa and fruit notes and a faint underlying spiciness. Thumbs up here too. El Salvador Finca San Francisco Natural Bourbon: The jury's still out on this one. I stopped the roast just at the first soft snaps of second crack, fished out a few quakers, and rested it overnight. Even though the color seemed a bit light and I definitely did NOT let second crack get rolling, the smoke flavors in the coffee were very pronounced. I'm going to have to try a lighter roast and longer rest next time. What else is good out there these days, home roasters?
