Passionfruit, peach, lime, mango
First day of ideal brew window, first cup. Ran a little short but could tell it was going to be good. Second shot did it slightly finer, and at 21g, pulled a 26s shot and it was beautiful.
I love these beans! It tastes kind of like pear to me and I definitely get an almond after-taste. Really delicious!

Orange, floral, milky tea

Holy moly this is a wild coffee. Definitely NOT an every day coffee. Banana cake, loads of tropical fruit. Could use more age to settle down. keen to try at 4 weeks of age.

Bellissimo!

Still a bit fresh and brewed slightly longer than ideal. Lots of perfumed florals, creamy body, sweet, elderflower, blueberries. Very complex and will only get better as it ages!

80% chocolate with a dash of milk, a warm hug.

plum, bergamot, mandarin, toffee black tea

Very sweet and juicy with great clarity on the finish. Turkish delight and blackberry with plum. Very little "process" flavour in the cup
One of my highlights of 2021. Tea like, and tasted like berries and stone fruit.
Sample Coffee Team
Sweet. Turkish delight. Touch of blackberry jam.
Sample Coffee Team
Raspberry jam. Turkish delight. Fruittastic
Finally got those plum and winegum flavours; took a few days though plus a nice accident of 2 grams extra coffee than my usual recipe!
Smooth body, crisp finish. Notes of chocolate and caramel.
Poached stone fruits including peach but also pears and to me, strudeled apples.
Chocolate raisins becoming a delicious dance of sparkling joy in the mouth as it cools. Recommended!
Mmm...lemonade bubbles. Love this!
Honey on the nose, nectarine and peaches...oh my! Delicious Sunday brew :) Drink hot but savour some to cool for full flavour experience.
Beautiful flavour. The best coffee I've had so far with the little Aeropress.
30g Pena Blanca, 335g water filter over 115g of ice for total of 450g. Served over ice was perfect in Brisbane's 39 degree heat today.
Great coffee. I actually tasted a hint of tomatoes, a little more like vegetables than fruity.
Sample Coffee Team
Peach, gentle acidity. Just a nice cup of coffee
Finally found the stone fruits! Enjoying it with a side of nectarines to enhance fruit flavours, creamy medium body with a subtle hint of tartness.
Superb orange sweetness, akin to freshly squeezed orange juice. Add some actual chocolate beforehand to round out the fuller bodied flavours (dark is good but milk chocolate works just as well!).
Grinding a touch finer brought out those chocolate flavours I was seeking. As it cooled, that bright orange flavour came through.
Lot's of acid coming through not a lot of the chocolate notes that were prominent in a v60. Might try grinding a little finer and reducing the shot time.
First 12hr Cold Brew as per the Sample guide...tastes like sticky date pudding with a hint of butterscotch sauce. Delicious!

Apricot. More apricots.
Very intersting

Found an un opened bag roasted on the 14/7. Yep 8 week old coffee and it tastes really nice. Like drinking a cup of plum juice
Earthy notes on the nose. Creamy berries with a slight tartness as it cools. Delicious!

First Kalita in months (I’m a bit rusty)
Absolute stunner. Really getting the orange notes. Loving this one.
Strawbery, raspberry, Mums stewed rhubarb with raisins and currants. Really juicy and bright.
24g coffee ground @ '18' setting on Baratza Encore - medium coarse I guess? used smaller (155) Kalita Wave dripper & Brewista kettle @ 94 degrees. as timer started, began to slowly add water up to 40-50g for bloom, then a gentle stir. after 0:30, began adding more water. by around 2:50, reached target of 390g. water level remained relatively high (near top of filter) throughout the brewing process. done by around 3:00. found it to be absolutely delicious, probably my favourite filter cup so far with the Brew Crew sub... now to try it as espresso!
Negatives first, slightly dry (too long of an extraction), really sweet current like taste. smooth finish.

Making a DIY flat white to avoid going outside in Sydney’s torrential rain.
Extremely fruity aromas. Slightly weak taste on this brew, hard to pick up that apple note. Definitely going to up the grind setting on next time to improve the extraction. Looking forward to perfecting this one!

Super fruity and delicious!
Definitely pickup that creamy mouth feel with a tad of orange. Wonderful acidity with a finish of slight caramel for me. A great taste that lingers long after the coffee is gone. Really enjoying this one.
Brewed 12 hours, filtered through V60, served over ice diluted with cold water to taste, roughly 1:1. Really good.

Sunday morning rituals, and digging through the mug collection (this one’s the Heath Studio Mug from the last trip to SF)

👌 crisp Sunday morning brew. Bit of orange flavour coming through as it cools down.
Sample Coffee Team
Flavours opened up a lot once it cooled down. Great rainy-day brew.
A rich yet balanced brew, tropical flavours and a lingering toffee-like sweetness. Delicious.

(Butter)scotchy-scotch-scotch. A little over-extracted this time, will try with a slightly more coarse grind next time.
This bean has opened my eyes to the variety in Columbian coffee. Reminiscent of some East African beans (Rwanda or Burundi) with its Stone Fruit flavours. I'm getting more nectarine flavours with a hint of plum.
Sample Coffee Team
Tasting pretty sweet, with a balanced body and a little acidity. Lots more apple flavour coming through at 15g.
Sample Coffee Team
Tasting sweet, like a crisp apple. Red apple skin bitterness, a bit of green grape freshness and acidity. At 90 seconds it's a little soft: with a longer brew time or slightly finer grind it'll extract a bit more body and acidity.
The brew really popped with some more acidic fruity notes when I dialled the grind a touch finer than I would typically for chemex.
Sample Coffee Team
Incredibly sweet, light body, apple cider, tropical, Raspberry, so delicious!!
Sample Coffee Team
There's a nice guava juice flavour once the brew cools down.
Clean chocolatey flavour with a hint of fruit.
Sample Coffee Team
Really well balanced, with a bit of apple and blackcurrant flavour coming through.
Sample Coffee Team
Definite black tea flavour brewed on Aeropress. Coffee meets Earl Grey.

Playing around with a new grinder. Not perfectly dialled in but a medium sweet body, notes of black tea and a clean finish
Sample Coffee Team
Smooth citrus flavours. Really refreshing on a 35˚ day.

velvet acidity, grapefruit and raspberry. Light toffee/panela as it cooled
Delicious
Delicious!!
Not as bright when it first came out, still with a lovely caramel/toffee finish.
Like a butterfly darting through a honey fermented forest. 75 grams of "Melbourne room temperature" water for 30 seconds, 200 grams of 95 degree water for 60 seconds.

Best roast of the Wote I've tasted to date. This coffee had a super delicate mandarin aroma which blew me away as soon as water touched it. The citrus was vibrant and the sugars were smooth. Lemon curd, orange blossom and just hint of dark chocolate on the finish made this 250g of pleasure.
Sweet. Juicy. Yum.
If these beans tasted any more like tea I would be worried it would attempt to colonise my apartment.
Very nice. I think I am getting the earl grey thing.
This Kenyan had both the body and acidity of a ripe, fleshy stone fruit. The finish lingered with notes of Rhubarb and light, malty caramels. The V60 gave some great clarity to all the fruitiness and the body held well (the Kalita would've probably been a little too heavy). I just happened to have another Kenyan on my counter when the delivery arrived and decided to cup them next to each other. On the cupping table the Mugaya started smooth and creamy but developed an intriguing juiciness I really want to explore. I have a feeling this coffee would be a stand out espresso.
The Kalita brought out that smooth Colombian body but this coffee had some great, juicy acidity. My immediate thought was tropical fruits. It was a much brighter acidity than the usual red apple i'm used to tasting in Central/South American coffees and I made sure everyone at work had a sip. Also let's not forget that butterscotch finish; Werther's Originals for days. I also tried a few CCDs but it rolled off that signature brightness and became a little one dimensional.
Big body when hot, jammy as it cooled. The first few sips screamed cocoa. As it began to cool the cocoa sweetened to dark chocolate and the acidity brought out jammy notes like cherries. It was basically a Cherry Ripe.
Super juicy. Quite sweet. Yum.
hints of Earl Grey with awesome floral notes.
Like the vanilla and peach jam I have in the fridge.
Salted caramel deliciousness!
Full bodied. Crispy bright acidity. As balanced as it gets. Tried the V60, loved it but thought the Kalita would compliment the size of the body. It so did. I used a sieve to remove the boulders and it really cleaned up the acidity (highly recommended move). I went a step further and used a chocolate shaker to take out the fines but the improvement wasn't as drastic as the removal of the bigger particals. Bloomed for 30 seconds. Finished pouring at 1:05.
30 seconds with 50g of cold water, then 90 seconds with 90 degree water. So juicy!
I like it. I'm terrible at saying what something tastes like, but it is very nice.

Tasting sweeter than yesterday's brew. Going to give it a couple more days and see how the flavour develops.
Candied Orange, baking spices. Hot cross bun kind of vibe
Sample Coffee Team
Tasting a bit of stewed fruit in this one, but my pour was pretty uneven. Next time I won't try to take photos at the same time as brewing :)
Smooth. Somewhat neutral... slightly sweet. Not bitter. Tasty.
Initial sweetness with a toffee after taste. Once it had cooled down - holy moly! Flavour-licious. I'll need to brew another batch and report in.
Delicious! Hints of salted caramel.
Sweet n juicy. Yum.
Delicate and sweet. Flowery. 30s bloom + 2min press. Grind was probably too fine.
Lovely coffee. Keen on these beans.
Dropped the temp and up-dosed, and copped a whole nose of red berries and delicious sweetness. Delicious in the cup
Delicious. Have done this one both hot and chilled with ice. 17g/200g, stir at 30 and 60, press at 90, 30 second press. NFI if I'm "doing it right" with aeropress ;)
This coffee is unbelievable. Here's how to nail it: 12g coffee, medium/coarse grind Inverted Aeropress method 40s bloom, 3:30 brew, 30 sec press
Smooth. Enjoyable. Didn't taste much richness, but subsequent brews have definitely headed in that direction.
Unmeasured, untimed, total BS'ing my way through it. Tasted awesome as always!
I was surprised at the amount of coke flavour that comes through in this. A very sweet coffee. Even with a slightly longer extraction time due to dialling in the grinder.
Sweet. Full bodied. Slight bitterness initially (I think I ground too fine?). As it cooled it seemed softer. Lovely from beginning to end.

Tasted great, not as fruity as Chelelectu, more chocolatey.
A little bitter aftertaste as i think the grind was a little too fine. Which i think is masking some of the subtle flavours that everyone refers to as it cools :(
A very light fruity coffee. Was great. I was using a cafflano for the first time and i think the extraction time was slowed a little by the fines in the grind so had a slightly bitter after taste. Going to attempt a courser grind next time.
Wow - what a half day or brewing technique change makes (or was it my palate / time of day?) Getting citrus and jasmine when the coffee is hot. (Brewed at 88ºC, tasted at 7:30am, unlike my Kalita Wave which was in the afternoon the day prior) - when cooling down the flavour intensifies.
Not a lot of flavour hot off the brew (might try the next brew at a higher temp - I brew at 88ºC mostly) - if I didn't know any better I'd say I was drinking tea ;) As per usual, when the coffee gets closer to room temperature is usually when my palate picks up what it likes. This time it was a richer (but yet still?) tea-like flavour. (Maybe I should start drinking tea?)

Light, refreshing and a little fruity. First brew in the Bruer for a while, drip rate was a little too fast, want to try closer to 3 hours next time.
Maybe a bit sweeter... floral. Just a touch of bitterness. A much cloudier brew than V60.
Soft, smooth. Not overly sweet. Maybe appley. No bitterness. Wanting more.
Earl grey tea, jasmine, grape
Not as good as it was tasting on the Hong Kong and Phuket trip (maybe travelling around the world makes it taste different) - but still good in the cup. The berry sweetness seems to have disappeared, but the acidity is still present enough to make it a crisp finish. Brew temp: 88ºC
Smooth and fruity
Juicy. Sweet. Initially slightly bitter - maybe I ground too finely. Lovely overall, but nicer as it cooled.
Lovely.
