I missed a couple of terms: "blows away" & "wins hands down".
Next time, try to adapt your language to your audience! ;-)

For the last year I've been roasting Malabar Gold espresso blend in
my drum coffee roaster. It's widely recognized as probably the
single best premium green espresso blend on the planet.
Unfortunately Intelligensia recently came out with their new "Black
Cat" espresso blend which has, I must say, left Josuma's Malabar
Gold in the dust -- likely never to recover.

The sweet, mocha flavor is simply scintillating. As an admitted
coffee snob (roast my own, grind within seconds of a pull, 30
pounds of pressure, 720-degree polish tamp, never use beans more
than 7 days old, temperature surf for optimal boiler pressure,
exchanger and group temp -- yea! -- the perfect Ristretti)
Intelligensia has hit the mother load.

If you're even remotely into coffee or espresso, you owe it to
yourself to try some of Intelligensia Roaster's coffees.

If you think that dreck Charbucks or Peet's serves, or that vomit
Gevalia or "Green Mountain" puts into bags is coffee, don't bother
;-)

If you're interested in home roasting, you can get started making
QUALITY coffee for well under $2,500. A few hundred will suffice.

Yep, I got started through SM. To get into home roasting it's pretty cheap. Obviously that doesn't include an espresso machine and grinder, but if you use a Vac or press pot it's just as good.
Estuardo said:
BTW, I let my beans degas for a day after roasting. I don't get the
best flavor if I grind (using a burr grinder, of course)
immediately afterwards.

Same here. With MG you really need to wait 2-3 days minumum to get the best flavor. Also, the crema is too intense if you don't wait (for espresso).

Hi,

All that sounds like too much work. :)

It's sort of like my photography - only in reverse.

I'll shoot both film and digital, using both Nikon and Canon gear. I'll shoot digital raw and process my own film. I'll print my own photos and even fabricate my own frames from raw stock - both wood and metal.

Yes, I see that as being in the same league as your Coffee Works. My brewing Kimbo from a can in a Krups is sort of like using a DSLR and shooting Jpegs then having them printed at Costco or WalMart. Not nearly as good, but not nearly as much work, either.

I'm too worn out from processing photos to then go though all that for a cup of coffee. :)

I wonder, though, if you shoot Jpegs and farm out the printing because you're spending all that time processing Coffee! :)

...this particular sub-culture. i can sort of understand chocolate lovers -- until they insist one eat a pound a month to 'keep your taste buds in tune'. but coffee?

personally, use coffee for medicinal purposes only. once again G.I. i think you're out of my league...dav

The (Intelligensia) really seems to be in tune with the entire
