Based on another thread, I was asked to repost an interesting croudsource of information on the coffee we buy:

Make your replies fit the following format;

  • Location: at least your country, not the beans.
  • Retailer: Were did you buy your beans?online, brick and mortar. Be specific.
  • Beans: If a blend, name the brand and type. If single origin, give the detes, i.e. country of origin, region, farm, processing method, elevation
  • Roast: Light, medium, dark, french ...
  • Advertized tasting notes: e.g. stone fruit, sweet, balanced acidity.
  • Your tasting notes: Do you agree with the advertized cupping notes? Why?
  • Price per unit: e.g. $/lb or £/kg etc...

With any luck we might discover hidden gems, or discover a new favourite or maybe a bargain.

Yes. The bag is like holding a big baby. Depending on how much I drink, it lasts 3-6 months. Hence the green beans. I roast as needed and the best prices are usually for bigger orders. I keep a few bags of other things if I want to mix it up, but I'm pretty good at dialing my purchases to my tastes. I know what I do and don't like, so the big bags make sense for me personally.
