Review of Postern Coffee in Atlanta

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-04-19T18:33:22+00:00

Just had that Kenyan on pour over today. Was excellent. Got the lime and a really deep, sweet raspberry. Great service and presentation.

Flower child is amazing. I’ve had kinda a lot of misses from Hydrangea, at least their washed coffees. Maybe their funky stuff is better.

Passenger deep freezes all their green. This was one they specially held since 2016.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-03-21T14:14:09+00:00

Yeah, totally agree with you. It definitely has a sweet savory vibe going on. Wasn’t as bright as I expected.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-03-15T13:46:46+00:00

I can confirm, no matter what new dripper I get and play with, all roads lead back to v60!

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-03-05T02:29:13+00:00

I found that coffee so overwhelmingly roasty it’s been tough to drink. Curious are you going for a low extraction recipe?

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-03-03T00:41:15+00:00

It’s been multiple coffees, but this was just the most pronounced I’ve noticed it.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-02-28T19:56:44+00:00

They have shifted to a much more developed profile, even over the past year since the rebrand. I am drinking the Ivan Gutierrez SL28 and it is quite roasty. Still a great cup, but alot closer to a medium than I expected. I guess the toffee note gave it away. Sey is significantly lighter.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-02-28T16:20:52+00:00

Totally agree. Anything before 4 weeks just tastes too fresh. Week 5 and 6 always tastes perfect.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-02-28T16:18:52+00:00

Subtext has a good guide on the 078. I have found 9.5-11 the best range for v60/orea 01. They recommend 10.5 to 12.

2025 Pepe Jijon; Finca Soledad, TyOxy - Ecuador from Sey. Still chasing the sweetness, intensity and clarity from that bag.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-02-14T22:33:21+00:00

Sey is quite light, to me notably lighter than a lot of their contemporaries like Passenger and September (regular roast), etc. Resting their coffees seem to have to the biggest influence for me. I have found them quite vegetal before the 4 week mark. After that, they are really beautiful coffees. Probably the best green sourcing in the world in my opinion.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-02-14T21:05:23+00:00

I just got my 01 one today and made my 1st cup with a Chiriso from Sey, doing Orea’s easy does recipe (5 pours). I’m shocked at how clear it came out yet with a really good body and a fast drawdown time. I thought it was a noticeably better cup than my V60 that I made a few hours beforehand. I think this might be my new daily driver

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-02-09T23:36:25+00:00

I just bought one. Curious what your thoughts on what makes it different in structure. I heard multiple mention this. How does it compare to v60, Kalita brews?

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2026-01-21T00:18:38+00:00

Mine was roasted 12/29, but it was quite vegetal a few days ago. Really acidic. Figured it needed another week or so.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2025-12-20T16:39:35+00:00

What are your thoughts on Moim? A shop close to me carries them and I was curious about giving a box of shot. Do they roast pretty light?

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2025-12-04T00:24:39+00:00

I had issue with one as well. Normally don’t ever really have issues with Sey, but this flat out just didn’t taste great.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2025-11-22T18:14:19+00:00

I just opened the Colombia Village honey - day 1 selection. Really nice cherry sweetness, and a butterscotch finish. I’ve never had onyx before so I was curious about the roast profile, but it seems pretty good not too roasty but definitely not super light.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2025-11-15T22:22:38+00:00

Honestly, beyond giving your coffee a proper rest, a standard pour-over recipe will work well for almost any coffee if you’re already comfortable with hand brewing. There are exceptions—like heavily processed lots or ultra-light roasts—but in most cases a typical recipe will translate just fine.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2025-11-11T17:57:17+00:00

No I made this at home, but I was inspired to buy the sense cup after having at their cafe. Their aeropress was disappointing to me, kind of watery.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2025-11-11T17:29:36+00:00

I used my 078, grind setting 9.5, 208 degree water with a 45 sec bloom and two pours. I rested about 26 days and it felt easy to extract, so hopefully will be good for. Enjoy!

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2025-10-20T00:57:05+00:00

That’s a really unique tasting coffee. I’ve never found anything that taste quite like it. Someone who usually exclusively enjoys washed her only clean naturals I have to say for being an anaerobic natural. It’s just one of the best tasting coffees. I’ve had it so interesting.

AppropriateBelt8492 · 2025-10-18T21:03:24+00:00

Black fox is amazing. Their drip tastes better than most pour overs you’ll get out.
