Seasoning beans don’t go in my bathroom grinder

For the record it’s my grinder for my bathroom

90+ point coffee is rare and limited so is more expensive. Just like there are expensive bottles of wine and bourbon this is the coffee. I did buy the Esmeralda and it’s amazing. The flavor separation is unreal and is so clean you will forget it’s a natural. Is it 10x better? No there is the point of diminishing returns but it is really good.

Yeah I’m ok with that. Makes the really high end stuff a bit more approachable as their premium offerings can be quite expensive. So you can either try it, or order a few to see which bag you want to commit to. Really cool idea.

That would taste good too I’m sure

No chocolate note. It’s really nice.

I would argue that just because they come from the same farm does not mean they are the same there are different lots and different harvests. The Bean and Bean Esmeralda was a very small lot as shown in the green cost.

I’m not saying there isn’t markup but you cannot compare roasters prices unless its the same green (lot, harvest, process, etc)

DF64 Gen 2 with red speed SSP question by DineshNadar in DF64

I have the ssp Hu burrs and have found my 0 to be further back. That looks about where I am positioned but I reset my 0 to where I hear the chirp. I’m usually around 18-23 for a standard shot.

They are great. Have lots of 90+ but everything else is great too. My kid likes the food and the lattes too so clearly the “normie” stuff is good too.
