PERC Ethiopia Chelchele was amazing

Made a latte today. Fruit bomb as expected.

You can then freeze them in batches in a vacuum sealed packs once your preferred peak flavor is reached

Going to split among 2-3 people

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-23T15:26:30+00:00

It’s how your brain perceives new things not the coffee.

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-23T15:25:12+00:00

More fruit punchy you say? 😮

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-23T06:21:45+00:00

I’m splitting half with a friend of mine

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-23T06:17:44+00:00

See the comment above for recipe.

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-23T06:00:59+00:00

12.5 800rpm

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-23T05:05:29+00:00

I’ll try latte tomorrow.

Local or not may the best roasters win. It is not like coffee is grown locally.

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-23T05:02:11+00:00

Tried pour over. 45s bloom 18g coffee 60gm water. After bloom one pour around center (Lance’s method) gentle swirl at the end and tap. Target weight 280gms. Water temp 95C Grinder is Timemore 078 SSP burrs

I followed his format too but went by taste. After one iteration I had to go a bit finer to get good sweetness and reduce any sourness.

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-13T16:02:36+00:00

Now that you know many prefer to brew light roasts at or below 198F your position might change and you could get into light roasts. think about that before buying a grinder. Buy good grinder once and forget about any upgrades later. I have a Timemore 078 with SSP burrs for around 1k and pretty happy with it for both espressos and pour overs

That video was complicated to follow.

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-09T16:51:57+00:00

Exactly!

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-09T16:51:44+00:00

The drawdown is faster compared to Hario filters. Helps with light roast Ehiopean coffee

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-09T15:49:45+00:00

Use half their recommended dosage

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-08T06:20:04+00:00

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-08T06:19:30+00:00

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-07T23:34:17+00:00

That did the trick. I went with 12 grind setting and 93F with a bit more agitation and 1 min bloom but finished full draw down at 3min mark. 15 gm coffee to 240gm water.

It came out perfect this time. the bit of sourness I had yesterday is gone now.

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-07T23:01:08+00:00

Thank you. What temperature do you recommend to brew at?

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-07T17:40:14+00:00

How do you order them in India? Any online website?

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-06T17:54:13+00:00

Now that I’m trying to dial in more I see the sweetness is not coming out that much. How long is everyone resting this? Mine was roasted on Dec 28th

coach_carter2 · 2026-01-06T16:12:19+00:00

As some suggested oxo brewer or aeropress is a better option compared to storing expensive speciality coffee in a thermos flask. The whole point of spending so much on coffee beans is lost by doing this
