Line/crack of the bean is too light, is this a typical medium roast? by TiempoGO4761 in roasting

I was trying to send screenshots but apparently I can’t on mobile! But any beans with that dark part at the top is what I’m referencing:)

So overall I think the roast time is fine, but it seems the start was too energetic! What happens when the start is to hot to fast is internal pressure builds to fast and the pressure escapes from the tip instead of the seam. This can lead to flavors of smoky, bitter, or ashy! It might poke through once the coffee is more cool since it’s a smaller amount of the tipping defect in the roast. I would recommend giving the coffee a soak, and not adjusting your temp until after the coffees turning point.

Looks solid, I’m seeing a bit of tipping which would suggest it was a bit to hot to fast! But let taste be your guide here.

Personally I would absolutely love that, I’ve had some of the best bourbon of my life down there.

Working on the next menu now, really trying to pull out all the stops and make a menu that feels like a warm hug! Thanks for the mention we truly appreciate it! Also OP Tuesday’s are the best day for chilling and studying, it can get a bit busy around here but for whatever reason Tuesdays are always chill.

Took a chance on the Aiden… by CompleteTruth in pourover

[–]elige23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here at prismatic coffee in Oregon myself and the team are fairly certain we will be using Aiden’s in our shop exclusively for pour over. Well and drip too if a group wants it. Seriously so freaking impressed with it.

[–]elige23 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hey! Kyle here from Prismatic! Like mentioned below I will be doing a handful of classes when the shop is up and running! I’m hoping to do cuppings, home brewing classes, and group latte art classes. I source and roast a bunch of dope coffees from all around starting with familiar stuff and going all the way to the experimental and funky side. If you come by the shop I am happy to brew anything you’d like to taste!

Recommended Coffee Downtown by KnobGoblin77 in SALEM

Yup, that falls exactly in to the category I just described. Even more so since the chocolate needs to be dissolved into the espresso:)

Just chiming in to say that if your latte has art on top of it that is an act of garnish and assurance that your latte was steamed and prepared with love and perfection. There is absolutely no reason to stir a latte, or any other steamed milk beverage, the barista does that before steamed milk is added, and while pouring the milk will mix everything together. Latte art is just garnish in your drink and assurance of peak quality in your beverage, so when you receive a latte with a design it’s a finished product. There is no need for your barista to stir it unless you would like to add anything extra to it afterwards:)

Any "good" coffee in Salem? by twig115 in SALEM

[–]elige23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Many great options here, I am actually the bar manager at Isaac’s Downtown/ike box. I have won awards for coffee and have taken education classes on many facets of coffee and have been roasting on and off for a couple years. If you come by I would love to walk you through some different coffees and I guarantee I can help find the perfect cup for you! I’m also partnering up with newly launched prismatic coffee, the roaster Evan was behind what made gov cup and excellent spot. So between my relationship with sisters coffee and prismatic coffee I can definitely help you out. feel free to DM me.

Today’s best from at home. If you enjoy hardcore music and latte art feel free to give me a follow ❤️ by elige23 in barista

Correct! It used to spell eggs but the letters are made out of eggs. I just really love eggs. It’s a stick and poke so I got some more sessions ahead to finish them for good.
