Against my better judgement I grabbed a couple of small bags at duty free on the way home from Daresalaam (Tanzania), a few days ago. It was marked as Kibo AA, from Moshi near the border with Kenya, and actually had a roasted date on the back. It had been roasted dark, but no signs of oil. I had thoughts of stale, crap beans but after just trying an espresso it was great. Coming out of the grinder was a heavy beef or meaty aroma... Flavour was nutty with a long sweet aftertaste. Low acid, creamy mouthfeel with plenty of body. Kind of like jelly sitting in the cup.

Interesting, do you take a hand grinder everywhere you go?

Brett_H

Love the packaging!!

An Aeropress and ceramic hand grinder are always with me when travelling. But these beans I tried in the lever when I got home.

Started on the Etho Tchembe today after 7 days of resting, very very nice, smoth buttery mouth feel with silky choclates and a delicate fruit note. Nikessi still needs a few more days, but a definite jam thing starting to happen, again going to be a very smooth coffee with a lot of delicate flavours. Chester

How are you brewing this mate?

Hi Brett H Tchembe has only been espresso but the Nikessi I have a lighter roast for V60 as well as an espresso roast. Chester

None - ran out of the last roast I had, and been told I am not allowed to roast any more for the foreseeable future as the aroma makes my pregnant wife feel nauseous. 🙁 😢 :tearhair: :head: The only nice caffeine hit I am getting is at the markets on the weekend. The auto Saeco machine at work just doesn't cut the mustard with its Lavazza beans.

cosmic_couple22

Thats tragic, I see you only have 2 options. 1. Time to get a new wife Risky but it has been done before. 2. Send me your address and I will send you something nice to assist in managing your caffeine craving. Chester

Go roast at a mates place then? Or send her shopping! lol My wife hates the smell, it makes her sick too (not pregnant though) so I just roast outside with the glass doors closed, no problems there.

Coffee roasting isn't what I'd call a pleasant aroma .. and should be done in an outside ventilated room or garage imho Like a BBQ or cooking up a curry that can permeate through everything inside the house. No problem at my joint. I can cook up a curry and don't even bother using the extraction fan .. and haven't had any complaints. So long as my Cat is fed .. she is cool. 😛

I thought you NT folk were meant to be hard as. Obviously not :rofl: There is a wonderful thing called an extension lead that should put you and your roaster out of harms way no matter which way the wind is blowing. 😉

It's cold outside at night don't you know? It's been close to or below 20

cosmic_couple22

No to the coffee roaster and the Bezzera :o Get out while you still can man, head south, the cold normally stops an NTer from making it to far south so you won't be pursued to far. :thumb:

I think there are 4 options here 1. put helmet on and tell wife to harden up 2. drink tea like a nancy 3. wait for the wife's nausea to turn to cravings 4. get a shed as Brett suggests - and move out # 1 is the way I would go. Give her a spew bucket and tell her you are priming your body for the endless, mind numbing sleepless nights. :rofl:
