Speaking of being back .. any memorable coffee experiences while you were away, Brett? Coffee Mio - Costa Rica - single origin Dose - 17.2g Tamp - Light++ 2 x double fellini Pour - 35 secs for 25ml Rating - 8.7/10 The double fellinis probably account for about 8 secs of pour time - so the actual pour was about 28 secs Without comparing this rating to those previously, I reckon an 8.7/10 is about right for these beans .. and therefore put this one in the 'B' category. Other than having its own unique flavour .. which is ok according to my taste buds, only it didn't have any characteristics that impress me. The method of extraction, which was the same as for Georges Premium .. seems pretty close to the mark .. unless of course, the beans were over 4 weeks from roasting date .. which, at a guess, is most likely. Perhaps fresher beans may have boosted the rating up a couple of decimal points .. only I doubt these babies would have scored a 9/10 or above - which would put them in the 'A' category. The last lattes of the Georges Premium didn't rate as highly as the 9.3/10 in my last post. That euphoria was short lived .. but it was certainly a blast while it lasted. 8) It certainly is a rollercoaster ride as far as what you end up with in the cup .. so the idea is to savour the times when you manage to crack it for a real beauty. :thumb: not that you can't enjoy the rest of 'em. :angel:
