I recently roasted a batch of Les’ “Triple Blend” (for those of you who don’t know, Les Albjerg is a solid gold contributor to the SweetMarias Homeroast coffee list, and master lathe craftsman), about 20 seconds into second crack. I’m now using a Turbo/Crazy roaster, a cheap but massively effective setup for roasting up to 1lb at at time. What made this blend different is that I added about 15% good quality robusta (again from Tom!). After about 4 days rest this stuff is SUPERB. I can’t say enough good about the Americano I had yesterday, and I’m very satisfied with the several espressos I’ve pulled with this excellent blend. The blend is a combination of three Brazils…here’s #1 , # 2 was the Cravo, and #2 was Carmo, all Brazils…Tom seems to be out of #2 and #3. Bummer.
Anyway, this was a wonderful blend…..time, however to order more coffee……ALWAYS from SweetMarias.
Some scary politics related to blogging…..
I’m currently involved in the Einstien@Home Distributed computing project….using my water-cooled homebuilt beheamoth.
And the newest audiobook for me?
Later folks!
