Murphy's law I'm afraid - the beans always hit their peak just as the bag runs out! Sounds like a cracking roast though

One of the lessons of coffee roasting: knowing when the coffee is at its best (to your taste) and timing your roasts accordingly. I currently have two 450 batches resting in my cupboard. One was roasted on May 13 so it will be about 10 or 11 days old when I start drinking it. The second bag I roasted this morning.

I received my first ever BeanBay order this morning.

I prefer South American varietals to the African so was pleased when this bean exceeded expectations straight out of the bag at only a couple of days age. Nice lingering caramel notes and no harsh acidity. Perfect as a ristretto shot as well, although I prefer it as a normal double shot.

Well done Andy, I'm extremely happy with this bean. Please pass on my thanks to the crew for a great roast.

Peru Ceja de Selva coffee beans are one the best to me. I always have a few kgs these at home. Its fun to try other sorts as well, but these are my favourite ones.

They do have a BIG fan club, beautiful coffee time and time again.

Ditto....

Always a toss-up between these and any of the excellent Colombians for me, of South American beans...

I got lazy over the past 12 months and bought roasted beans. Some good, some not so good. But all $40+ from supposedly top roasters. Seven days ago I decided to dust off the coretto and roast up what's left of my PCDS stash. Today I cupped. Haven't tasted coffee this damn good in soooooo long. Always good to get back to basics.

Really enjoying this, seems to excel in milk based drinks, lovely smoothness to the flavour and a good length. It's making me look good!! Everyone is like, "Damn this is a nice cup of coffee how do you do it?" seems to partner Flat Whites perfectly. In expresso form it seems to get better as it cools, little bit more tannic bite and less astringency.
