Hi All,
Ive been purchasing my beans for local roasters for over 20 years but have reached a bit of an impasse and am looking for recommendations. So my situation is as follows:
After much experimentation with different blends from the same roasters, and from different roasters I now know that I only really am satisfied by a blend that delivers strong but still subtle and complex flavours (usually in the nutty direction; hazelnut, pistachio even marzipan). My wife and I only drink piccolo lattes or tallish macchiatos, so the blend has to have the power to cut through milk. The other constraining factor is my machine, an Olympia Cremina. While it delivers coffee as good as any, it only has 49mm baskets so effectively its doubles are equivalent to a large 58mm single. That means I can’t just up the dose to increase strength.
Anyway, this site will not let me enter the name of the blend that I like. When I do it simply replaces the name with the words boring blatent plug removed. So, I guess your recommendations will be limited to blends that are have passed this sites censors. So please recommend away, but be careful not make any boring blatant plugs
