Think am losing my taste buds or missing something.....i popped over to the Veneziano Caffe at the weekend - picked up a cheeky Peru Ristretto and a bag of Ethopian to GO, the other half had the normal skinny Cap Ethopian SO.
I took the beans home and thought I would have another taste..correct grind, 6 - 7 second start and nice crema - had a ristretto latte small glass. Starnge thing tasted nothing like the skinny cap, wasnt as Caramel tasting - I know the choc powder would of done something, but I didnt get any of that, just smooth coffee. I tried straight Ristretto, strong, sweet but not the taste I was searching for.
So is this a weather thing with beans and cold ?,or the preparation. Was using a Tea and Mazzer Grinder....found that similar on a few SO...getting my own roaster soon so gonna be confused galore....
