A month into the coffee journey and beans as follows:
Di Bella : Modena
Felici
Seven Seeds: Espresso Blend
Di Bella : Cuba
Mc Ivers : Ipanema Peaberry
Pretty much I like the modena and Cuba right now as it gives a dark brown bitter crema and it blends in well with milk.
Now Ive come to encounter these cute little peaberry which Ive never seen before.
First I had a 50/50 with Cuba + Peaberry, that is pretty nice, I think the Cuba had more influence with the taste than peaberry did.
Then just the peaberry alone, I choked the machine and wasted that basket
It is difficult to gauge using the same scoop as the peaberry is different in size with regular beans. Then the grind size is again not dialed in, but it tasted ok.
3rd attempt, grind size dialed in, proper overdosing and level (very much as close to what I did with the other beans)
The peaberry tasted similar to Seven Seeds Espresso Blend, almost doesnt taste like coffee, doesnt give like modena or cuba kind of dark brown bitter crema.
Is the taste generally affected by different roasting? Or the difference in beans itself affect more of it?
Honestly Im not too diggin with the peaberry.... :-/
