Green bean sampler pack

In a perfect world.... where we all used 9gms/shot

Correction...9gms/shot?? Not in my perfect world!! ;-)

I didn't say all shots would be drinkable :P

The only guarantee is that it will be ...... cheaper than buying roasted beans

No worries chylld ;-) Understand where you're coming from! :-D

As a business owner/operator I need to know the cost of all inputs, including the extra detail BO'S
has added below ( and more!, things like the real cost of all our coffee making equipment, vehicles, fuel,
printing, stationery etc etc.... it's a long list!!. Currently my biggest selling blend
costs me $12.42 / kg to produce.........roasted, packed and ready to go 'ex roastery').

...and a little bit of power, and the economic depreciation on roasting equipment....but yeh, it's still great.

All the hidden costs come out of the woodwork once you lift the corner of the rug!!

In a perfect world.... where we all used 9gms/shot, had no wastage, no retention,
no need to purge grind paths, no dialling in and postage was free.

Wouldn't that be nice! ;-D

The only guarantee is that it will be significantly cheaper than buying roasted beans, and it's more relaxing to roast small quantities at your own pace. It's extremely liberating

I've had 2 yemen lattes so far, grinder is almost dialled in but already the taste is a world apart from the Peru and Brazil. So much more nuttiness on the nose and I'm already getting some fruitiness on the palate. Definitely a chaff monster (I thought the brazil PN was chaffy) but nothing the icoffee can't handle.

Final amount is still around 12 cents though:
2.5 kg green beans = ~2.08 kg roasted beans
$28.75 / bag = $13.80 for a kilo of roasted beans
9 grams per shot = 111 shots per kilo
$13.80 / 111 = 12 cents per shot

That should be 28.75/2.5kg.

Woops typo! Yep I meant $28.75 / bag = 2.5kg.

after roasting and grinding, about 230 shots of coffee.

With a <9 gm dose, ..........half that or less with 18 or 20 odd grams.

Some wastage, some dialling in, some sinked shots, ...........realistically < >80 shots (@ 30c each approx, for the Peru).

Amazing value coffee and if you double the purchase price .... (Yemeni and Maui coffees) and pay 60-80c shot........ awesome value. :-D

after roasting and grinding, about 230 shots of coffee. for peru @ $28.75/kg green, that makes it about 12 cents per shot

That should be 28.75/2.5kg.

Hi, how much roughly is a 2.5kg bag?

Sounds like you need to try one of the African or Central beans, chylld

If the current Tanzania Kyaurinde is similar to the last batch, it is both a) one of my favourite coffees and b) simple enough to roast. Of the centrals the Guatemala Jacaltenango is fantastic, and again roasts well without stuffing around.

The Tanz. K will give you a greater contrast to the beans you've already tried.

Massive agree with that Guatemala jac. I've only ever had it in a blend until today. Cracked a bag of SO I roasted 5 days ago this morning, and it's a gem of a coffee. Cut through milk like a knife and smooth as silk as a LB.... And I'm stoked I've got 2.15kg of green still to play with!

Interesting roast consistency (or lack thereof) with the Yemen.

Looks like a pretty decent roast to me. The number of pale / underdone beans in that picture is normal for a bean such as this, have a look at where they are grown........

Those few beans were prob not ripe enough when picked and or suffered some kind of nutrient deficiencies or were subject to frost ect, so they do not have the necessary components to undergo proper browning and caramelisation reactions.

[chylld]

I wanted to give it at least 24 hours to rest Every time I've sampled a fresh roast before that, it doesn't taste quite right... hard to describe, almost 'green'? Can a colour be used to describe a taste?

I only have one single shot per day so I'm sure I'll get to experience the different flavours over the coming week Cleared out my schedule for tomorrow morning!

[DesigningByCoffee]

Going to be very hard to refrain from trying it tomorrow morning

Why the long face!?!
Just get into it - beans develop a lot, and in fascinating ways, over their lifespan. I very seldom get past 7 days on mine, but had 2 bags of Yunan taking me up to almost 10 days today. Started off with super-fruits on day 2-3, into smooth caramel about day 5, then a slightly flat earthiness about 7 days, now into the cocoa at 10 days. Who'da thunk!

Enjoy those Yemen
