Australian Basalt Blue beans are from Coffees With Altitude, of Howe Farms on the Atherton Tablelands in far north Queensland
These beans may be small but need a bit of heat to get going. Take them to the first snaps of 2nd crack and you'll be rewarded with a soft yet rich coffee with a nutty finish decent as espresso, and capable of punching through milk in a latte or flat white if using a double as a base. A slightly lighter roast is better suited to other brew methods

Australian Basalt Blue
Hey gang, I was recently given 1kg of Australian Basalt Blue green beans from "yourperfectcoffee" - sounds legit. I couldn't find too much information about these beans and how best to roast them, with only 1kg I can't play around too much. Anyone got any tips? I'm using a corretto with a Victor DMM and Bosch digi HG.
The beans are quite small, I think smaller than the Ethiopian Geesha I bought from Andy. In the bag they aren't giving off much of interest beyond the normal green beans smell. I was thinking not too dark, just teetering on 2c. Thoughts?Tags: None
