Ive already been disappointed with it & my roasting of it a couple of times.

If I can ask before I have a go myself, what were the issues you were dissapointed with, and how did you roast them at the time?

Im slightly afraid too roast the australian coffee because of the cost lol. I dont want to stuff it up might look to the rosating section for tips on an ideal CS level.

Ive already been disappointed with it & my roasting of it a couple of times. Its on the back-burner for the moment along with my Kenyan while I get some quality Yemen roasts in for a while to boost the confidence again

Well I think you have set a new benchmark in speedy service Mr. Freeman. Ordered the last bag of Yemen (sorry) yesterday afternoon. It was out the Snobbery door by 4PM and in my hands in Sydney just after 8am this morning.

I heard the mailroom lady muttering something like, "who was that masked man?"

In future, I expect you to know what I will order and have it in front of me before I realise I wanted it. :-/ Hang on, I better reconsider that. :-X

I got the Red African Cocoa but wish i got the double dutch as well. Just made a hot chocolate for my dairy allergic son. Have tried with various types of milk substitutes and finally made him one with just cocoa, sugar and water. He LOVED it!!!!

Have just cracked open the bag of Yemen 3 days post roast. Love it love it love it.

should suck it and see

And the slightly more sober and less flippant response is

To my mind and tastebuds Chocolate and a hint of chilli just go well together. The African Cocoa is more spicy and zingy in its nature so a touch of chilli just helps accentuate this and in winter I like it for a change. Ground Nutmeg, Cardamon or a whole range of spices work too for some experimentation but I have settled on chilli as my prefered additive.

If I want a chocolate hit or have friends round I normally break out the double Dutch as it is just so smooth, never tried it with chilli BTW.

I believe I read some where it is like section D, trees #10 to #107, so you can go to the farm and see exactly which trees they are from.

Hi ,
What does MTC D10-107 mean?

Thanks
Chris

Thats a long wait for a first post.

I think it stands for Mountain Top Coffee and the D10-107 is a (micro) Lot number.

Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - 12th July 2010

The Double Dutch I like straight for a chocolate hit but the African I like with a touch of ground Chilli Shocked

Ive only had the Double Dutch (thats gonna last me forever) only use it on top of cappuccinos.
Are the two really that different?
Chilli eh? Im not adverse to chillis, what does it add?

Re: BeanBay GREEN sale - 12th July 2010

Depends on which Cocoa you got? The Double Dutch I like straight for a chocolate hit but the African I like with a touch of ground Chilli (no sugar for me).

If it is for the kids then add the Sugar and Cocoa with a touch of hot water stir then add the milk and steam the lot for a smooth Hot Choc. Sugar at 60-65 degrees doesnt dissolve well so adding it first with hot water and hitting it with steam seems to work better.
