Freeman's need a bigger gong cupboard.

Huge congratulations to the Freeman kids, Sarah, Zed and Tiana.... they've done it again at the Golden Bean!!

5 bronze between them across the two categories and Zed took the gold in the Home Roaster Espresso class.

Andy and Paula must be mighty proud of their achievements and highly amused at the running scoresheet!

Well done to the whole family.

Huge congrats to Mark, 2 years in a row is an amazing effort out of more than 1200 coffees.

[Andy CoffeeSnobs Owner Find all posts View Profile Close Andy]

Huge congratulations to the Freeman kids, Sarah, Zed and Tiana.... they've done it again at the Golden Bean!!

5 bronze between them across the two categories and Zed took the gold in the Home Roaster Espresso class.

Andy and Paula must be mighty proud of their achievements and highly amused at the running scoresheet!

Well done to the whole family.

Proud and amused pretty much covers it. The kids had the Monday and Tuesday off school for Melbourne Cup and because the Snobbery doesn't get public holidays they came to work with Paula and I.

3 x Behmor roasters setup in the front room and the kids spent all day doing roasts and mixing blends... and as near as I could see had chaff fights too. When they finished (cleaning up their mess) they blended and bagged them up and we Express Posted them into the comp.

What they used...

Sarah -
Espresso - Kenya AAA bold & Sulawesi Blue (Bronze)
Milk - Kenya AAA Bold (Bronze)

Zed -
Espresso - PNG Mt Ambra (Gold)
Milk - PNG Mt Ambra & Sulawesi Blue (Bronze)

Tiana -
Espresso - Mexico El Malinal Typica & Sulawesi Blue (Bronze)
Milk - Colombian Volcan Galeras & Yirgacheffe Special Prep (Bronze)

These are all beans in BeanBay that CS'rs have been using and loving, except for the Kenyan which is being bagged this week and will in BeanBay soon.

I'm not sure of the profiles that they used as I was out doing deliveries most of the day but they all dropped the power to 25% (manual P2 on the Behmor) when they heard first crack and pressed "C" for the rosetta reset at the same time... and made a judgement call on when hit cool.
