Blending with Monsooned Malabar.

[DesigningByCoffee]

Wow, into my blend of 200g Eth Ghimbi & 150g MM - what a funky, gronky bean!
In a flat white, my closest description is toasted marshmallows! Sweet, thick but kind of 'aerated' if that makes sense, almost chewy. Not overly strong at this stage (cracking the bag at 7 days post) but has lots of potential. Haven't had anything quite like them before! Lots of exp. with ghimbi, but these MM beans are a completely different animal in a blend :-)

The joy of roasting continues!

I knocked up the Bull Elephant Blend using the Sulawesi Toraja-Kalosi instead of the Sulawesi Blue. Have to give it a few days now and put it to the test.

I have to say that I am a little amazed at how even this roast appears because it certainly did not look too even prior to roasting.

I roasted these in the Behmor. 300 grams set at 1lb P5 B and popped the brush in the door at the first sound of 1st crack at set the clock to 3.30mins and left the door open during the cooling process.

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

I did not even look at that Bull Elephant Blend originally. :-(

I have all those beans except the Sulawesi Blue. I have some Sulawesi Toraja Kalosi, I wonder if there's too much difference??

I've made this with a number of substitutions. Pretty much any Indo bean works as well as any other.

I'll be able to respond with some degree of knowledge in a couple of days - I've only just roasted up a 60/40 Eth Ghimbi & MM on the weekend. Looked like those packs of milk & white chocolate peanuts in the cooler! Very different beans - so might be quite funky! My first attempt at MM - so we'll see how it goes :-)

Agreed, Amanda's blend is the only use I have for the MM, def not a fan of it as a SO.

I am after some (any) blends using any proportions of Monsooned Malabar.

Do we have any takers ???

Check out the prize winning Bull Elephant Blend earlier in this forum. It will give you a good place to start. The MM in the blend certainly adds something without being overpoweringly 'interesting' as I find it as a single origin.

I've used Amanda's base recipe without the robusta (I can't bring myself to buy 2.5kg of green robusta!) and it was very nice indeed - both as espresso and with milk. That reminds me, I must try it myself again soon ;-)
