Ran out of beans and my partner brought home Blue Bottle beans and I had very low expectations given the bag was from a big box store. Sacrilege.
But actually the cappuccino I made tasted pretty close to their taste in store so Iâm impressed at the consistency.
I like blue bottle, when they're on sale. I don't feel that their (black coffee / plain espresso) flavor warrants the non-sale price tag. BUT!! The fact that they exist adds another layer of options to our brethren, and I love that. I know several people who absolutely love blue bottle. Nothing wrong with that!
Nothing yet this weekend, only dissapointing aeropress presses(not too bad just tired of it).
I ordered a Flair pro 2 but it will not be delivered until Monday. Keep reloading the track and trace but still stuck somewhere in a warehouse frustratingly close by...
I just finished an aeropress. It wasn't disappointing, but not the best. It was preground sedamo I received for Christmas. Bummed that it was preground, but I do like sedamo. As for the Flair tracking, I would be doing the exact same thing you're doing with the constant refreshes. I would even be tempted to call the shipping company and ask if them if I can just pick it up at their warehouse. I hope it gets to you soon and that it's more than everything you ever hoped it would be!
This was brewed with a local roast near me called Reunion coffee roasters. The roast was Bullet Espresso, a medium-dark espresso roast. It was allright, nothing mind blowing.
Recently I discovered Burukudu, which is also a local roaster located within walking distance of my condo. I bought a bag of their 42 âPeteâs perfectâ espresso blend⌠itâs gassing off right now (just shy of a week old), but dang, the aroma is mind blowing!! Canât wait to crack open the bag next week and brew something yummy! According to the shop keeper, this guy Pete learned the recipe for this blend from his father. And itâs a family secret thatâs passed on from generation to generation.
