Hi all,

I think it would be great to start a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly bean review and recommendation thread. Back in the days of the lockdowns, I found lots of great roasters on /r/Coffee and /r/Espresso, and I think it’s generally interesting to see what others are using.

So, tell us about coffees that you’ve had recently, where they’re grown and who they’re roasted by, how you’re preparing them, and anything else you’d like to share!

If you comment, please also let me know your thoughts on having this as a recurring discussion and how often you’d like to see it.

Cheers!

    I have some Tanzanian Peaberry from Volcania in the house right now that is quite unusual. I have to grind signifigantly coarser than any other coffee I’ve tried to get reasonable shot dynamics in the espresso machine. It’s also super vegetal in a “vegetable stock” kind of way that I wouldn’t want all the time but find very intriguing.

      I usually have them coarsely ground for my french press. I’ve had the Volcania ones and it felt like they were coated with something.
