seriously enjoying this morning's pour over. 1 of my dealers dropped me a mail saying this next bag was top shelf, I laughed it off, but am a puddle on the floor right now, not even sure how this is typing. Really Really great body, huge variety of flavours, bit of chocolate on back palette, but lots of light fruits up front.
Tasting notes;
El Diviso
Very juicy filter coffee
Farmer Omar Collazos / Region Huila / Varietal Caturra / Altitude 1850 MASL / Process Washed
Grape, floral, chocolate, caramel sweetness, syrupy body, clean finish. -
My setup. Don't under estimate the value of a good quality ceramic cup/mug. Mine are from Stumptown and Four Barrel, makes a huge difference. I'm tempted to pick up a Real McCoy's but they don't appear to be made of good ceramic (the lip seems too thin).

You will need paper filters for the v60. The black rubber thing you see is a Able Kone, which I use instead of paper filters (It was about $20 by itself). I suggest starting with a v60 and some papers, and if you like it pick up an Able Kone.
The pot (range server) is also not required to start with, and was something I got a month or two later. Initially I just used a glass to pour into.
Thanks for the tip on the real mccoy cup, glad I wrote out my thoughts to be corrected; truly thankful. Will pick it up some point later.

demonito, inteli will most-def have beans roasted specifically for pourover/filter.
From past cuppings the Yirgacheffe will almost certainly be roasted for filter. (It's a consistently amazing region for filtered roasts). http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/product/coffee/yirgacheffe-ethiopia Intelli's Honduras also gets me going (http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/product/coffee/la-tortuga-honduras).

@Chuck, Coffee's even more serious than tea when it comes to such factors/investigations. The world aeropress championships took place down here the other week. Check out the different methods used by the top 3; http://worldaeropresschampionship.com/2013/05/26/2013-wac-recipes/. The same tool was used, but the method and variations are hugely different.
@d666, some say minimum of 6 cups a day reduces risk of heart disease, others say it increases other things. Studies can be found on both sides of the fence. Filtered coffee is 'better' for you than espresso due to the extraction method and particle size.
@demonito, nice
a great coffee video;

I'm interested! Any idea what shipping costs will be to the US?

Hi demonito, can do. Roasted for filter or espresso?
Will see how much interest we gather this week and will get a the bags sent out together (freshly roasted).
For those putting their name down, let me know if filter or espresso (it's fine either way, just want to get the right roast for you).
