Coffee

Could that be the body it's talking about as starchy more so than taste profile?

Thanks for the feedback on the KW PI.

I agree that the Chemex filters strip a lot of the goodness. The Kone, I find once the grind is dialed in to have a great profile and very little sediment. Particle size is far larger than for paper-based filters.

I do really enjoy the Chemex profile on weekend. That lightness makes me feel lighter, which on a weekend, is exactly what I want. The bodys and oils on a weekend, man they need to hit my cup, not a filter.

Thanks for the KW facts. I keep hearing it, but never in comparison to anything else. Will pick one up next time I see one.

That's my theory guys. It has a nice body, even if I'm not sure what they mean. Looking forward to trying Aeropress to see how she thickens up.

When it comes to body, its either described as silky, or syrupy . When they say starchy, i think they're trying to describe the taste of bread, which I sometimes pick up on. Same thing when roasters describe coffee as "oaky, woody, dark molasses , smokey" thats the roast profile, usually because the coffee didn't taste very good roasted lighter.

For me starchy would first connote rice,  potatoes, or pasta. I think of bread as yeasty.

yeah , either way, its not a taste found in good coffee. I don't think I'd list that if I was in charge of that roastery…

Stopped by Sump last week for the first time in a couple months. Stellar as usual, and I love the new wallpaper…

Back again…

First time trying a Cuban coffee. Sweet, but good.

The crema on that is a pretty big red flag for me without understanding what's the dealio with Cuban coffee….

Confusing as posted, Versailles as a registered trademark for a Cuban restaurant, as apposed to something French. wowser

Beans look like a strong robusta / very gassy.

What's the brewing method/info on Cuban???

[mclaincausey]

Pre-revolutionary, I presume.

The coffee farmed in Kauai doesn't impress. Oh well, can't be perfect right?

[biker226]

i cannot start a day without coffe ::)

[biker226]

is there a way to find out are you a coffee addict?

[501IH]

Very simply, I should think: try to go without and see how it goes…

I took an unintended near 3 week detox as part of my food poisoning episode. Had killer headaches nearly the entire time caused by coffee detox. Am only back up to 2 cups a day so far. Man I've missed it in my routine and feel useless without it. Detox is not what it's cracked up to be.
