Does anyone have a lead on a Comandante grinder? They seem to be sold out everywhere. Thanks [emoji1365]

Here’s a crazy one. A Java varietal grown and processed in Colombia. Processing is carbonic maceration, a technique borrowed from wine production. Wild cuppajoe. My buddy just took over roasting for these guys and this is the first batch roasted by him I’ve tried from this roaster. So damn good!

I could possibly help you if you were in Germany?! Eventhough they're sold out at most retailers, there's quite a good chance to find "good as new" offerings on the second market.
Camandante's base is actually right around the corner here in the very south-east of Munich
From what I can hear, demand has skyrocketed since COVID
and the increased demand on "home barista" equipment.Their top priority is to keep up their high production/quality standard though, instead of just going faster. So I guess that's the number one reason for the shorting.
But as with Iron Heart, patience is really worth it -
Awesome shot if it's yours

My buddy heads up sourcing and roasting at Corvus in Denver and they are unusual in how many coffees they source. A lot of what they get are super small batch exotics. He gave me some Geisha beans from Savage out of Panama that underwent a fermentation process where the cherries were hermetically sealed and CO2 did the work. Then they dry for 20 days while being monitored and agitated. Magnificent fruity cup of coffee. But not sure I’d pay $300/kg for it. ???

@JDelage I used to use Paradise Roasters and got some great African coffees from them.

My friend Ibrahim used to run a small kiosk in the lobby of my office building in Atlanta. It is called Bilt Coffee (link below). When the pandemic shut the kiosk down, he started fulfilling ecommerce orders. I've since moved to Ohio, and now order 5 lbs from him every few weeks. He was born and raised in Ethiopia and imports the coffee directly from his family farm over there. My favorite is the Special Blend. It's got some incredible fruit and spice notes - reminds me of Christmas morning, but in a faraway, beautiful place.
IMO, the best thing about ordering from Bilt is supporting Ibrahim. He is one of the most positive, genuinely nice, upbeat people I've ever been around. He works tirelessly on his small business while attending university full time but always finds time to ask how I am doing and get updates on my life. One of those special people you don't want to lose track of.
