Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?
Oooh, I was just looking at ordering more coffee. And the strength of the coffee (as in flavour not caffeine) is something I struggle to get right. Cafe coffee is always a lot stronger than what I make at home, even when I caefully measure proportions.
I might order a bag of this and give it a go!
Just some notes after a few days of Deadly Sin tasting. We found it really has a strong taste, but not burnt like some darker coffees. This makes it taste very strong yet smooth.
Mrs Floofah is not keen, too strong for her, so this morning I made a DIY blend 50% Deadly Sin and 50% Hummingbird Colombia. My blend was noticeably a less strong taste, but the blend has nicely perked up the Colombia.
TIL - roasting and blending coffee is a science.
Mine should arrive today! I ordered 500g which seems like a nice balance between bulk pricing and not having too much of a coffee I might not like.
I order 1kg of wine barrel aged coffee a while back, forgetting I don’t like wine. Took me ages to get through it 😆
It’ll be interesting to hear how it goes for you. The Deadly Sin on-line marketing etc really grabbed me, made me keen to try it, so I guess it did its job for them.
How did you prepare yours? I tried an espresso today when the beans arrived and the flavour wasn’t very strong. Definitely smooth, but not the strong flavour I was expecting in NZ’s strongest coffee!
