I did a bean thread last well and had an amazing time so I wanted to try to make it a consistent thing so here’s another one! I expanded it to new brewing methods or tips anyone has tried.
I’ve been doing Black Cat espresso (https://www.target.com/p/intelligentsia-direct-trade-black-cat-classic-espresso-roast-dark-roast-whole-bean-coffee-12oz/-/A-15354287) from intelligentsia and been pulling pretty good Moka pot shots with it.
Looks delicious, I’ve never heard of Flower Child before but I’m really interested in trying now.
Tiny local-to-me roaster, for more info Brian Quan has an interview with the guy. The coffees are light roasted, washed coffees, so generally in the same family as Sey.
There are a lot of cool small roasters in the area, like Hydrangea as well which is at the other end of the coffee spectrum in terms of focusing on funky experimental processes.
Many of them use a shared roasting facility called Coro which seems really neat.
