Hey Ozzy Bs,

Joel here from slowgrind coffee!
We're a young coffee company hoping introduce ourselves.

Please check out our "El Dorado", Colombian Single Origin specialty coffee.
It makes a killer espresso & is bold & rich through an aeropress!

We adore this coffee & we want to share it with the community.

Offering: 1kg El Dorado + Free Shipping for $40 (Was $50) - Coupon: OZBARG20

Tasting notes: Tangelo, Wine gum & Spice

The Pitch:
"A sensational coffee from the Huila region in Colombia. Local women harvest ripe cherries from farms sitting at ~5500 feet. This coffee is wet processed using traditional fermentation, washed with pure mountain water & sun dried on patios."

Please share your thoughts and feelings, on both the coffee and website experience.

Joel

  Wish you guys did one for 250grams. Don't want to risk buying 1kg of coffee that I might not like.

    Hey! Thanks for your message! I totally understand. This is our first deal here, we're just testing the waters. To be completely transparent, 250g bags are very difficult to discount due to 4x packaging, branding & shipping. If all goes well here, we'll try and come up with something that suits!

  250 grams would be great… Love Colombian coffee but 1kg without trying it first seems like a big investment.

  what's your recommended brew temp and recipe for this?

  also roast date on batch?

  • 

    Associatedslowgrind coffee @ Slow Grind Coffee on 11/08/2020 - 21:11

    Hellooo fellow coffee nerd!

    For Espresso:

    Temp: 93°- 94°
    Pressure: 9 bar
    Dose: 21g
    Yield: 36-38g
    Time: 25-27 sec

    For Aeropress / Filter:

    Ratio: 16 : 1
    Temp: 92°
    Time: 3 minute brew

    Re Roast batch: This bean is on constant rotation as we also use it to liven up some of our blends. We do our best to ship it out within the golden period of 2 weeks post roast. But, if you'd prefer to have it fresh out of the drum, we can accommodate. Just let me know in the comments of the order and we'll sort you out.

      cheers Joel, I ordered 1kg.

      $40 delivered for a Kg of speciality coffee is a good deal.

  no joke I love my coffee, but I've never ever understood the comparisons of tasting notes with things like wine gums and gummy berries.

    Totally, it sounds ridiculous. Tasting notes are just a means of classification. Fresh green specialty coffee beans have a vast spectrum of potencial flavours. We work hard to try and find a balance between bitterness, acidity, sweetness, body and savoury elements to bring out the best in the bean. We're not saying that it's "tangelo flavoured", but rather that is has a lively tangelo sweetness. If roasted too long, that "tangelo sweetness" may become a "dark chocolate bitterness" or "tobacco smokiness", which some people may prefer.

    We classify and rate our coffee by the process of "cupping". Have a google and find your local roaster to join in a cupping session!

      I've got that poster on the wall above my espresso machine. Which is why "gummy berry" et al makes me more angry because it's not there, haha

        Apologies for any rage we've caused you! :) haha

        Just to clarify, the tasting note is "Wine Gum", as opposed to "gummy berry".
        "Winey" sits in the bottom right as an "official tasting note". Our cupping team feels that this coffee has a sweeter winey characteristic rather than a "fermented" taste, hence the use of "wine gum" (https://www.wombania.com/wine-gum-flavor.htm).

        We feel that it's a creative way of expressing depth and sweetness :)

        Would love to hear your thoughts though. Give it a whirl ; )

  Thanks for the deal! Thinking of trying.
  I have a Baratza Encore.
  Just wanted to know what your recommended grind setting/size and brew time would be for:
  1. French press; and
  2. Aeropress. I see the comment above Re 3 minutes for brew time

    Associatedslowgrind coffee @ Slow Grind Coffee on 18/08/2020 - 21:49

    Hi there!
    Sorry for the delayed response!

    I have no hands on experience with Encore, but it's reputation precedes it.
    This roast is on the darker side so I would be erring on the coarser side of things when brewing through a filter.

    For the french press:
    We like ratios of 1:16.6

    So 21g : 350ml
    or 45g : 750ml

    Coarse French press grind
    Brew Time: 4 mins

    Re Aeropress. We like table salt grinds.
    Keen to hear your feed back
