Finally dusted off my Cona and brewed some of the “secret” coffee (see previous post .) I had to share a picture and some more tasting notes.

So after the roast rested a couple of days, I brewed it in my Cona (pictured on the right, also lovingly known to many as my “coffee bong”). This coffee is simply incredible. It literally has no flaws, everything is perfectly balanced. A medium brightness lets you know it has strong Latin American roots. It has a very full body and an overall incredible flavor profile with an undeniable almond with some sort of fruity/berry type of notes (I obviously need to do so more cupping).

I was super specific measuring and brewing this batch, measuring down to the gram and obtaining a perfect 125ml/8.25g ratio. Doing so, compared to the standard cupping, I was able to detect significantly more subtle flavors that I had not even noticed last time. The aftertaste also increased from around 20 minutes to at least 40.

All in all, an incredible coffee brewed in an incredible brewer makes an incredible night.
