Coffee Appreciation

From what I know the idea of a Baron is to be used in bigger milky drinks, and was always darkest blend Climpsons offered. Beans did change every now and then, but then they always do, as crops and seasons change.

This is what I thought.

Also I don't think climpsons do the deterra espresso any more (which I found the darkest, and borderline harsh to drink) so maybe they've tweaked the blend. Either way its all gone pear shaped now you've left Pepe :D

I can remember preferring The Baron in the past. I do have it with milk, and it's just a bit meh for me just now.

I have some Maresca beans from Sicily just now also, and they are dark, but not bitter like the Baron is. They pour like treacle, and taste a bit like salted caramel.

I was pouring the Winter Blend as 18g and just a typical 30g odd brew for 25-30s odd. I drank it usually as a flat white.

Gave it a whirl this morning. Huge improvement and really really easy to get dialed in too. Some of the best looking espresso i've made in ages. I take it all back... Though I maintain its not as chocolate-y or nutty as the autumn and doesn't have the sweetness of red brick. Will grab some of the Rwandan today too.

36g a day seems reasonable to me.

+1 .. I always think we go through a lot of coffee but there are 2x of us drinking 2x per day.
