Ordered new coffee beans from Cafe Enrroca. I ordered the Marcala Organic and the Marcala Organic Bourbon and they sent me a free sample which is nice. I made a cup of the Marcala Organic Bourbon this morning with a slightly altered Aeropress recipe: 15 g of finely ground coffee (8/10) 85°C water Invert Aeropress 30 second bloom with 50g of water Add 180g of water, and stir After one minute, press until the foam just hits the grounds This gave me a very smooth and full bodied coffee.

Normally I’d buy my coffee beans from Merchants of Green Coffee (I just realized they don’t even have a website) but unfortunately they are inaccessible to me right now. Thanks, Covid. So out of necessity I grabbed a bag of Avida Colombian Beans from Costco. Made a cup yesterday with my Aeropress using the inverted method. 12 g of coffee, 93° C water, steeped for ~60 seconds. The aroma is nice.

Pulling a nice shot of espresso, just had to take a photo of it.
