Today's Cup: Organic Peruvian Fair Trade

Today I am drinking the Peruvian I roasted up yesterday. I really like this coffee at this roast; I am thinking I might bring some in next week to let Mike try it. Or maybe I'll roast him up a cup with the same roast curve and let him make his own. (It is his coffee after all!)

Mike thinks that organic coffees have an unpleasant aftertaste, and I admit that sometimes I notice that. But I do not detect that in today's pot. Of course I am still in allergy season; maybe my taste buds are dulled by my allergies so I just don't notice. On the other hand, I definitely tasted a sourness in yesterday's coffee and I attribute that to the clumsy roast curve I was using. (It's Rich's curve, but it seems to only work for him. His coffee always tastes better than mine.)

Tomorrow I am brewing the 2nd half of last night's roast. So maybe later today I will try duplicating the roast to take into work on Tuesday for Mike. Then maybe I'll try some of the Kenyan for tomorrow's roast, so that on Monday I can have a Memorial day treat. I'll roast a cup of Kenyan and take the 2nd pot into work on Tuesday to share. That way on Monday I can skip roasting all together, which is good because I think the family and I are headed "down the shore"!
