Brew Notes – Rossette Peach Fermented Natural Ratnagiri (Light Roasted Sample)

Coffee: 18.5 g
Water: 278 ml (1:15 ratio)
Temperature: 93°C
Grinder: Q Air – 67 clicks
Total pour (including bloom): 278 ml
Drawdown: Under 3:00

This cup turned out really enjoyable. The aroma immediately leans toward ripe apricot and peach. The first sip is distinctly peach forward…the flavor hits from the front of the tongue through the middle with a juicy, peach-infused character. From the middle to the finish, the peach gradually fades, leaving a light, pleasant body.

The cup is fruit-forward with virtually no bitterness. Acidity and sweetness feel well-balanced, making it smooth and easy to drink. Overall, it’s a clean, vibrant, and unmistakably peachy cup.

A very impressive sample I’ll likely pick up the full batch of this peach-fermented natural.

Been wanting to get all three together for a while, and they look great lined up on display.

For anyone collecting Mini GT Porsches, the Ao racings Rexy/Roxy car are definitely some of the most fun and unique releases in the lineup.

Got this Dosage coffee cup from Amazon for around ₹370. It’s ceramic, feels solid, and the build quality is surprisingly good for the price. Packaging was neat too.

I checked a few other sites and most of them were priced ₹500+, so this felt like a good value pick, especially since I needed it quickly that is today lol.

Overall, a decent budget-friendly cup if you’re looking for something simple and functional.

Rested: 25 days
Grind: Q Air 73 clicks
Dose: 18g
Brew ratio: 1:15 (270 ml total including bloom)

First cup from this sample and it turned out surprisingly vibrant.

On the dry aroma, the beans clearly show a syrupy strawberry note. However, in the cup, the strawberry character is much more subtle than expected.

Flavor profile:
The dominant note for me was bubblegum / candy-like sweetness throughout the sip, especially mid-palate. It almost felt like chewing a fruity bubblegum rather than drinking a typical fruit-forward coffee haha

I didn’t get a clear strawberry flavor in the cup itself, but the aroma from the grounds definitely hints at it.

Sensory scores (rough):
Bitterness: 2/5
Sourness: 2.5/5
Acidity: 3/5
Sweetness: 4/5
Body: 3/5

Overall impression:
Sweet, clean, and very candy-like. Not a straightforward strawberry cup, but more of a co-ferment “bubblegum” expression with light fruity acidity in the background.

Very enjoyable if you like modern processed coffees with a confectionery profile.

After resting the Rossette Rosselle Blend for around 3 weeks(25days from roasting), I finally opened it today and brewed my first cup.

Brew details:
• Q air grinder at 72 clicks
• Approx. 90–92°C water (1–1.5 minutes off boil)
• 1:15 ratio (poured around 250ml of water including bloom)

What surprised me most was how expressive the cup was. Right from the aroma, I got prominent white floral notes. After sipping I started picking up distinct berry-like sweetness as well.

The cup wasn’t bitter, and I wouldn’t describe it as particularly acidic either. It felt very balanced, with the florals and berries taking last stage. This is probably the most pronounced set of tasting notes I’ve experienced so far.

For comparison, the only coffee that came close for me was Araku Micro Climate, where I could clearly taste olive notes.

This blend was recommended by a fellow Redditor u/Amitoostoned and after this first brew, I can absolutely see why. If you’re looking to explore coffees that combine international and Indian coffees, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

Current rating: 9.5/10.

Looking forward to trying it again with a coarser grind, different pouring techniques, and as a iced brew.

The watch on the left is the Addiesdive AD2030 powered by a Seiko VH31 meca-quartz movement, while the one on the right is a Seiko GMT with the 4R34 automatic movement.

What’s interesting is that both have a smooth sweeping seconds hand so at a glance they look almost identical in motion. The VH31 ticks 4 times per second, giving it a mechanical-like sweep, while the 4R34 is a true gmt automatic movement.

Side by side, it’s surprisingly difficult to tell which one is quartz just by watching the seconds hand.

falling in love already😅

Hey everyone, brewed Blue Tokai Raxidi Lobo Estate after resting it for around 11–12 days from roast date. Wanted feedback on both tasting notes and grind adjustment.

**Recipe:**
16g coffee
240g water (1:15 ratio)
4 pours(1bloom) × 60ml

**Taste Notes / Review:**

Mild mosambi/citrus around the starting of the sip

**Questions:**
Do these tasting notes sound right for Raxidi Lobo Estate?

should I go a few clicks coarser? If yes, how many clicks on q air?

Is 3:00 drawdown okay for this recipe or should I aim faster/slower?

Got the Cult Tactical 35L bag from Myntra for around ₹950–999. MRP says around ₹2500 but on the Cult website it’s selling for around ₹1200.
Haven’t used it properly yet this is just my first impression before taking it on a trip in 1-2 days.

First impressions:

Pros:
1 - A lot more compartments and organizer sections than bags like Nike RPM which has comparatively fewer compartments despite costing ₹4–5K(Obv Nikes Quality will be better anyday)
2 - Dedicated sections for cables, toiletries, accessories, organizers, etc.
3 - Two side bottle pockets with zippers
4 - Outer loops/attachment(MOLLE Webbing) points are useful for hanging EDC pouches, flashlights, keychains, or other accessories
5- Seems useful for short trips, mini treks, and general travel
6 - Zipper quality feels okay okay for the price point
7- Storage and organization are honestly the biggest strong point here

Cons:
1 - Overall material quality feels average(inside and outside both), maybe around 7-7.5/10
2 - Mesh under the side bottle pockets doesn’t feel super durable
3 - If carrying heavy bottles regularly, that mesh might loosen/stretch over time

For ₹950–999 feature wise it feels like a great value buy but quality wise it seems more average than premium. will test it on a trip soon.

Anyone using this bag long term? How’s the durability?
