70:30 Blend of Arabica and Robusta

Stockholm Roasters Co. Bordeaux & Roastery Coffee House Harley Estate Robusta

Brewer: 1 Cup Moka Pot

Dose: 11gms Espresso fine grind

Brew Water: 45gms Hot water

Yield: 30gms

Final Drink: Americano 1:3 Ratio

I had ordered 3 boxes of their Americano Drop Coffee concentrate, along with around 500g of ground coffee beans.

When I tried their Americano concentrate, it was a bit too sour, like how coffee tastes when it's under extracted. I gave them the same review on the app, not expecting anything, but hoping they would resolve the issue in the future.

They immediately reached out to me, and asked me for the batch number etc so they could check with their internal team. As an interim measure, they told me they would ship 2 replacement boxes of the Americano Drop Coffee.

Frankly, I didn't want it, as I was quite put off by the first box. Therefore, I mailed them requesting them to ship 1 box of Sea Salt Mocha and 1 box of Signature instead, and that I would return the 2 unused boxes of Americano, and pay the difference, if any.

This is what they responded with:

Crema loaded

18.5 gms in
42 gms out

100% Robusta
Harley Kaapi Royale from Naivo
4 setting on Rift 64
Gaggia E24

Brewed with my Depressurized Nanopresso & Barista Kit 16gms Basket:

Dose: 14gms Medium Roast 80:20

Grind: 10 Clicks on Timemore C2S

Boiling pre-heat & brew water

Pumping speed: 1 Pump/sec.

Yield: 39gms

Using a dosing funnel and WDT really helps to get a good shot.

Preparing for our next batch.

To make this I first made my own caramel syrup using Jaggery and Sugar. I boiled water and added a tiny amount of salt to it and added the coffee powder (not instant). I added the syrup to the coffee. Then to that mixture I added just the yolk (yellow part) of an egg and mixed it. Since the water had just been boiled it cooked the egg yolk thoroughly. I had seen this in a video by Zack D Films and I wanted to try it out for myself. Then I mixed everything together using a frother and finally added milk resulting in this foamy and delicious coffee!

Looking for an espresso scale within 2k range, size should be within 5x5 inches. Any suggestions?

Thought I would share some of the coffees I have worked my way through over the last few months.

Most of these were brewed as pourovers, with a few cups made in the Moka Pot too, so I have spent a fair bit of time with each of them.

It has been a fun journey trying different origins, roasts, and flavour profiles. Some instantly became favourites, some really surprised me.

If you have tried any of these or have questions about them, feel free to ask. Always happy to talk coffee.

Edit: A few people asked for quick reviews, so here they are. Most of these were brewed as iced pourovers unless mentioned otherwise, so these ratings are based on that.

Strawberry in Loop (Grey Soul): really nice fruity cup, strong peachy aroma when wet. Easy 8/10.

Ratnagiri Estate Mogra (Reserved): very floral, very mogra. I liked it but definitely not my everyday brew. If you enjoy light floral coffees, this is a must try. 9/10.

Black Grapes (Boojee): slightly darker than what I usually like for pourover, but makes a really good hot cup. Sweet aroma. 8/10.

Say Hello to Mellow (Maverick & Farmer): one of my favourite light roasts lately. Light, clean, not overly floral or fruity. Easy recommendation. 9/10.

The Rebel (KUP): a bit darker than I prefer for pourovers. Worked much better in moka pot and with milk. 7/10.

Dark Honey (Nerlu’s): hidden gem. Amazing aroma, very balanced, and made a great iced pourover. 9/10.

Amaltas Blend (Blue Tokai): honestly better than I expected. Nicely balanced with a bit of brightness. 8.5/10.

Highland Blues (Black Poetry): decent everyday coffee, especially for the price. I liked it more in moka pot than pourover. 7/10.

Mysore Nuggets (Dope): not for me. Too dark and the roast felt inconsistent. 5/10.

Micro Climate (Araku): really solid everyday coffee. Nothing crazy, just reliably good. 8/10.

All of this is based on my personal taste and brew style, so take it with the usual coffee disclaimer 😄

A friend gifted me this packet. Does anyone know what to expect from this? I'm yet to open it. But it smells heavenly.

I have ordered Nescafe gold coffee from Amazon after seeing raving reviews about it. I was previously drinking davidoff espresso 57, was bored of it and wanted to try something different. Hence ordered Nescafé gold.

All the pics and reviews in Amazon has English text on the bottle, mine has some other language. I only made cold coffee with it till now, and it doesn’t give me that coffee taste that much. Did I receive fake product by any chance?

Please help

I recently got a dedica ec890 . Using it with my timemore c2s with pressurised basket.

I want to upgrade to bottomless portafilter and i know i will need a good grinder for that. Came across timemore esp and kingrinder k6 . But i am really skeptical.

My budget is ~10-12k .

Thanks in advance for your comment.
