Rwanda Nyamasheke Kamina Washed - this coffee is a truly exceptional washed coffee from Rwanda, tastes like key lime pie and jasmine and clean simple sugar. I roasted it to a true light roast, and pulled a 25g shot over 97 seconds with 18g in.
Absolutely exceptional. Wow.

Wow! That looks and sounds freaking awesome. Unique for certain. Is that something commercially available or is it a tgapp special roast?

Couple months back, I finally got around to getting a single wall basket for my little Bambino Plus, along with a really nice dosing funnel. Both of those things have been very nice improvements. The baskets made it much easier to dial in my grounds and such, and the funnels helped me actually keep all my grounds where they should be so I can keep the right amount in while I stir up with my janky paper clip WDT tool. Results have improved for sure.

nice yeah amazing how such cheap workflow improvements make a huge difference. for me it's a $3 dissection needle but I wouldn't hesitate to use a paperclip, all my paperclips just end up being bowl pokers
and yeah dude light roasted espresso is a bitch to dial in without flow control so it might not be the best bet for you but if you send me your address I'll mail you some beans that should work well

The crema on that looks dope tgapp.
Just brewed my last of that Yemeni on a dreary, chilly morning here in Denver. Even after this long off roast it still needed significant bloom time. That was an incredible bag of coffee. Thanks dude.

bleh I made another one but loosened up the grind (went from like an 11.5 to a 14 on the Niche) for God knows why and ended up at 48g over 85 seconds and it was watery and uncompelling and just not nearly as fucking good, whatever, now I'm over caffeinated and I want the original one back
And yeah doebedoe, Yemeni coffee is fucking dope, I'm keeping an eye out for that Special Red lot again and I will absolutely buy more of it

Tgapp (or anyone else...):
any thoughts on "Turbo Espresso" shots? original videos from last summer, but getting some more traction recently. The basic idea is loosen the grind, bump the pump pressure down to 6 bar, and pump out a 2.5 or 3 to 1 shot in under 20 seconds. Seems so counterintuitive, and takes away some of the texture of a slow-pulled shot, but the taste/extraction reviews are very positive...

It tasted like…. Cold brewed espresso. I’m not sure how else to put it but the mellow flavor you get from cold brew? It tastes like that but with espresso. Both the wife and I agreed we liked traditional espresso better. I guess if you are really into / used to cold brew, this is a good way to quickly make cold brew.

My green bean supply is dwindling down. Anyone made any recent purchases they like?

that's a question for the coffee roasting thread jong
Royal just landed in three coffees from Galo Morales, none of which I've had, but all of Galo's coffee is exceptional and I would buy without question. I'm eyeing his natural that Royal is carrying right now

Hell yeah dude, that looks delicious! Well done.
I like single origin espresso from dry processed coffees to be slightly blonded (over extracted) just like in your shot, since a little bitterness can balance what would otherwise be a big bodied, chocolate/fruit bomb. Ymmv obviously.

I've been rocking an Ecuadorian Galo Morales coffee that Jackattack hooked me up with as a single origin espresso, and it's really incredible. Galo Morales is my absolute favorite grower in Ecuador, and this espresso is like strawberry shortcake with this huge, creamy mouth feel. 18.5g in, 36g out, 65 seconds, 202f.
I've also got about 1.5lbs through my new Weber key. I can't say it's necessarily any better than my Niche Zero (ex ended up with that), but I am getting some phenomenally tasty shots out of it

Did you get the Galo from Royal? Is it the washed or the natural? That looks delicious.

It says it's a natural but everyone on home-barista seems to think that it's an anaerobic natural. I tend to agree.
Amazing coffee, fuck me.

This pretty much explains the rationale, even if it's for drip brew methods. Generally speaking lighter roasted coffees work better with hotter water.
I basically found the setting where boiling water was coming out of the pump (204°f) and then backed off until the water was no longer boiling.

Yeah, I have been getting much closer to those numbers these last couple of days.
I pulled 4 shots today using tgapps flow control workflow that were baller and even tried out steaming milk for a couple lattes - every aspect of my technique remains underdeveloped. This lungo over ice yesterday afternoon was a thing of beauty though.

Been putting dark chocolate balsamic vinegar in my morning mocha. Highly recommend. As a bonus I've read balsamic can lower blood pressure.
