Burnt hair is an interesting strategy: probably save a lot of energy getting some volume roasts to a consistent level by roasting a little less and just adding some artisinally burnt hair.

Personally, I've never much liked their French, or Italian dark roasts. Too much smoke. (Calling bogus on burnt hair tho, that smells same as fingernails, ime).
Used to quite like the Viennese, but that went away.
The bs for the V&W blend sounds pretty cool:
*This year’s Autumn blend boasts a trio of rare microlot coffees in a medium style, gems that shine brighter in the presence of their companions. A washed coffee from Jimma, Ethiopia, brings floral and citrus notes, while a wet-hulled coffee from the Solok Radjo Coop in West Sumatra adds spice, earth, and pepper. A natural processed coffee from Yemen is the final jewel, filled with winey spice, herbal notes, and candied citrus.*
Or, to quote a young Allen Kao, who went on to become a roaster at Peet's "tastes like dirt"...

I'm supremely offended by this French roast bullshit. I never heard of the stuff until I moved here and of course it had to be the vilest of all dark roasts. French people love coffee and I guarantee you serve the average Frenchie a shot of that stuff at a cafe and you get slapped around. Call it what it is damn it, 'Murican El Cheapo Gas Station roast, all the color, none of the flavor.

aspiring coffee mags - we just had a baby and I've been cleaning stuff out to make room for baby gear. I have an aeropress and a porlex mini hand grinder that in all likelihood i'll never use again. I'd like to pass these along to a deserving mag. I offered to tgapp first and he politely declined but offered to send me coffee instead. Shoot me a pm if you can put these items to use and I will send them out via flat rate usps

on topic-ish question: is there any good, productive use for stale beans? one of my recent orders was lost in shipping for a while and when it was finally delivered, the envelope was damaged and one of the packages was pierced so it went completely stale. Do I just compost these? Calibrate the grinder? put them in a jar and use as a pen-holder?

I find I can bring the coffee equivalent of dried feces to work and they think I’ve brought in something anointed by Christ.

Bump and shout out to tgapp. Real deal coffee connoisseur. I am lucky enough to have tasted two of his roasts. The first one Panamanian being called “geisha“ is smooth as silk. To me it tastes like a finally brewed tea. And can be drinking by the court. The second roasts name escapes me but it is also Panamanian and tgapp Describes the taste of strawberries. This roast blew me away strong pungent and definitely with a strawberry twang. I enjoyed them both and I am grateful for the gift. Merry Christmas

fkna man, those cookies you gave us were the best holiday cookies i've ever had - i definitely came out ahead in that exchange! shortbread and the ones with sprinkles that tasted almost like anise were my surprise favorites, but they were all honestly amazing.
thank you so much, you fucking rock

Haha. It’s a glass yogurt jar. Been using it since breaking a nice ceramic mug about 4 years ago. Well, this is my third yogurt glass....
I like the see through thing, even if the shape isn’t perfect.
FWIW, I took the pic with the timer running, so that shows about 8 sec longer than actual time.
