And quite a few has, in their own mind, come up with the perfect routine. To make a long story short: We kept the grinder setting, but varied the brew time.

Treating the symptoms not the disease | That other coffee blog

https://thatothercoffeeblog.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/treating-the-symptoms-not-the-disease

A coffee roasters musings. That other coffee blog. Treating the symptoms not the disease. Lately there have been an increasing focus on how the coffee is packed at origin and at the roastery. Numerous blogposts and comments on forums have glorified the advantages of new methods of packing green beans and at the same time complaining about the shortcomings of the jute bag. Which gas should be used when flushing the coffee? What kind of metal/plastic material is to be used when vac-pacing? If this is actua...

Cupping on the iPhone | That other coffee blog

https://thatothercoffeeblog.wordpress.com/2009/04/03/cupping-on-the-iphone

A coffee roasters musings. That other coffee blog. Cupping on the iPhone. Ok I admit it: I’m a gadget freak. But what would life be without these all to often oh so useless, pricey machines that sparkle like jewels and make cool sounds? Please don’t answer that question. I have for a while been looking for an easier way to jot down cupping notes. My writing can sometimes be less than legible after hurriedly writing down notes on pieces of paper while cupping. Enter the iPhone! By the way, the cupping not...

Cupping resource Part 1 | That other coffee blog

https://thatothercoffeeblog.wordpress.com/2009/03/23/cupping-resource-part-1

A coffee roasters musings. That other coffee blog. Cupping resource Part 1. Ok Finally I’ve managed to make a new version of the cupping form I had made after looking through all the cupping forms I could get my hands on. I was going to post it long ago, but the harddrive of my mac died and with it all my work. Personally I’d like to be able to have a cupping form that could be used not just for the full thorough cuppings. Edit: I looked through the cupping form recently and discovered that if you added ...

A coffee roasters musings. That other coffee blog. Shop roasting: Roasting with an audience. Last week our roaster malfunctioned (again! And I had to go out of the shop to roast. Solberg and Hansen. Were nice enough to let us use their UG22 Probat roaster. Thank you S&H! They are a medium scale roaster and naturally don’t roast their coffee in a coffeebar as we do. The whole experience taught me a lot about several things. Photo taken by Chris Kolbu. And used without permission… Sorry Chris.). Well there...

What makes it taste so good? | That other coffee blog

https://thatothercoffeeblog.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/what-makes-it-taste-so-good

A coffee roasters musings. That other coffee blog. What makes it taste so good? In earlier posts I have written about how important it is to taste your own coffee and to check your routines. All to often however I have found how hard it is to objectively review how good (or bad) your own coffee tastes to others. What makes a certain coffee taste good, and can one judge taste objectively? This blog gives an excellent example with cigars. So how can we trust our own taste, and how accurate is our cupping?
