Seems really inconsistent from Mount Pleasant Roasters. I like lighter roasts, so I aim for thier "medium" but honestly enjoy the coop Ethiopian probably most of all.

I would recommend a monogram subscription for a couple months… 10/10 will ruin your cheap beans. Took a while but the GF who use to drink garbage like McDick pods now can’t even handle a cup brewed with greasy ethical beans… which she unfortunately bought when we ran out of monogram early one month. Awful two days

Some beans are suited for a full city or full city+ roast so that might be why they are oily or on the verge of being a dark roast, but yeah a city/medium roast shouldn't be overly oily

I've been getting better at uniformity and hitting the roast level I like, light to medium light, definitely need to give the beans 5-7 days to off gas and build flavour/aromatics.

Current roasts are something I would pay money for and comparable to what I like from monogram

Some Tanzanian peaberry


Columbian I forget the farm


Got my beans some nipples for degassing... They're meant for pickling but perfect for degassing and keeping air out

Enjoyed this bag quite a bit.

Totally admire the dedication... Roasting is a whole other hobby on top of espresso that I wouldn't have time for. That and 100g only lasts a day in my household, so I'd have to be doing it constantly.

Haha yeah it definitely becomes a time consuming hobby, especially if you start roasting for friends and family.

Might eventually move to a larger roaster but that'll be a ~$3000 investment

Super enjoy and love doing it though, continuous fresh roasted beans is great, also great cost savings once your roasting unit is paid off from no longer buying retail beans.

Found a local green bean supplier and beans are so damn cheap for the most part, good margins in the coffee game

No wonder Italian coffee tastes like burnt ass.

Just signed up to try Monogram as well... Hope it is worth it!

This sounds like a way to make my life worse.

what size are the monogram bags? 1lb?

It appears I can get free shipping out to Toronto with this deal, so I might try it out for a couple months.

Ruining simple pleasures is a hobby of mine

GF when she came to me blissfully drank McDick’s coffee, with Starbucks being a special occasion coffee, ate at kinjo and earls… not anymore! Haha

Monogram for $10.67/lb is a worthless life upgrade for a couple months

I agree it is. You are a sick sick man. I restrict my really good coffee to extremely occasional visits to Sought x Found. Cheap Bean pour-over is my daily.

We hopped on the Monogram deal as well. It's the best coffee in town

Okay… So tell me what makes a pour over different than drip? I drink like a 10 cup pot every morning.. isn’t that essentially just a giant pour over?

[ExtraSlow]

I honestly have no idea, but the cool kids call it a pour over. I make mine one cup at a time, hand ground, through a metal filter.
Got the filter on Amazon, box says pour over. https://www.amazon.ca/BlinkOne-Pour-.../dp/B073WLF844
maybe one of the coffee nerds can enlighten us.

[ercchry]

Drip is a machine, less control, pour over is done by hand… even less control while at the hands of ES than drip

I'm an animal. Don't even have a gooseneck kettle.

Temperature control and stability - with a fancy kettle you can pick the water temperature and it'll be consistent, on a coffee pot the water starts warm and gets hotter and hotter
Blooming - saturating the grounds and letting CO2 escape allows water to extract the coffee better rather than bypassing it because of the gases escaping at the same time
Even pouring of water over the grounds instead of dumping straight in the middle which overextracts the middle and underextracts the sides

But many of these issues can be overcome with a fancy brew setup.
