I missed out, and the price was a bit baller for me anyway. But I did try the Elida at the cafe on Sunday, it was so good that I went back later in the day for another. Just an awesome coffee.

Agreed I tried it on Saturday and it was top shelf

Finally got a decent home roaster, decent Facebook marketplace score.

First roast from Saturday, good success, did several more yesterday and just waiting a few days to allow off gassing

SIL won this but they don’t drink coffee, so passed it on to us:

Used to work with Chris at my first 'real job'. Cool to see it working out for him!

The 50% off subscription is what finally got me onto a coffee subscription last year.

Same, just started a new one with current promo… 5 bags for $40 can’t be beat! Also gesha for 40% is nice. They sent me an additional 50% off promo code too for customer appreciation

isnt it $40 for 2 bags? im confused

[ercchry]

Subscription? No, the regular all year discount for 5+ bags is 20% off, so $80/order of 5… use the black Friday code and it drops to $40

I considered starting a new subscription too with the promo, but I got the customer appreciation code and that was enough for me to just continue my existing one instead. Support local business and all.

There's only one gesha on the website and it's for filter... I wonder if there's more in the cafes.

How often is your rotation for 5 bags, and what size bags they send?

You can choose the frequency… we were doing 6 weeks, just dropped it to 5 weeks as we were running out early. Bags are their standard 350g ones. I do the roaster’s choice as the GF like the classic profiles and I like the fruitier ones. It’s been a good mix, the odd back to back order has a duplicate bean from the month before, but fairly good variety

I really have been enjoying Godfather from Analog, how do Monograms Ardent and Asopep stack up?

Edit: or do i wait for a potential Analog black Friday sale?

Godfather leans way more towards a traditional roast. Monogram single origin espressos by comparison would be a much lighter roast, which brings out a lot more character in the bean and distinction between origins but some people find sour.

[beyond_ban]

^ right, right, now that you mention it i have tried some of their beans before and it definitely can have a "sour" tone to it.

Any recommendations that are similar to Godfather without paying $25/lb?

How come some bags of beans come out more oily than others? Kinda gums up the grinder.

Roasted too long or roasted poorly. Dark roasts are generally pretty oily, because they've been roasted longer than a light or medium roast and the internal moisture/oils of the green bean comes out more.

People have the misconception that oily beans = good

If you like dark roast, great, but you're more so tasting the roast than the actual beans itself.

Also from the commercial mass producing side, I think the oily aspect helps with longer shelf times, you ideally want to drink coffee within 5-10 days after it was roasted.

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.
