I have been to Jamaica and come back with a pound (454g for the continentally based amongst us) of roasted beans labelled "100% Blue Mountain, product of the Blue Mountain small coffee farmers, Portland, Jamaica WI," which cost me the princely sum of $20 US.
While I am prepared to accept that this is probably not the best quality Blue Mountain, as I presume that all gets exported to Japan, I would like to do it justice.
I haven't opened the pack yet (BBE 1 Sep 2013!!) but I am hoping that the roast is a medium. That is not indicated on the packaging.
So -
the advice I need is, what is the best way to prepare my little cache regarding grind and brewing method? I presume grinding it to powder and
sticking into the Gaggia Classic would be frowned upon.
All suggestions gratefully receved.
