A new Blend???

by **espressomattic** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 12:18 am

OK here's what I want:

Something Spicey but fruity. Not too acidic but with a hint of citrus going on but it has to have an earthy/dirty feel to it too.

Suggestions on a post card please...

And I thought I'd get a sensible answer from you young Steve!!! :wink:

Anyway Cakey is far to chewy for my tastes!! :shock:

So Steve have you any sensible suggestions or am I going to have to do some studying on coffeeinfo.co.uk?? :wink:

Ok I'll try and be serious

Perhaps some aged Java with some brazil and a little yirg or Yemen. I'd work with equal amounts to start then adjust to taste

Is that better

Fair enough... I'll just let my imagination run wild! :twisted:

Now, where IS Spongey? Maybe he'll indulge me. Oh noooo... you did leave bits of him, didn't you breako?

Sorry, been looking in the mirror ..... I seem to be covered it unexplainable bite marks

Perhaps Cakeboy slathered in HP sauce would make him more palatable . :lol:

Sorry easy target.

Hmm... cake and HP sauce... I dunno Kate. Perhaps cake and a sweet coffee glaze? :lol:

Lightly grill me first though ...... and it may need to be a savoury recipe. I am currently marinating in a blend of fresh herbs and spices

by **Beanie** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 4:46 pm

Bllleeecchhh :shock:

No wonder breako thought you were too chewy!!!

I'd rather have a freshly baked, not grilled, cake marinated in brandy or rum or something alcoholic :twisted:

and finished off with drizzles of cocoa-coffee glaze. Hmmm... time to go experiment in the kitchen now. :shock:

2 cents: Brazil Ipanema/Guatemala Antigua/Ethiopia Yirgacheffe/Yemen Sanani

What have coffee beans got to do with how to cook me? Damn it, anyone would think this was a coffee forum! :wink:

Okay, Cakey, this is getting just too weird... I'm just gonna have to steer this back on topic.

Breako, instead of Yirg for the lemony zest citrus, how about the Zambia or Zimbabwe from HB's selection for a more orangy citrus instead? I also liked the Lintong that we cupped but all I remember from it are the strawberries

I think it was the 2nd one in line from the left, next to the no. 1 - Harrar, of course

A new Blend???
