Fermented Coffee?? Wow! What's next? Compost Coffee???

Well, technically all coffee goes through some form of fermentation when the “bean” is being separated from the fruit. Anaerobic is done in a more controlled manner.

One of the key differences between anaerobic and aerobic biology, is it the different life critters delivering different outputs. Dunno about the beans tho … lol

@la szum watch those videos I posted if you’re interested.

Thanks for the reminder! I'll pop them on the Tele while I am pulling Kitchen Duty tonight.

Ubatuba granite from Brazil?

Home Depot Special.

Christ. These are some of the funkiest smelling and tasting varieties I’ve had in a long time. I expected it from the Anaerobic, but the dark roast was a surprise. Definitely tasting chocolate and berries.

Are you a coffee drinker?

Home Depot Special.

Could well be Ubatuba… just curious since I bought a couple slabs of it once.

Is it green or black. Can’t quite see.

It’s black. It was a scratch and dent piece that had some flaws, but it was cheap.

The more I look at this, the more I lust after a nice espresso... Took our DeLonghi Dedica to the shop this afternoon, fingers crossed it's an easy fix.

It's broken, and we've been having Bialetti-style mocca and greek Frappe for the last couple months - both of which I enjoy, but a true espresso is another level.

I love a good espresso, but a quality machine just isn’t in the cards for me at the moment.

I have one of those hand press, get your pump on Espresso "machines."

I have no clue how bad they are, or are not. It works, and makes a tasty little shot.

I have a EC680M DeLonghi and refuse to pay for coffee outside (unless I am traveling).

My Aeropress and grinder goes with me whenever I travel. If that isn’t an option, I always try to find the roasters closest to my destination.

This is my second order from Black & White Coffee Roasters. I gotta just say that their flavor profile descriptions as absolutely spot on. If you’re new to specialty coffee and have difficulty identifying and describing notes, I highly recommend them.

I need you guys to recommend me a good backpacking solution. Hot water, filter, (grind?).
