    Bought some El Jacinto from Coffee Angel. Haven't opened it yet but looking forward to it. I liked the packaging so much I put up a few pics! You normally just get a bag some some suppliers. Although those bags are seal-able and I'm not sure if the Coffee Angel bag in the pic is. Also found that the last Badger & Dodo batch with the 'foody' taste got much better on day 10. Proof that 'Day 10' truly is when you get the best out of roasted beans.

    Very pretty, though I do wonder if so much packaging is necessary from an environmental perspective tbh. (I have been making a real effort to cut down on the disposable takeaway cups lately so I'm am getting a bit sensitive to these things I guess :D) More importantly, let us know how it tastes! :)

    Well the El Jacinto from Coffee Angel was OK but not great, certainly not as good as the beans I've had from 3fe or B&D. So I'm going back to Badger & Dodo for a 1kg bag of their lovely Guatemala El Jade.

    I started to find it a bit boring tbh. The Mama Mina is a good bit better. Don't get me wrong, the Xmas blend is nice, but it's a bit too mildly flavoured.

    lol, this just came today as the December installment of the Subscription. I've a big french press that I'll be bringing over to my folks on Xmas morning, so we can get stuck into it then. The bag won't last long.

    Rwanda - Buf Nyarusiza
    Received this last week.

    It's a nice coffee, gentle acidity. It's also kind of "warming" or something.

    I'm enjoying this subscription, I have to say.

    El Salvador - Finca Los Andes: Washed, Bourbon

    Recieved this one a bit later than normal, due to the show delays.

    But oh my god, it was so worth the wait, this is the best one I've received so far. Lovely sweet coffee, the caramel really comes through on the base layer of flavour.

    Very smooth mouthfeel, it's like silk.

    That's a double shot espresso Americano.

    Will make some in a French press at the weekend.

    If you like good coffee, get this!

    What way are you brewing that El Salvador.

    What weight of beans do you use in a shot?
