Okay, I totally need to get an areopress and a hand grinder for my backpacking trips… no more sub-amazing coffee for me while backpacking.

Thanks for your honesty here Steve but as a non-subscriber this one I wont be tasting. As for buying coffee, I never realised how sesonal coffee can be and I am not sure what you mean by “cupping table!” I often wondered how is it you can supply the likes of Fernandez and Wells for the entire year with the same coffee coffee and I might add its one of my favorite blends you ever created, Just wish it could be bought online.

Hi Steve this coffee will not last the week it is nice as espresso and also brewed with a v60.As someone who is exploring coffee and learning about taste i appreciate your judgement and experiance, if the quality has dropped its time to move on in the hope that the quality can return.

Enjoying this coffee and not finding it as smooth as some of the Brazillians I have had in the past – which is a good thing. One question I have – is it just me, or do different beans / roasts cause the ground beans to go further / less far? I.e it seems that when I grind some beans I seem to get more ground coffee than when I grind other beans – is that just me, or does the roast / bean affect this?
Cheers

I love your transparency on the state of the farm, bummer deal.

The coffee sounds delicious.

Just a heads up – I posted my video tasting of the coffee you sent me.

Thanks again. – Jason

Whozzaaa. Chocolatey. Loverleee. Shame we can’t get any more. Hey Steve there is no sentiment in business. Keep doing the things you are doing.

Very silky smooth texture with a very moreish delicate chocolate taste. Very good and a shame that there is no more.

We as customers have to trust your judgement and if the coffee does not meet your predefined standards then you should not stock it. As you have said in the past the cupping table tells no lies.

But I also hope that the farm listens to what you and others say and comes back just as good if not better in a couple of years.
