Episode 85 on Monday the 28th of June 2010 Nicaragua Limoncillo 2010-2011

Colin’s performance was awesomely good. Interesting concept using water as the sig drink. I changed from filtered water to bottled water a while ago in my espresso machine and it made a huge difference in the flavour.

I had a brief chat with Colin on thursday and he seemed pretty pleased with it. Fridays performance was even better imo.

Was great to meet up, however briefly Steve – I will upload the video of you in the Aeropress championship shortly. It’s utterly terrible quality though.

Being away from home and the WBC has given me very little time to drink much of my own coffee, including last weeks IMM which I’ve only just opened. But this week, all will be drunk. Including the remains of some of the open bags handed over by the lovely people behind the brew bar.

So happy to see this coffee drop though the letter box this week. Absolutely loved the previous crop and I’m hoping that it continues to be as tasty.

As previously mentioned…

Apologies for the dreadful video/sound quality.

Thanks for the Aero Press movie fun to see him in action! Last year’s harvest was really good, one of my favorites in 2009 so it’ll be really fun to try this coffee again, fun! Unfortunately, I suspect that my subscription is soon coming to an end in a few weeks … How quickly a year has passed! Thanks for the coffee so far:)

Steve thanks for another great show. All of that talk about the WBC and no props to Michael? They were all amazing competitors and I can’t wait for next year where the WBC is going to a coffee growing region finally, that will be awesome for all involved.

Also, hope you are having a great time in Bolivia.

And one more, nice top down view you had there…

Thanks for you aerobie comments Steve. I will play around with the grind to see what works best. TBH I have been using an espresso grind in my aerobie until now, but have dug out my manual grinder for the aerobie. I think the limoncillo works best as a brewed coffee and a little to sharp for espresso. Another quality coffee. Keep them coming.

By the way what was happening in that aerobie video Steve? Carbonated water? Soda stream?

No longer backing the beard?!

Wow just a stunning coffee. I had the year before last crop and had forgot how nice it was. This years crop I must agree is even better with more flavour especially the caramel. Its so stunning Ive just ordered some more. Fantastic coffees coming through on these IMM.

Yum. Wonderful coffee. Was good last time, and just as good now. I can taste the descriptors if I think about it, but generally I’m just too busy enjoying this one. I think I’d be quite happy if you just alternated this one and the Yirgacheffe, but trying different coffees is what makes In My Mug such fun. Liked this weeks episode. They always seem better in the “backroom” areas. I can sit and wonder what all the interesting stuff in the background is.

No real comment on the episode, just to say I’m back to brighten up your day once more
