New samples on the way!

Just ordered some samples of some new coffees, including a couple "monsooned" coffees from Java and India. I also am trying a Kenya AA Maywal, which is supposed to have an intensely citrus taste.

I also picked up a Guatemalan Robusta to try in a stronger espresso blend. I have not been very pleased with my blends so far. My goal for the next couple weeks are to refine them and come up with something that will really knock your socks off.

Want to be a guinea pig? I'm toying with the idea of setting up a cupping and espresso tasting. Not sure where, but perhaps at the roaster in Dearborn Heights (yeah, its really just my old house, but the only thing left there is my roaster, so why not call it like it is??).

Dave!
