What kind of beans are you drinking? Where do you source them, and how much does it run you.

How to you brew it? Tips, Tricks techniques. Whats important whats not.

cgod:

Sumatra Mandheling. It's a rich low acid coffee. Might be too low acid for some people.

I've got some Columbia and Yirgacheffe around as well.

I only got the Colombia for retail this week, no bulk so I haven't really drank much. It's low acid as well and pretty a typical Columbia.

I've cold brewed all the Ethiopian and sold a shit ton of it. People seem to be digging it. I'm in a cold brew funk and an Ethiopian funk as well, just not in the mood for either and I couldn't tell you objectively what I think of it.

Doing pour-overs with stainless steel paperless filters. Fuck paper filters, they cost money and leave a bit of spitball flavor (you have to be a real bitch to actually be bothered by the flavor). I'm in favor of steel or gold cones.

Otherwise I'm using a venerable Astoria espresso machine, a brand new Fetco brewer and a linen bag with a 5 gallon bucket for the cold brew.
