Trying Square mile’s Thirika Kenyan coffee this week in the Aeropress. First time and it’s a really unique flavour! Would love to hear thoughts on these beans or Kenyan coffee in general!
this is the recipe site that i like to play with. it does't has filter option but i like to use stainless steel filter, it give me more earthy smell. https://aeromatic.app/recipes/aeropress
I generally keep my aeropress right side up. Is there really that much of a difference, besides the few drops that fall into the cup before the plunger is added?
Just ordered an aero press today. Work coffee has gotten progressively worse, and the carafes are never cleaned. Looking forward to being able to drink coffee at work again.
How is the square mile stuff? From when I last checked they were a bit more expensive than the roasters a bit more local to me so haven't got round to trying them yet
I do rate them but you are right they are definitely more expensive than other options. I don’t mind so much when it’s a more out there type as they do seem to support the growers. They do have redbrick which is a decent espresso blend for around £13 a bag.
I was drugged to a energy drink right after lunch. I noticed I had to drink it to feel right. so I stoopzd cold turkey and when I felt the withdrawal symptoms a week after (dizziness, headaches, nausea), I understood how good of a thing it was to stop being drugged. But caffeine has a pass in our society... when I see all the people needing coffee to function, I feel bad for them. Now my energy is evenly spread out during the day and not only for 2 hours. I can even work out in the morning!
Kenyans have been hit or miss for me. They’re very interesting but sometimes they have an almost sickly sweet tang to them that can be a bit much. I enjoyed the recent one from Portrait once it had mellowed for a couple weeks.
