on the yemenia? nope, he’s basically roasting it at cost: https://levercraftcoffee.com/collections/whole-bean-coffee/products/single-origin-yemenia-qima-alchemy-series-lot-3 For other beans, yeah there’s generally tiered pricing on greens. Full 65kg bags are usually significantly cheaper, before shipping. Then there are places that sell in the 50-65 lb range, then 25, 15, and 5.

I could participate with some hyper-local coffee, but it's a relatively unknown roaster

I just finished my yeminia. Made it as a luongo, 18g in 135g out. An amazing coffee. I'd roast it on the regular if I could get it for under $10/lb green. At current prices tho, I'm glad I got to try it.

The two grinders I've been happiest with espresso: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264926779752?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item3daeddd968:g:VnMAAOSwOGdfeo9t&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAADEPYe5NmHp%2B2JMhMi7yxGiTJkPrKr5t53CooMSQt2orsStdebXPz4ZTXCT8FI9kPBh3H7icDs8pdj8hZbd4eDhOQJuDStqyZ0upicFUYto8%2FD43NPbbB0AHlbJbfRv1nBf3viE%2BRm6yOvzGVxFPPUC6ersF51fD04cu6sR7mCO7WECph5WTHVzfb7oe3HNp5%2Bi7FJTAcTw20q7R8nQsrE2GyNDwaO6P%2B6RvaUzqN8593QV0Xl3UVDTlg%2FKpUTIJU72LxEVuS8KkLuK%2FkCnYtl86kpViucM7hhifXgrE3kqHgKqrtNhOCmy3%2Bi%2F7cWAnDEhA%2F4Fzhhj4ArVb%2B%2FgZTrsS5q0Bb55FTr6uXqrbF5VyGbddCPmQNYhF5nu38bvHfelcnsDFYqQzoIm0GF0%2BiWgk8wPgMx%2FQrOOVEugv8P1UGFpShczyo27y9OjeqkgAsFszqA1MhjuxvonW2w90CDGmQ%2BFJFKrJ3ViG%2B6FQr9GOaCWB0nKyy1sDEOQCjSJmf%2FfcRmaZo6KQ535%2BgrepLBydnwnkQ7T%2BBtB2hfunwa26Znserqj1UWuNGPAqd%2FtPu%2FinFEMR3VMcsMiXtsTbiGH1QH%2BvL1DthT6KOL8Kxs68d3drfNHFooNa2gX22sPTkqgEulQysYlMmIlGQGjMXya5I3era5LCefgHrwNde2J%2F7B5Hc2VvM041CzsRPojjOF762BP4Zw%2BqMcBi2%2FnhnED0mA%2FRf78YH4ZkM1tIWjJtLUUJJfz4v558vlDz%2B6g7%2Bx0%2FXgjJcmN2T3P6bLLMYACNEPVDqqQ2cwPwfe4lqoULIUDsnz3SAg7Xhl0ADctOsvfLe10%2B5Mw3QecgIptYcMFOAwDE5eQC0hLXgVDw9zbrnDhFtAVdTDagX3nd%2FIR24SUIm7zQUYenbWcnEV2ZOTL4ftjZIDyIoc8b712qskP0zJ6bjON1olUIEhDzWvJbzaHnYpraNYVqoc1TWLj5YTUYCJfs9lgDhBlv1bAqgu7GXtI%2BHaOVpwn9XPQk6riPWfmhHRiTzkVONTvWHdrjQKuwM%3D|clp%3A2334524|tkp%3ABFBMkIya_55f and the niche. That crappy $50 chinese grinder works better than it has any right to, but is a bit finicky. It's too fast, it's staticky, and you only want to single dose with it, but it's inifite adjustment, and gets plenty fine. Similarly, the breville infuser at $550 is what I'd get if I didn't have my decent. My daughter has that pair, and she can make an amazing espresso with the pair. Mine is more consistent, and easier to dial in, but she can make espresso that rivals any coffee shop I've been to with $600 in hardware and my beans...

no i’m not d-_-b enough. i have a niche and a fellows

save time and get a levercraft ultra https://levercraftcoffee.com/pages/ultra-grinder

I used the niche, the ode is in the camper at the moment

The luongo had better body and similar flavor. Definitely an improvement.

Definitely not cloying. Very subtle. I'm not a refined enough palate (especially scent) to be much more specific.

I just made a 15x15 pourover of the levercraft yemenia qima alchemy. It's definitely NOT my favorite cup ever, but it's pretty interesting. Very floral and bright, without the sharp acidity that usually accompanies light roasts. The aroma, both of the beans and the cup, is fantastic. The body is light, I may go for a higher ratio next time, or maybe even luongo espresso.

I like that

Happy Birthday!

It's similar consistency and retention. It definitely doesn't do espresso, tho.

I'm a fan of mine

I guess that wasn't quite the right thread. It's not a tv show. Oh well.

by their lineup I'm assuming you mean their intel lineup. Because the m1 laptops are brilliant.

i’ve had dozens of yemeni coffees that were all over the map.

I certainly don't use dark roast for espresso. Concentrated burnt flavor isn't my jam.

I'm looking forward to it. It's certainly more expensive than the best gesha I've had, but I wanted to try it.

i have yemenia coming from him. I’m looking forward to it.

Went and camped at the nantahala this weekend. The 2 harder sections that only run a couple times a year were running and water levels were about double normal, so it was something of an event. I got some video of Dane Jackson playing in the nantahala falls, and ran the river sunday.

that looks like it didn't suck

he was my favorite comedian for a very long time.

Why would you go finer, that timing sounds perfect?
