Some very pretty Columbian

One of my new favorites from Sweet Maria's Columbia Vereda Pedregal.

a slightly rounded 1/3 cup and 62 g raw it weighs out at 52 g after roasting.

My typical brew these days is 50 g of roasted beans and 24 ounces of water.

Sometimes with stronger tasting beans I might add 4 ounces of hot water to the pot before I brew it.

For example the Bolivian roasted up a beautiful big bean and was very strong tasting but after a little extra water in the pot tasted perfect.

I have seen the promised land

Since I was going to be in San Francisco I decided that I had to go visit Sweet Maria's homebase and so I placed an order for 12 pounds of coffee that I could pick up shipping free. I will write more later as the iPhone app for bloggers seems to be a little less robust.
