Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
If I do end up brewing my coffee these days, I use about 18~20g for a cup (which is around 300ml for me).
On that note, I’m currently looking for some new beans to try. I was getting beans from Ark Coffee before as they were right where we lived, but now looking to try some more. Heard from a mate that’s been a barista for quite a while, that they like Red Rabbit for their specialty coffees.
Looking for something quite fruity/acidic, and one thats quite hearty?/earthy? not too sure what to call it.
It’s been a long time since I had it, but I remember one of the Peoples Coffee varieties was quite fruity. I think it was the Guatemalan Huhuetenango
Ahh yes, have had people recommend them a few times - might need to give them a go as well.
I’m an instant drinker now, but I found single origin beans had more distinct flavours than blends, downside is they cost a bit more.
Ah, that seems proportionately similar to what I use for a cup of non-decaf.
I’m no coffee connoisseur so can’t really recommend anything to your specifications (hopefully someone else can), but the bourbon aged coffee is still in stock if you’re looking to try something a little different.
I use Mackenzie beans in my cafe these days - big fan of their Mainland blend - rich, round, mellow, very easy to drink, and we get lots of compliments too!
When I just looked them up on google, I first went into McKenzies Foods’ website, and i was wondering where the coffee beans were amongst all the peas and lentils etc lol.
Interesting - I’d never heard of them until now. Will have to put them into the list as well :)
Oh hahah, didn’t realise there was a similar brand name, oops!
