Comparison of Ethiopian Medium Roast
-Joe N.
Feb 3rd roast date:
- First opened package: The aroma is not as apparent. The beans still smell good but not that strong of aroma.
- Appearance of the beans: Can't really tell of any discolored difference.
- Grind: I prepared the grind for a pour over in my Chemex. The beans still smell fresh.
- Pour over experience: At first pour, the bloom is not as appealing. It still blooms but not as high. I proceeded to finish the pour over process and nothing else seemed to differ.
- Tasting: At first taste the coffee didn't feel any different but the floral aroma was not as strong.
- Overall: Still a good quality roast and produces a solid cup of JOE!

- Appearance of the beans: Can't really tell difference.
- Grind: When grinding, you can smell the freshness of the coffee.
- Pour over: Blooms higher and the smell is stronger at first pour.

It’s just amazing to know each morning that the best coffee in Chicago is roasted 3 miles from my house and more importantly is waiting to be brewed downstairs when I get up!
