The recent coffee order from Roaste was great; awsome coffee roasted fresh and shipped quickly. Tonight I was in the mood to try something new in the world of coffee and thought to myself that I have never have Kenyan coffee before. A quick search reveal that Maghogony Roaster have a Kenyan coffee selling at 1 pound for a great price of $12. I was about to place the order and I see this:
1. Remember Portola’s wafflegato? Last time I wrote that variations on that theme were expected. Indeed, there have been two so far. See below for the recipes.
- a. Featuring organic goat’s milk caramel, salted caramel gelato, and aleppo pepper seasoning
- b. Incorporating peach gelato, peach balsamic, the return of the Dauphinoise, and Murray River sea salt

I had a rather busy yet unproductive weekend. I drove around with the family getting a few errands done in San Francisco, and took a few longer drives to go out to a few places to eat. All of that car time really adds up, especially when a drive that normally should take 15 minutes, takes closer to 45 minutes. However, that is beside the point.
I had a lot of work cut out for me this weekend, so I thought this Sunday morning I deserve something special! How about some Kopi Luwak? I’m having some aging away for a week or so waiting to be made into delicious espresso. I have find that the kopi Luwak which I received as gift from Vietnam is best left to age for at least a week after roasting for best tasting. If it is brewed up too soon, it can taste undeveloped and have off taste that ruin the whole experience.
The Unroasted green Kopi Luwak coffee beans can look quiet horrible:
I realize it is pure folly to exclaim this coffee is the best, or that coffee is the best, particularly in print. The best one could hope for is to give an indication that some coffee is in the top tier. And, of course, everyone has their own preferences, so even more of a word to the wise: careful how you rate your latest tastey brew.
So what do I do about Velton’s Twilight Blend?

This is an update about the condition of the Olympia Cremina 67 that I recently acquired through ebay.
