I took the box it came in to work, it made my office smell amazing for a few days...
Mmmm waking up with Brazil is great followed by a cup of Honduras and then a great cup of Guatemala to get you ready to take over the world! Lol
So, this showed up on my doorstep today. Smells absolutely fantastic. Tomorrow morning will be the first try.
My question is: Which one to try first?

Man the inner juvenile is strong to respond to this post. Erererreteterrereererrrrrr, my wife packaged that box......... .......
Be careful. Taking great coffee to work can make your coworkers pretend to be your best friend and be nice. Until you let them know that you like the coffee to much to share. Then the will all hate you and conspire to do bad things to you for coffee snobs coffee.I took the box it came in to work, it made my office smell amazing for a few days...

Lol.
I've been drinking the Brazil for the last two days. It is very smooth, and I can't wait to try the others. Thanks to Corey and Sabrina!

Did you find a difference with brewing temp?

Hey Dan.
I just checked my water temp, making my coffee the same way I always have. It's a little lower than recommended, at 186 degrees. After Corey gave me the tip about the temp, I looked it up, and it looks like the recommended range is 195-205 for best flavor extraction. Corey might have even more insight on this, though.
I used a digital Maverick thermometer I have for my smoker, so I know it's been calibrated properly. At least I haven't had it too hot, making it bitter, but I'm going to try it a little hotter around 200 and see if I can tell a difference.
I believe a lot of the difference is in the coffee itself. I wanted to compare apples to apples, so the first day I tried it I made it exactly the same way I've made any of my other coffees. Hands down better than anything else I've tried, and not bitter at all. The smoke is what really sets it apart for me. It adds a lot to the flavor in a very unexpected way.

Well we still have some Honduras. I have two others that I am testing. Costa Rica and Tanzania. So far they are lookingreal good for a medium roast.Post office is usually the cheapest and easiest. I ship stuff to friends and family in Norway all the time, and that's how I do it.
I need to order more coffee as well. Last time I ordered Brazil, Honduras and Guatemala. My two favorites were Brazil and Honduras. Do you have any suggestions for other roasts, based on that?
