I'm a sucker for Ethiopians with pronounced characteristics. Gonna give this one a go.

91 point Kenya Kirinyaga newly in stock at Sweet Marias - this one will go fast. I just picked up 5lbs.
If you met me at the decent meetup serving shots out of the RV - you know how good this stuff can be

These Ecuador beans sound amazing. I will post in the exchange thread to see if anyone is interested in splitting a Jewel.

When you get roasting, share you experience here
Crown Jewel Roasting thread -Ecuador Pichincha Galo Morales Natural Typica & Sidra
I should take another crack in a week or so. These days, I'm on a 3 week roasting cycle.

These guys bunafr.com have some really good bean selection - I tried and loved their African, Geisha, and Costa Rica!

why are they literally twice as expensive as everyone else
also lol they claim all their coffees have "Cup of Excellence scores" and list high numbers and it's pretty clearly a lie, like a rando espresso blend is $15 a pound and has a "Cup of Excellence Score: 87" which is literally not how CoE works at all

I think that they're giving the score that they are coming up with using the Cup of Excellence scoring methodology. It's a number .olutheros wrote:also lol they claim all their coffees have "Cup of Excellence scores" and list high numbers and it's pretty clearly a lie, like a rando espresso blend is $15 a pound and has a "Cup of Excellence Score: 87" which is literally not how CoE works at all
FYI, here's the old (2001) CoE cupping form with instructions, courtesy Sweet Maria's (pdf link): https://library.sweetmarias.com/wp-cont ... ersion.pdf
(The current CoE form doesn't have instructions: https://cupofexcellence.shop/collection ... rm-digital )

yeah, it just strongly implies their coffees were actually judged in a CoE and got a score, and if you believed that were true you might actually think the prices were reasonable.
like their "signature blend" is an 89 and the Finca La Suiza gesha is also an 89 -- must be a great blend, it's $16 a pound and just as high-scoring as a 'stunning and rare' gesha!
i'm sure some of these coffees are good (since they're probably from the same importers as other places) but i feel like places like this make their money from selling at a huge markup to newer roasters, looks scummy
