The actual flavour of bubble gum is completely disgusting to me...so I was a little wary when I dropped by Regent Coffee in Glendale and they suggested these beans as an alternative to the Sucré blend that I love from them, which they were temporarily out of.
These were glorious, I have to say. The flavour notes are passion fruit, watermelon, strawberry and dark chocolate. I generally prefer blends that lean into the caramel/chocolate world as opposed to fruity, lighter profiles - but this is a nice middle ground (no pun intended). Regent does some very interesting things with their roasts - including a bunch of bourbon barrel-aged beans...but even their standard blends are really great.

Kudos on taking one for the team. The name alone would have turned me off as well.
The barista assured me it would not taste like bubble gum, so it wasn't blind confidence, but still...

Well that's a relief. But just from an advertising point of view, I bet a lot of people get turned off without even trying it.

It's a shame really. They just don't make minions like they used to.

Made a little short of the end of a coffee roasting session with my SRS800 with extention tube. Hope you enjoy . Extention tube is a must in my opinion, doubles amount you can do and easier to see and control roast level. Link to YouTube channel go to shorts to see BrisketGuy

Had a problem with this coffee ftom Good Brother's. After asking the owner a few questions and recommendation on how to brew it. Still didn't quite fixed it. Did a little deeper research on how it's processing worked. It's a natural anaerobic fermented coffee using yeast innoculation method to modify it's flavors. So it's actually a double cofermented coffee. So that makes it a funky type coffee. For brewing it do not use high agitation brew method. Only low agitation brew methods . Here's how Brent said would work the best water temperature 97c. Brew time under 3 minutes. What fixed it the most. My Normcore flat burr hand grinder has high clarity burr set in it. So it basically separate everything including the yeast fermentation process as a tasting note giving it a severe bitter aftertaste. So had to switch to my Saint Anthony Milwright hand grinder with conventional conical burr set to fix it. Do not use high clarity burr Grinders with this 1.
Sucessful brew was as folllows:
Water 96c
Coffee 15 grams
Water 255
45 gram bloom 40 seconds
1 pour for rest of water.
Total brew time 3:12
Tasted pretty good maybe 3 clicks coarser might make notes a little brighter. Think the fruit note may be passion fruit. Anyways taste is pretty awesome

Okay, so just made a double espresso using the standard aeropress method with some pre-ground Cafe Morro from Aldi. Clearly I need to tinker a little bit but the method was easy enough. Didn't have quite the taste that I was expecting compared to mokka pot coffee, but aeropress was faster. I also did not go full geek and weigh out the coffee and water etc. I just followed the basic directions for the aeropress.
I'm going to do a little research and maybe make an Americano tomorrow with some coffee that I grind myself. I'll also look into the inverted brewing method. And of course, weigh things out next time.
For the price though, not a bad purchase so far.

You might want to try it. All the cool kids are doing it.
Could you imagine how complicated it would make things at work? I would need to stock demitasse spoons and source fresh biscotti.You might want to try it. All the cool kids are doing it.

Life's too short and I have a good biscotti recipe. But you're on your own for the demitasse spoons.
