Re: [MBZ] Robusta

I have an ancient cheapo that I rarely use. I don't have any robusta at the moment, pretty much all Guatemala and a few samples of Kenyan. Dark roast and made with a proper espresso machine give you very nice coffee, anything else and that robusta flavor is all you can taste. If you like it,

Your welcome, I still think about that every time I go to Italy. My weakness is Kimbo coffee, for making Italian café in a moka pot, which is a poor man's espresso. I bring back a few packages, each package lasts about a week. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC On August 5, 2019 5:38:31 PM EDT,

When we sold coffee, Jamaica Blue Mountain was the most rare/expensive (best?).  I never bought any because I didn't think our clientele would pay for enough of it to move the 5 lb min I had to buy.  I did some stuff for a Jamaican guy who sells toppings to Pizza Junk in FL and the SE for

Absolutely. And the youngest son makes his own formula of “crappacino” as well. Finally got around to putting a three pronged plug on it a few months ago. Decided that I needed to upgrade it from the 1960s. -D > On Aug 5, 2019, at 2:57 PM, Mountain Man via Mercedes > wrote: > > Another

[MBZ] Robusta

That is not the name of a W123 part - rather it is the name of a coffee bean, so this is off-topic. Most coffee is Arabica coffee. Has anyone here ever brewed Robusta? It is not a brew coffee, it is espresso, essentially, it seems. Does anyone have experience with this coffee bean? Robusta
