If I do end up brewing my coffee these days, I use about 18~20g for a cup (which is around 300ml for me).
On that note, I'm currently looking for some new beans to try. I was getting beans from Ark Coffee before as they were right where we lived, but now looking to try some more. Heard from a mate that's been a barista for quite a while, that they like Red Rabbit for their specialty coffees.
Looking for something quite fruity/acidic, and one thats quite hearty?/earthy? not too sure what to call it.
It’s been a long time since I had it, but I remember one of the Peoples Coffee varieties was quite fruity. I think it was the Guatemalan Huhuetenango
Ahh yes, have had people recommend them a few times - might need to give them a go as well.
I’m an instant drinker now, but I found single origin beans had more distinct flavours than blends, downside is they cost a bit more.
I use Mackenzie beans in my cafe these days - big fan of their Mainland blend - rich, round, mellow, very easy to drink, and we get lots of compliments too!
When I just looked them up on google, I first went into McKenzies Foods' website, and i was wondering where the coffee beans were amongst all the peas and lentils etc lol.
Interesting - I'd never heard of them until now. Will have to put them into the list as well :)
Oh hahah, didn't realise there was a similar brand name, oops!
Ah, that seems proportionately similar to what I use for a cup of non-decaf.
I'm no coffee connoisseur so can't really recommend anything to your specifications (hopefully someone else can), but the bourbon aged coffee is still in stock if you're looking to try something a little different.
Does it actually end up tasting quite a bit like bourbon? I've become (especially in recent times) a bit distant from alcohol (especially spirits), so not 100% on the bourbon taste haha
If you don't like bourbon, you probably won't like it. It does come through in the flavour. Though it's not super strong. You can definitely smell the bourbon though, I wouldn't drink it at work 😆
