Hey, coffee lovers, how are you?
It’s been some time since I last wrote here, but there really wasnt anything interesting around me and my coffee experiences.

I remember that recently there was a topic in the coffee conversation about coffee canisters and I wrote that my desire was to buy a special vacuum jar. Well… here it is!

On the market there are various battery driven electric pump canisters, but they are expenssive. I found this one (which holds approx. 270-280 grams of beans) and it cost me just about 6 euros. My only regret is that I didn’t take the bigger one for 1 more euro. It would hold at least 350 grams of beans!

The canister works perfectly simple. You put the lid tightly and then press the big button 5-10 times, intil all the air is pumped out of the jar. This leaves the beans in (almost) oxygen free environment. This prevents the beans from oxidation and they stay fresh for longer period of time.

And when you need your coffee, you just press the little button which opens the valve and lets you open the lid.

Of course, mist of the bags that coffee comes in, have these CO2 valves, but I need something that will keep the coffee freeh when I buy larger, 1 kg bags. And this became a common purchase in the last months.

But… now about the coffee itself.

My latest purchase of coffee from my local roastery turned out to be of almost 100% espresso beans, but we tend to enjoy filter coffee quite often. This made me visit our specialty coffee cafe, searching a handful of nice filter roasted beans.

The Casino Mocca roastery is located in Hungary and I think it is the first time I experience beans roasted there. My friend Misho let me try the aroma of this coffee before I buy it and it left a really fresh first impression on me.

The beans arent the lightest, but they seem fairly light roasted, a little bit towards the medium, but seemingly perfect for V60.

When I opened the bag, I instantly felt the dessert like vanilla aromas. Like an exquisite alcohol, matured in oak barrels. This was an interesting aroma, having in mind that this coffee was not fermented or barrel aged, or something… this of course is due to the slight fermentation which occurs during the natural processing of the coffee.

And… let’s prepare this filter! Of course, I am grinding manual! There are not many grinders that can beat the Chinese Timemore. Fast and easy!

I did not expect something that special, but for the price of these beans they should be quite good. The promises of watermelon, honeydew and rum walnut (whatever is this) seem quite extraordinary. But we’ll see if it’s gonna be fulfilled.

88-89 degrees centigrade for this Light to Medium Light roast are more than perfect, in my opinion. In leas than 4 minutes my coffee will be waiting me in my cup!

I really cannot catch the particular watermelon vibes, but it is really fruity and fresh! As I already mentioned, it also posesses fermented fruit nuances.

Overal I have a hoghly positive attitude towards this coffee. It was balanced, sweet and flavorful, without any unwanted flavors and harshness. I don’t like the design of the bags that much, but they are okay. At least the color combination is interesting.

Definitely a great pick and a tasty experience!

That’s for today! See you soon and have a beautiful week!
Bye!
