Baratza virtuoso grinder,
hario v60 pour over dripper,
unbleached filters,

I'm partial to beans form guatemala myself.

whatever coffee you prefer it's hard to beat preparing it in a traditional Italian espresso maker. Bialetti is the most popular maker lately, I have an older Morenita model that brews about 20oz per batch. Because I pack the coffee hopper full it's quite stout and so I usually prepare it 'Americano' style by adding water, a 50/50 mix.

Served straight up @ the table in the maker most Italian restaurants used to consider this their espresso offering leaving the pot for the patrons to pour from, each maker's constructed of thick aluminum (some newer stainless models available too) and would hold their heat for 2nd/3rd pourings.




Now of course you get a single cup after supper prepped with a.......

This is absolutely true. Real life examples are root beer and black licorice--I can't stand either. I love cilantro. Yet my sisters both love root beer and black licorice, and one of them can't stand cilantro.

What other beans have you tried, and what is it about the Blue Mountain flavor profile that you like? What roast do you take it to?

I'm very particular, I can't stand any kind of ashy taste (hello Starbucks!), our any kind of fruity or sour taste in my coffee. As you also know, the roast can make a huge difference, we had a batch of Guatemalan beans that at a medium roast were nutty, caramelish, and rich, but at a darker roast (unusual) became flowery to the point of tasting like a tea, and had a distinct sour flavor along with the flowery/fruity flavors.
