Talking coffee again
Are you going to torture me that you have the Olivo coffee??? I'm so jealous. I want some [our kids would flip if they saw coffee with their name on it, Mr. AE is an Olivo too].
Seriously though, if you haven't tried Cafe Santo Domingo Espresso [the package is colored black if I remember correctly], try a pack, it's as good as Monte Alto, and cheaper.
I have tried it, I Liked it!
My brother-in-law, and my sister-in-law are visiting his home in Spain this month.
He begged for two pounds of "Olivo" to take with him.
I reluctantly agreed!
I checked my "Stash", in a box beside my bed,this am.
Time to TRY and get my hands on a new shipment.
20 pounds this time!
Started with 5, went to 10, but it's NEVER ENOUGH!!!!!!!!

CCCCC, I'm LMAO at you hiding your stash of coffee near your bed!!!! I'd ask you to get me 10 pounds, and hold it until we get there in December, but I KNOW you'd drink it long before we arrive.
it will be gone because i am going to trade brugal for some of it! i shall join miesposo on one of his trips and take FULL ADVANTAGE of ccccccc. he'll be blinded by boobs and when i'm gone his stash will be nowhere to find either!
AE, if you decide to include NC in your itinerary then please come and visit us. i'll cook, miesposo will bake.

Understand that expresso is just highly roasted beans ground very fine.
Roasting changes the internay chemistry of coffee beans, like toasting barley/wheat/rice changes the chemistry and flavor of beer.
The roasting increases caffeine...but at the expense of increased acidity and bitterness. Much of the fruity flavors of the coffee are lost, but some people like the changes.

"dv", after reading "CB's" post about the soon to be unavailable, status of "Olivo Family" blend, I expect a LOT of "Brugal", AND, a long, slow, show, when you get here!
You should see what I have to do to get mine!!!

I think between me, JD and CCCC we'll take a good chunk of that harvest. Any way I can order a bunch in roasted beans to take home, in addition to the 10-15 pounds I'll need just for DR??
If I can get enough orders for beans at one time, maybe.
This is small batch roast. We do 100lbs. at a time with the best beans we have. The larger beans are late season beans.
My problem with the machine I have is that the coffee is weak tasting here.. In the states w/Maxwell etc. I never had that problem.. But here the Santo Domingo, Pilar etc. all taste weak, so I am looking for a stronger coffee to grind... I thought the "expresso" would be stronger but I hear I am wrong.....
What kind of machine are you using? I've had decent espresso out of Mr. Coffee machines, maybe you need to put in more coffee??
Do yourself a favor, and buy a greca or a french press, will make the world of difference.

Assuming the grind is fine enough, a properly loaded greca makes perfect espresso every time.
Here's a tutorial from a cocky boricua. Ignore his plugging of Bustelo(any brand of finely ground dark roasted works).

I have a Saeco Coffee Magic.... Spoiled as I just push a button and it brews a cup of coffee.... I also have a french press I used to use and still have it with me..... Thanks for the video's... My apt. came with a Greca....
