Dry processed coffee tastes like Tropical Skittles? TackleTheWorld: Adam has a delightful duality of pointing out minute nuances, and eating it now because it's good enough. It's unpredictable whether the soup will need a chunky shave of pecorino for heterogeneity, or have tomato skins in it because I'm hungry now, dammit. I was hoping for the latter when I saw tropical skittles in the title, but it was the former and I usually can't afford the former.

I love ya Adam but I f cking hate coffee! Red bull has been invented. You no longer need to drink that f cking dirty dirt water. That's what it is dirt water! The world has moved on. Technology has advanced. You no longer have to travel by horse and buggy, you no longer have to light your home with candles and lanterns. And you no longer have to pretend like coffee tastes like anything other than F CKING COFFEE! Oohh I think I tastes some notes of chocolate! WHAT! You mean coffee? Same thing with wine. Those are 2 things I hate coffee and wine! Because everytime I drink them all I tastes is coffee and wine but everyone else around me is going oh I'm getting hints of vanilla and oak! What! What do you mean by oak? What does oak tastes like? As if that's a flavor oak! Whatever I'm getting off topic. The point is, drinking coffee with your morning breakfast instead of a redbull is like going to work in a horse and buggy instead of a regular car! It's obsolete!

An interesting point that you don't mention in this video is how different processes suit different brewing techniques. Of course, any coffee can be made with any technique, but in my opinion theres some distinct lines. For instance, I use natural or washed for my pour overs depending on if I'm looking for that specific acidity afforded by a washed process. However, I generally only use natural or honey process for my espresso machine. When the flavor of the coffee gets as concentrated as in an espresseo, the acidic notes of a washed process can become very overpowering while the fruity funky notes of a natural come out great. If you want to delve a little more into processes check out honey process (sort of a hybrid between washed and natural) and anaerobic process where the beans get fermented! Black and White roasters is making the best anaerobic right now in my opinion.

This really jives with the way I enjoy and experience fine foods/drinks like beer or whisky. People always talk about flavor notes and regions like they're the main factor determining how coffee tastes but it feels like a secondary factor at best to my (cynical) taste buds. This video makes more sense to me as somebody who makes beer as a hobby where the differences between beers are huge and usually come down to how the beer is processed (what cultivars of grains you use, how much hops you want, etc) instead of stuff like where the grain was grown. This video might actually make me try fancy coffee!

Ah, one of my favorite subjects. Notice how that lovely precious little bean we all love looks like a human brain? That can't be an accident! Adam, you've made me a worse coffee nerd than I was before. Now I'm on the quest for dry processed coffee beans. As an aside, my dad, an old timey Texas cowboy, used to put a chunk of cheddar cheese in the bottom of his coffee cup and poor hot, strong black coffee over it. I confess I've never tried it but he loved it

To me as a coffee lover, dry-processed coffee is a little bit like brett in wine: a little adds an interesting complexity (and gaminess, but too much is too much. Or perhaps not quite. Whereas a tiny amount of brett can be too much in wine, dry-processed coffee (or the honey-processed versions of, say, Costa Rica) is really addictive, a must-have in between the stylish, elegant wet-processed coffees (the Haut-Brion of coffee, as it were.

I absolutely love my local roasters' honey process coffee. Another interesting one I tried was anearobic process, which I think is like the honey but the pulp is left to ferment in an oxygen-free environment. It tastes fermenty, but not earthy, kind of in a winey sort of way. My favorite was still a red honey process from a costa rican farm, super rich and full bodied, almost sweet.

The ritual part was incredibly familiar, then I realised that I similarized it with the Turkish coffee. Turkish coffee is prepared by cooking the coffee dust in hot water, unlike processed coffee. Taste is intense, smell is fragrant, and consistancy is very thick. The only lacking point is the fruity aroma of the bean. Adam Ragusea can truly relate to every part of the World.

When I found the AeroPress my coffee prep journey was ended. Bought one for camping - came back from the trip and put the drip maker in the cabinet in case I ever need a larger volume.
My buddies are perfectly willing to wait for the AeroPress, which I can make 5 cups in the time it takes the drip to make a pot, so it is very dusty in the cabinet.

Ragusea could be a salesperson. I don't even drink coffee but I just ordered the 30 starter sampler pack because it seems so interesting!
Edit: apparently they roast it when you order is so no clue when it will get here but I'll update when it does! Shipping was only 3 USD so that's not bad.
