My own kawvee du jour is simple --french press of the Colombia Fiesta natural and the Mexico Altura Chiapas. A solid base coffee (Colombia natural) blends with anything else, including some of the more exotic high-flavor beans like the Yemen Harrar.

You said something about a honey based coffee?

Missouri...or the state of Misery.
Recipes please for the melon and orchard?

It's one recipe (named Orchard Melon)...I'll shoot it to you unless you wanna wait to see if I can bring the flavoring totals down a little more (and send you a sample to see if you'll like it). Right now it's at 12% flavoring I think...I wanna get it down to around 6% if it'll still taste about the same.

Update on my wife. I mixed up some Bold tobacco at 5%. 75%VG, 18mg nic. Had her test it in a dripper, made a couple of adjustments, and she liked it. Asked her if she wanted me to load up the tank, and she said nah, I'll use this. She used my 454 Big Block rda on a Presa75w, all night.
Felt like I had slipped through a dimensional warp, and ended up in Bizarro World.

"Honey" actual describes how the beans are processed. Honey process has the beans dried with the skin removed but the fruit pulp still attached. Natural processed has the whole fruit dried (with skin), then the skin and pulp are stripped mechanically.

The Fiesta sample I sent out was honey process. The new 4lb batch I got in last Friday, what I've been drinking this week, was natural process.

I found the Colombia honey process beans a fruitier taste than the Colombia natural process, which I really think of as classic kawvee. They both come from the same farm, are the same basic bean, the processing simply resulted on two different results.

My new order, the El Salvador, are washed process, yet another approach, the same as used on the Nic San Jose. The notes for the El Salvador are floral aroma, dark chocolate, syrupy, compared to the Nic being dark chocolate, caramel, orange acidity. The el Salvador should arrive Saturday, I'll likely do first roasts Sunday of it. (looking too junky weather-wise for camp)

For the females in the group, I got a question: How in Gods green earth do you all get away with everything? One look and most guys just give in!!! It is that sweet doey eyed look and we just try to look the other way, helpless in its gaze. We males try that, an the women are like nope, nice try!! The crap of it is that we know the real you!! Innocent, do not make me laugh!!!

(Ducks in a corner to avoid the gaze and the objects being thrown.)

Good morning Krewe!! Happy Friday Eve.

Goddess Kodak, has your friend received her Luggy yet? Is she successfully giving up her cigarette addiction? Any struggles? Sorry to be nosy, I just feel like I have one "In Utero" out there, and I'm hoping for an ultrasound.. :) Wanna feel it kicking.

Seriously considering getting that for the misses.

I REALLY like it so far. I've not read the manual yet, but was able to flip it into TC mode for the tank I'm running right now. Still have a bit of play to do. I also have the Kanger Dripbox. I want to wash out the bottles before I load it up. Also want to try with one of my Velocities before I play with the RDA that came with.
