Drip blends recipes

[Cblake]

I would like to make a drip blend of beans, But have no idea where to start.
Is anyone willing to share some knowledge.
Any advise will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

What beans are you working with?

I like to combine a bright top note with a solid mid and a deep bottom. (Yirgacheffe, guatemalan and sumatran.)

A bright top with a dark mid and deep bottom also works for me. (Costa Rican, dark peruvian and sumatran)

I alos like to blend a nicaraguan with guatemalan.

Or a guatemalan with a sumatran.....

how dark do you roast when you blend...

 

[eldub]

I roast before blending. Imo, we get a more complex result by combining beans roasted to different levels.

Cool... I was doing Yargacheffee, Sumatra, and Colombian 40-40-20

CJ: Thanks. We just got in a bag of Colombian. I'ma try that blend you mention above, asap.

Thanks for the information. I was trying to make a drip blend in a full city roast.

That blend is from one of the online coffee roasting company recipe. They sell over 1000kg a week of that blend.... Crazy...

I am open to beans. That's why am asking before I buy bags of beans. Here is what I can get local

Colombia
Nicaraguan
Mexican
Costa Rican
Tanzanian
Kona 11.00 (negotiable)
El Salvador 2.10
Sumatra
Peru
Kenya
Brazil
Ethiopian

I would buy Sumatra, Ethiopian, Costa Rican, Colombian, and if you can get Kenya but all depends on the price you can get them for....

CJ: A similar blend to the one you mentioned above that we also do well with is Yirgacheffe, Guatemalan and Sumatran.
