The 12th giveaway is Kenya Muchagara "This microlot comes from the Muchagara factory. Muchagara is a Kikuyu name for one of the villages in the Kirinyaga region of Kenya. The factory was opened in 1959 and is used by nearly 500 members of the Baragwi co-op. The co-op has been focused on producing quality coffee since 1953 to promote  the social economic interests of its members, processing and exporting coffee and access to better markets. A mix of SL-28 and SL-34 varieties, and grown between 1,700 – 1,800 masl, this coffee is dynamic and light-bodied at the same time. Bold acidic notes of lemonade appear upfront followed by the light sweetness of tropical fruits such as mango and coconut, and the clean, sweet finish rounds out an extremely pleasant coffee experience."

Our backup settle 270w showed error 0.0 on the screen one day and just stopped working. I looked online and the problem was that the gearbox is stuck in the wrong position when turning off. The solution suggested was to change the gearbox. But I'm out of warranty. Then I thought what if I help the gearbox move a little and maybe it'll be at the right position and work again. So I took everything apart and moved the outer ring of the burr a little. Put everything back together, plug in power and it works again! #vancouver #vancouverbc #coffeeshop #coffee #specialtycoffee #burnabybc #burnaby #espresso #baratzasette #sette270w

The 11th giveaway is Ethiopia Reko. "Coffee is all about relationships, and this year we’re excited to partner with a company doing great things in East Africa, Trabocca BV. Charles first worked with Trabocca during his time in Ethiopia, while at the non-profit, TechnoServe. Trabocca was an early supporter of the TechnoServe East Africa Coffee Initiative, a program that raised incomes for more than 100,000 coffee farmers across East Africa. Since then Trabocca has continued to invest in its Ethiopian value chain, and the Ethiopian Cup auction they host annually is a great example of the benefits that accrue to farmers who focus on quality. Coffee from the Reko Washing Station in Kochere exemplifies what we look for in great Ethiopian Yirgs. The cup opens with bright notes of rainier cherry, transitions into a ripe red grape sweetness, and ends with a clean, buttery smooth finish." The winner from last draw is @riniverse congratulations!

For the love of coffee

When I was young, my grandma would make coffee from 3-in-1 packets and let me drink a little from her cup.

After I got older, I continued to drink coffee like everyone else.

During a trip I took with my wife to Japan. We saw black coffee brewed with so much care it was artistic. It had taste of caramel sweetness and mix berries that we fell in love with the world of specialty coffee.

Coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee plant. The unroasted green beans has a strong grassy flavour and through roasting the coffee taste that everyone knows is brought out.

High quality specialty coffee when roasted skillfully, can bring out other major flavour of sour, sweet, and salty.

Scientists believe there are at least 1000 substances in coffee, and currently 850 chemical compounds have been identified. One third of those are fragrances, this complexity is far greater than red wine, chocolate and coco. So coffee could be considered the most complex beverage.
