Coffee Blends

[why1504]

Any coffee blenders here? I often experiment with different blends. I have forund that some coffee's blend well some don't. Blending a less expensive bean with a more expensive bean will bring up the quality of the flavor. My go to blend is a mix of Costa Rican Tarrazu and Kenya AA (equal amounts). I have found that these 2 high end beans really complement each other. I really like blending African beans with beans I don't care for. A few years ago I got some Brazilian I really did not like. When I mixed it with Ethiopian it was great. Any other blends out there?

I've always liked blending Kenyan AA with Sumatran or Celebes. It kinda brings the Indonesians up out of the mud and puts a bit of temper on the Kenyans brightness.

I'm an espresso blender; I try to get it right and keep it right for a houseful of critics. This appears impossible. My goal for CY2006 will be "possible blending".

Good luck buddy. I do a Kenya French Roast and many cheer but the wife refuses to drink it. Kona Peabody @ Full City and she is happy but no one else. Try my blend above, I have yet to have anyone hate it and it works well as an espresso coffee. If fact I had a non coffee drinker offer me what he thought was the ultimate complement, "This is as good as Starbucks!" I let him down easy and suggested he take a cup of my coffee and a cup of starbucks and do a side my side. He did, when he came back he asked me why mine wasn't bitter?
