I can't remember the last time I had straight robusta, but with its growing popularity in specialty coffee has me interested. Originally, or traditionally, robusta is used as a blend component in espresso blends with arabica beans since they produce a thicker crema, and heavier body than other coffee species. But today, we're going to see how robusta can perform as a solo act.

Try this as traditional Vietnamese iced coffee, about 40g output over 15g sweetened condensed milk, mix and pour over a chilled cup of crushed ice. Everyone seems to think the only way to do VN coffee is with a Phin, but most shops actually make it on espresso machines now.

@Sprometheus 5 месяцев назад

Oh yeah, when I worked in a cafe we used to make our Vietnamese coffee that way and it’s so good. I don’t have condensed milk at the moment, but maybe I’ll pick some up this weekend because with the weather getting warming those hit just right in the afternoon.

Glad to see Vietnam represented! I've lived here since 2016. When I first moved here they really had nothing in terms of specialty coffee. Lots of programs have happened to help farmers improve their crop and now we are seeing some lower to mid 80s washed and natural Arabica and some high 80's robusta. The best coffee I've had from Vietnam was a few weeks ago. It was a specialty robusta that scored 87pts. It was unbelievable!

@_Brewn 5 месяцев назад

I'm really not a fan of robusta, I've tried specialty robusta before but I always find that the taste is so overwhelming and so strong. That makes it tiring to drink. But this packaging is just amazing! The cardboard is great, the bag is super awesome, you really get a lot! And the ground coffee of the 01 looks so soft and fluffy that you want to lie in it 😄

@Sprometheus 5 месяцев назад

Yeah I have to say I don’t think this one I’d ever crave. It’s like this oddly familiar thing, but it just performs and tastes so different. In the end for me it’s the crema and texture that makes this experience pleasant, not so much the flavor.

@Caffeine.And.Carvings 5 месяцев назад

I noticed that here in germany as well. We have a chain (roaster and cafe) that i would consider for the average coffee drinker. Like, 95% overroasted beans that taste like normal supermarket coffee. Went shopping with a friend to find him new coffee, and he wanted to buy on the chesper end. Went for that chain, got a Sicilian espresso, and had a taste. So rich and creamy and sweet. I was blown away. Even more dumbfounded i was when i saw that it was a 100% specialty robusta. 1kg/25€ (so quite affordable). Since than i have it in my roatation as well. What i like about the fact is, that robusta is easier to farm, more resitant agains harmfull pests and fungi, hence more suited for the growing demand. Smart move by the farmers

@daniel.lopresti 5 месяцев назад

Would you mind saying the name of the chain and coffee? I live in neighbouring Belgium but I've been looking to go back to more traditional coffee for espresso but it's hard to find within specialty circles. The biggest problem with that is getting freshly roasted beans. Thanks!

The ristretto profile is perfect for milk drinks but should be a double of 18-19 gm with 22-25 out. I know this is heresy but I use a whirly bird milk frother (Instant brand) with whole milk and it works beautifully. The milk is thick and is poured almost immediately after the shot ends. A sugar doser available on Amazon allows precise dosing so I add a half teaspoon. What a great way to start the day. Almost impossible not to have another before leaving to fight the dragons.

@Dus3826 5 месяцев назад

The Decent is your favourite currently ? :) Just took the Micra instead of the Decent 😀

@daniel635biturbo 5 месяцев назад

Amazingly, you keep leveling up the cinematography, very well done ! I've never tried a single origin Robusta, but however, as a component in Decaf espresso blends, I like it. It's nice to be able to have a Cappuchino in the evening, and the Robusta content levels up the creaminess and texture, and also makes the decaf easier to extract. 100% arabica Decaf is really hard, I think my grinder is on the cheap / small side for that.

@littvay 5 месяцев назад

When my father was visiting Hawaii from Europe, I asked the people at Paradise Roasters how many of their fine robusta subscriptions (I understand they should not be called specialty) could they send to their hotel on the dates of their visit. They did 5 and three were totally freshly roasted. It was an amazing journey I managed to share with many coffee enthusiasts in Hungary. I would highly recommend the journey to everyone. I think these Fine Robusta formers are sitting on something very special and we can have not only climate resistant varieties but also more flavors.

@6Deep6 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. I've been watching your "Decent" journey since you got it and am keen to hear your comments on it, based on your personal love for the GS3. As an aside, that coffee roaster wins the award for most wasteful packaging. I think as coffee consumers, we need to consider the packaging as part of the product and do our part to alleviate the global plastic problems. In New Zealand, I made the effort last year to find good coffee that had environmentally friendly packaging and it was very very hard to find. It made me realize that's because no one cares about it enough to force roasters to change. We as coffee consumer collective need to do better on product selection with the packaging being considered.

@dr7246 5 месяцев назад

One hopes that robusta will find its farmed footing in a way similar to grapes such as Carignan, which as recently as 20 years ago were looked down on and now make wonderful, and highly regarded wines, when farmed and vinified with proper care

@Sprometheus 5 месяцев назад

I’d like to see it absolutely make its way into blends again, there’s still some time needed to get them on a single origin realm, at least for me. But also they’re more resilient to temperature so they grow easier which has become a big issue with arabica with the changing climate.

Great insight working with robusta. It would really be interesting to take some of this robusta and blend it with a good 100% arabica medium roast, and see what one can come up with. I surmise that most of the Italian coffee roasters already do this, and souce robusta from Viet Nam.

@Sprometheus 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely. Classic Italian espresso has a robusta blend component for that texture and crema, and I would love to see it be implemented into a modern blend.

Since my Descent is against the wall I don't keep the back plate on, which allows me to refill water and turn off the power quicker, as I tend to travel a lot for work I purge the water and power off the machine before each of my work trips. Also, I've found I can fill to about the top 1/8" on the water if I am careful when pushing the water back into the machine.

I noticed in your burr cleaning the retention is only on one side of the burr actually appears the burr carrier has the burr set deeper on that side whereas the burr sits higher on the clean side... perhaps it isn't seated flush or level across the face of the burr? carrier maybe holding the burr at an angle or out of spec? it seems the grinds get stuck where the lip of the carrier sticks up higher than the deepest cut in the burr. I get absolutely no retention in my P100.

@Sprometheus 5 месяцев назад

Thank you I appreciate the kind words. And yeah, I think it all comes down to what you’re looking to achieve. I will say the grass is rarely greener as machines get more expensive. Meaning, espresso doesn’t necessarily get better. With the Decent you cab do nearly anything any other machine can, and that’s a huge plus. But I will say, even after months of decent ownership it still feels charmless. It’s cold, robotic, and has little character or style. And I think as you think about upgrading think about balancing capabilities and character. That’s just my two cents. But I did sell my GS3, and soon my Lelit leaving me with just the decent…for now.

I tried specialty robustas in Vietnam last year, it's a no for me… Coffee culture there is amazing and fascinating to observe, but most of the coffees served there (not labeled as specialty) are just crap and it basically has to be for the pricepoint they sell it. The specialty stuff gets priced at a real premium (sometimes outdoing pricing in Europe) which I can kind of imagine for imported stuff (interestingly, they also have coffees from Laos and Thailand there), but I'd expected their native specialty coffees to be cheaper but did not really found that to be the case.
