Decaf Project

[vivdunstan]

Starting our week of decaf coffee taste testing with James Hoffmann's Decaf Project. Have our beans (natural + 3 types of decaf processing, all same coffee originally) ready from an Aberdeenshire roaster. And going to be trying over 4 nights. Big YouTube live video on Sunday. We're going to make my usual style of coffee with our Hario Switch machine. And because we have a spare backup Hario Switch (!), that will be in operation beside it, making a coffee for Martin too. Who rarely drinks coffee, but is keen to take part in this decaf tasting. We are starting with the natural caffeinated beans, then working through Swiss Water, Ethyl Acetate and CO2 decaffeinated versions. Aiming to be done by Friday, one way or another!

Sounds like an interesting taste test! But you really need to find a way to make it a blind test for at least one of you....

The bigger challenge is we're drinking it over 4 nights, and need to remember tastes from night to night! However Martin's memory is so bad he won't have a clue what we're drinking by the time he sits down :) I am making notes each night, but he isn't.
