@TomC gave me a special coffee last weekend while we were smoking cigars in the backyard and I pulled a shot today. Colombia Edinson Argote Gesha from Be Bright, despite the tasting notes on the bag it has a distinct peach flavor to it, it was roasted light enough to stall my Weber Key Mark I grinder at the slowest grind speed--I should have done a slower feed of beans into the hopper--and I loaded 20 grams of coffee into my Robot basked and managed to pull 50 ml of espresso, the recommended dose and ratio for this coffee. I had coarsened up the grind two minor notches and dialed the speed all the way down and luckily got a great shot; one shot, one kill.

I had just finished lunch, making my Wife and I egg salad sandwiches in the style of what you would find in Japanese 7-Eleven stores, my Wife became addicted to these on her trip to Tokyo this summer, and I finished my lunch with a juicy peach, which is probably cheating. Nevertheless, the shot clearly had strong notes of enjoyable peach flavor with a background of dank weed. I followed my shot with a peach KitKat that my Wife brought back from Japan, but I should have passed because I was enjoying the aftertaste from the espresso.

Picked 55 lbs of apples, half Gala and half Empire and have a large batch of apple sauce simmering. Some for the freezer and the rest will get cooked down to apple butter.
