Continuing on with tasting my gift coffees is a Maui Mokka. Still pretty light, but quite a bit darker than yesterday's Mexican coffee (which read at almost an 80). This one came in at 51.5/62.2. I tasted this brewed with the lab water at the event so it'll be interesting to taste what kind of differences I observe using my water.

As expected of a Mokka, really small seeds. I have raw coffee that's larger than some of these, but of course larger seeds don't correlate all that strongly with anything on flavor, though they can present some challenges in some roasting machines.

Not much difference in how this performs with my water v. specially formulated lab water. No surprise there as Racine has award winning (yes, there are awards for this) city tap water that's nearly ideal for coffee brewing and my filters don't need replacing yet.

Anyway, it's hitting all the notes listed on the bag (smooth, rich, chocolatey flavor, vanilla, caramel, and honey aromas) and there aren't any negative detractors. Overall, a well executed and enjoyable coffee. Good job.
