Did some product development cupping with a new coffee from Costa Rica today. This is from the same farm as I usually buy from, but instead of starting out on the patio and then moving to the guardiolas, this one is fully sun-dried and there's a huge difference in the available sweetness. I've roasted test batches of a medium and a dark roast, but I'd like to explore the light roast potential of this one a little farther.
My mother wants me to help her buy a new computer tonight. Back when it was her job she was a hardcore Excel junkie and after retirement she immediately reverted to "how do I close a window?" Will try to get her to look very hard at the Macs because they come pre-loaded with software for just about all of her use cases and that will make things easier on me.
