I used to work for an Egyptian woman and she’d make me a cup of Arabic coffee with a spoonful of sugar but also a spoonful of ginger. I was really hesitant about the idea of ginger in coffee but it was delicious

APPLYING FOR MY 1ST JOB WHICH IS A BARISTA JOB

[@Hames8]

Have you tried adding powdered milk to milk rather than freeze distilling? This should theoretically be as good as freeze distilling, as the process of powdering has very minimal impact on the flavor. I honestly think this should be considered as freezing, thawing, and throwing away half of the diluted milk (I mean what else are you going to do with bad tasting milk?), is incredibly wasteful. In my testing, 45g of milk powder dissolved well in 1L of cold milk with heavy shaking.

[@Luckycatzassosiation]

@@Hames8 ooh imma use this

[@Hames8]

@@Luckycatzassosiation Be sure to purchase powdered whole milk. There are plenty of products that doesn't use whole milk (non-fat, other non-dairy products mixed in, etc). Those, I imagine, will taste horribly.

[@velvetvert9431]

Do you feel that Eugenoides is going to be so on trend that you'll see a lot of your competitors using it? Or do you expect to stand out? When you were planning your routine was it more about what matters to you, or do you also take into account what you might be up against?

[@throwdowninolytown]

[@XanBos]

Really informative, as I only knew of Arabica and Columbia beans. If this third type of coffee is as you described, I surely would love to try it! The closest I come to doing anything espresso, is through my moka pot, which I just got a few months ago. I’m buying most of my beans through a beanery coffee shop, where they create wonderful coffee blends, and have expanded their operations. Until recently, was content to buy the popular commercial brands of coffee. But after trying a couple of different brands and blends, I have found that the commercial heavyweights are too bitter, sometimes rancid, and just unpleasant. Now I strive to grind my own beans (which I just did before watching your video) and select better coffees. Since finding your channel, I keep coming back to see what else I may have been missing! I’m rooting for you in the competition!

[@matthewwilson9749]

I think one of the first coffees I got on my Trade subscription was a eugenioides variety (Gimme! Angel BBs). I was surprised by the tiny beans, I the espresso I got out of it was very sweet. I think it's my favorite coffee so far from my subscription. Best of luck at competition, Morgan!

[@matthewmain8402]

I wonder if a blend of Eugenioides beans with either Arabica or Robusta would be something good to try. Maybe there is a way to get both the bolder flavors from typical espresso along with the sweet fruitiness from the Eugenioides. I think this would be something fun to experiment with.

[@GoTellJesusSaves]

Is it wise to reveal exactly what you're planning to do before the competition? Or does the menu have to be locked in, in advance of the meet? I always felt it was better to not let a competitor know how you think.

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

Good question! This competition is very individual and the planning is super time-intensive so sharing what I’m doing doesn’t impact anyone else. I think it’s super fun to share the process and honestly, if other competitors can find helpful pieces in what I’m doing, then I’m all for that! Everyone’s routines are so personalized and planned out that nothing is really going to change, especially this close to the competition. Hope that makes sense!

2:43 home front-loading washing machines are a national disaster. They tend to stink. They all have a clean-out near the pump, typically behind the bottom panel, although some of them make it more visible. Many people don't know about the cleanout and the odor can get so bad it can fill the entire house with stink. Missing small jewelry? Check the filter on your front-loader. The front-loader debacle is why Costco (for example) sells top loaders now.

Hey Morgan, I have a couple of questions for you. How long do coffee beans stay fresh in an unopened bag? How do you make a Mocha Latte at home? I don't have a fancy coffee machine, just a drip machine that I got at a local store. I'm kinda confused about the difference between mocha Latte and Cafe Mocha? Can you please explain them to me. Thanks 🙂

[@ashabbink3932]

James Hoffman made a video about how long different beans stay fresh! Long story short, it depends on a bunch of different factors, like the roast level and whether the coffee was nitrogen flushed in its bag. As for the difference between mocha latte and cafe mocha, I'd hazard a guess that the difference is in the amount of milk and how much of it is steamed to foam as opposed to just heated

Superinteresting hearing about that first coffee as a species. Curious if all the practice and the future competition will be from the same batch of coffee? Would that an important aspect? Is it a consideration if they aren't?

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

So during practice, we find the “sweet spot” for each coffee (roast profile, days off roast, etc) then we try to replicate that as close as possible during the competition. There’s always some very minor variation that happens but for the most part, the coffee will taste nearly the exact same as the roast that I’m practicing with
