September’s Angels Cup comes from Queen City Coffee Roasters. The beans are a light roasted single origin from Huehuetenango, Guatemala.

Before I start with what I taste, I’m want to say that there is something wrong with my current Bodum grinder. When grinding these beans, the beans manage to stop the grinder from grinding resulting in a loud “clacking” noise due to the grinder clutch. The coffee grounds does not look like the normal expected espresso-like consistency for the particular setting. To be honest, it looks large enough for a pourover or a french press.

Making my latte, I taste light fruity flavors only. I’m both surprised at the lack of “coffee flavor” but also that the milk flavor is not present. Generally the lack of the earthy, nutty, coffee flavor usually means that the flavor of milk has overpowered. Perhaps thats the power of the light roast?
