Can someone recommend a good drip blend from my stash list below? My wife wants something to put in a few gift boxes for work. Of course she needs it to day!
Thanks Randy

Hi Randy,
Today we are drinking a 50-50 blend of Costa Rican with Ethiopian and they seem to compliment each other very nicely. If you ask me, the Yemen is awesome alone but maybe a little rare to give as gifts to the unitiated.
Probably ANY fresh-roasted coffee will be a treat for your friends. :-))
Sure thing Randy, I post blended, because these are good as SO as well. I'd say I pulled the beans just as second crack got rolling, the Costa Rican went a few extra seconds. Both batches are FC+ and just spotting with oil on the second rest day.

Brazil FC+/Vienna 20%, Sulawesi Vienna, Harrar FC 25-30% Brazil Vienna 20%, Harrar FC++ 80% Brazil Uganda Coasta Rican 25% or less
I'm not famililar with Yemen or Nuggests but I know others can suggest of bunch with those.
Woops I posted espresso blends since we're in the espresso forum.
For drip Sulawesi and Harrar. Brazil 30%, Columbian 60% really nice crowd pleaser. Sumatra and Costa Rican if you like French Roast. ? Panama nice by itself.
Harrar at FC and darker? How do you roast your beans? I just have an air popper, and I've lost 90% of the fruit character of Harrar when I go darker than City.

I normally roast for espresso in my i-Roast so I tend to roast to Full City +. The few times I’ve sampled my roasts in a vac pot or press I haven’t been that impressed so far. I need to try some roasts at the City + level.
