Had lunch at my favorite coffee shop yesterday. They invited me to join a little tasting at the back. We previewed a new roast they are working on and a couple of fancy-pants beans.

A few weeks ago, my wife ran an idea by me for the kids - dance class for the girl, Swedish school for the boy, both on the same morning. Dance class is in the southern 'burbs, Swedish is in the middle of the metro, our house is somewhere in between.
The route would have to be:
The route would have to be:
- Drop off for Dance
- Drop off for Swedish
- Head straight back to pick up at Dance (~1 hour course)
- Go home to kill a 45 min
- Pick up from Swedish
- Home

Stiff winds for the morning ride, but it sure is nice when you plan on fighting in to the headwind and sailing back with a tailwind... and it actually works.
Between a mechanical earlier in the week and the family schedule, I don't have a prayer of making the mileage podium... but I've got the King of Pain average speed locked down with 20.5 for the week

I wonder if they're engineering beans in the lab these days so they don't have to wait for them to actually grow.

I’ll claim King of the Couch.
I can’t even get on a bike right now. Can barely put on my shorts.

There are different varieties of beans grown in different regions, under different conditions (altitude being a big factor) and that undergo different manners of processing to emphasize desired characteristics: in addition to the common washed, dry/natural, and wet-hulled methods, "honey" processing is becoming more popular and there are folks experimenting with stuff like anaerobic fermentation.
FWIW, lately I've been in to medium roasts (but would have been considered a light roast, 'specially for espresso, a short time ago) of dry processed beans from moderate altitudes that are smooth, sweet and notably berry-forward.

Unfortunately, the only wife beater I own is my waffle weave, technical base layer.

Geez, fer someone that recently made a declaration about the only way to brew, you're sure not up to date on your beans and processing, are ya?

Nice! One of my local roasters does a natural process Sidama that can be very strawberry - I think the aim was immersion/drip, but I think it makes a really nice espresso, too.

I had a fun ride, started with 11 and one guy and his wife dropped out before the hills. Had a flat and my inflator blew apart, 3rd one, 2 different brands.
Some guy I never met gave me a cartridge and inflator and wouldn't take a replacement cartridge when we finished. Nice guy. I did have a mini pump but happy to not use it.
100 degrees when I got home, so it worked out. Didn't really notice too much heat on the bike. Glad I stayed close to home.
