I decided a bit back that I was going to go back through and scan, then post some stuff from my old coffee journals. They will be everything that seems a bit interesting, from sketched of diagrams for the roaster, to diagrams of tastes (I have been diagraming out how I wanted certain coffees to taste based on my initial cuppings or intention with it—like espresso), to attempts to organize, segment and otherwise understand the roast process. I have a lot of those. Some make no sense, though I bet they did at the time I drew them.So here is the first post, a drawing that I did while I was pulling (a lot) of shots of various origins to figure out the blend and roast profile for an espresso (I eventually called it Loam). I am pretty sure that at the time I drew this image, I was simply pulling shots from as many different origins as I could—whatever I had on hand and could get samples of at the time. This one was Sumatra Mandheling (PWN Fancy Select). I did end up using it in the final blend.
