What's your favorite bizarre/unusual coffee term?
I've had the word "Bucaramanga" stuck in my head for a week now. What's stuck in yours?

One of my all time favorites is India Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold. Currently have an Organic Sumatra Mandheling Rimbun Putra that makes me chuckle too.

I like the word Pergamino, it refers to green cofee beans that have not been milled and still retain their outer covering of parchment like skin. They are also referred to as "Parchment" coffee!
Another bit of coffee terminology I like is the term "Sultan" coffee, it refers to green coffee beans that still retain some of the coffee cherry attached to the seed. The coffee cherry provides some natural sweetness. I believe that this type of coffee is only pan roasted in a few arab countires. I do not think it can make it through a standard roasting machine.
My favorite use of coffee terminology happens to be the oldest coffee blend name known to mankind, Mocha-Java 8-)

Yep... that's about right. All machines have some benefits and fans, or else they wouldn't be in business.
For a fast paced drive-thru, I'd say make sure it is a big boiler and quick steamer. Forget the two groups... you'll be 3 group territory. Yo…
Hey!
Thanks for your suggestions, it's awesome to find someone so willing to be helpful. I actually did find a position as morning manager at a Coffee Shop/Wine Bar here called Perugino, so my immediate search is over, but I'll still check out your…
It's not that hard to make. Google it and find something you like in the way of a recipe. Fun to experiment. Time allowing that is.
A naked PF is absolutely paramount for me in successfully adjusting my grinder's setting. And in the beginning, was just as important in figuring out the correct distribution/tamping technique.
I like it.
I want to clarify.... Were you using My Chai, inc. from Bend, Or? Or some other my chai, or maya chai?
I'm not sure if you're looking for different importers/ roasters, but I know that Cafe Imports has a great deal of information on most all coffee they carry. I'm not sure if they offer there coffee roasted already or if its all green.
