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-)

"Your not right." and "I'm through with you." My kitchen manager tells me everyday... but I'm glad she's just pick'n on me.

Royal has a fair amount of info on their website for some of their coffees. They are also very helpful if you ask, they certainly know where their coffees come from. If you're looking for something smaller, I highly suggest http://www.coffeeshrub.co…
I personally use Big Train Spiced Chai at my shop and people love it. It is a powder. We mix it with milk and it's really delicious. If you are at all in or around the Bellingham/ Seattle area, my most favorite chai is Harmony Chai brewed by Holly D…
The whole pre-infusion thing is a little bit overrated imho. For instance on an E61 machine, you've already got pre-infusion by design. You're really not accomplishing a whole lot more by adding to it. Take for example the majority of La Spaziale Vi…
As I understand it, the contemporary school of thought is of the mind that your best bet is to use unrested beans; however, this will only buy you a very small window, beyond the ±30 minutes alloted for the espresso ground coffee to degas, where qua…
We're moving our coffee operation into a much smaller space, and I'm considering pre-grinding a small amount of decaf at the beginning of the day (maybe using the Bunn drip grinder set on "espresso") and keeping it in a small Cambro container by the…
I actually meant to post the above reply ^^ in the discussion entitled "Best commercial espresso machine", but I suppose it could be relevant here as well.
Still getting used to this forum's layout! :p
+1!! Absolutely quoted for truth!!!
There are a lot of shops and serious home baristas out there who'll have something like a Linea or GS3 mated with a Mazzer Major. Having had both a commercial flat burr grinder and now a conical one, I think the…
I like the idea of a hempuccino... doesn't have the buzz you're thinking of but somehow the vanilla hempmilk tastes great with sf gosh thats good chocolate powder and and bit of caramel sauce. Surprizing! It's the first coffee drink I've liked with…
no, we're using oregon chai. we used to use my chai before that...
