Deep Cello made my day
Deep cello made my day
I recently ordered my first bag of Deep Cello coffee. I have read lots of good things on here and they have been active on Roaste.com, so I have wanted to order some for a long time. I got the order yesterday. I ordered their Bossa espresso blend, but had been torn and tempted to order Black Tie blend, but I usually like to order just one bag of coffee from a roaster the first time so that if I really do not like their coffee I have not wasted too much money. I had always ordered several bags in the past because shipping made it silly to order just one bag, but Roaste prime has freed me up with free shipping, so I can now order coffee the way I would like – and I would argue the smarter (cheaper?) way.
There was still a little regret that I had to pick just one. Deep Cello it turns out saved the day, though, as they greatly surprised me with a sample bag of the Black Tie roast included for free! This sample bag was not a tiny 3 oz bag, but instead almost half a pound! It is perfect because if I try to dial it in for espresso for the first time ever it might take 5-6 ounces and so I should be able to have enough to really see what it tastes like at its best before I run out. This will allow me to know if I want to order it again or not. What a great surprise.
On that note, do people have any recommendations for brew parameters for either the Bossa blend or the Black Tie blend as espresso? I have only pulled one shot so far of Bossa and tried at random 18 grams and 200 degrees and the shot was good enough to assure me that I will almost certainly like this coffee quite a lot when I dial it in, but I did not see brew parameters on their website so I would love it if anyone had suggestions that helped me dial it in even faster!

EricBNC | Mon, 02/06/2012 - 02:53these guys are doing the right things with the coffee and with the generosity - good karma
@HOONCHUL
Wakeknot | Fri, 02/03/2012 - 14:58good luck. I hope you get a sample, too. I almost didn't post this so people wouldn't be disappointed if they didn't win the sample jackpot.
@JBVIAU
Wakeknot | Fri, 02/03/2012 - 14:58agreed, that sample was bigger than some coffee bags that I've bought before that were not considered samples!
@KARRDE
Wakeknot | Fri, 02/03/2012 - 14:50They are very different so liking one won't assure liking the other, but at least for me Bossa is my favorite.
@SONTON
Wakeknot | Fri, 02/03/2012 - 14:47they certainly did make me feel lucky! It would not seem so lucky though if they did not make good coffee.
@INTREPID
Wakeknot | Fri, 02/03/2012 - 14:44I will try it at lower doses if you have had success with it that way.
@AVASERFI
Wakeknot | Fri, 02/03/2012 - 14:43How long out are you from getting a new grinder? It is hard to imagine life without one these days!
@GMANJENKS
Wakeknot | Fri, 02/03/2012 - 14:42Do you get coffee shipped across the boarder or do you have to just get the coffee when you are on this side?
AFTER MANY POSITIVE REVIEWS
hoonchul | Tue, 01/31/2012 - 12:49After many positive reviews I've decided that my next order of beans will be from Deep Cello. I'm crossing my fingers for free bag of coffee!
LUCK GUY!
Son Ton | Sat, 01/28/2012 - 22:04you are a really lucky person then! And Deep Cello must be a very good roaster as well to surprise you with such a kind gift!
NICE
jbviau | Sat, 01/28/2012 - 15:38Can't help you with the espresso parameters--sorry. Yup, Justin truly doesn't skimp with the samples! Pretty sweet. I'll have to try the latest version of Black Tie. IIRC there's some PNG mixed in it.
THE BLACK TIE IS MY FAVORITE
Karrde | Sat, 01/28/2012 - 13:02The black tie is my favorite blend I've tried from them. Haven't tried the Bossa yet though.
YOU KNOW ITS BEEN A WHILE
intrepid510 | Sat, 01/28/2012 - 12:59You know its been a while since I had Bossa so I cannot comment on the brew parameter especially since I tend to keep my dose around 15 +/- 1 a gram. It is good tho!
GREAT SERVICE
avaserfi | Sat, 01/28/2012 - 10:31As soon as I have a grinder again, I think I need to order some coffee from Deep Cello. Thanks for the heads up!
ON MY WISH LIST.
GmanJenks | Sat, 01/28/2012 - 09:46With nothing but good things that I have heard trying something from Deep Cello is definitely on my list to try. Thank you for reaffirming what others have said.
