I just brewed for the first time this 90/10 Mokaflor Farm blend by Caffelab/Mokaflor and WOW it’s just good as the outside box looks.

Plenty sweetness and good body, it’s a medium roast so you can feel the layers of flavour which include: chocolate (a lot), biscuit and malt.

When I brew 100% arabica I tend to stay in the 1.5.X range on my grinder and 1.8.X for 100% robusta, both medium roast base samples (dark roasts would be on the coarser side because they extract more easily), so for this one I chose an in between setting which is 1.6.2 and I could stop here for how good it tastes.

A very little hint of acidity at the beginning which gets instantly neutralized by lots of sweetness and chokky notes for the Brazilian arabica, then it’s Colombia time with malt and biscuit, there’s probably caramel too, all while the robusta stays silent in the background giving us body and toasted notes.

Bros 90/10 is good if you want to boost the body, but 80/20 is where it’s at for Italian blends (I should also try 70/30). Also dark roast.

This would be a perfect coffee for a future liquor, maybe I can even try making some with the leftover alcohol. Hmm.
