We've received a lot of requests for a bare-bones version of coffee reviews that will print well for roast logs and the like. Since everyone uses the reviews differently, we decided to make a format where you can choose which fields you'd like to print. As you check and uncheck the boxes below, fields will appear and disappear to preview roughly what the page will look like when printed (use your browser's "print preview" feature for a more accurate preview). Once you've selected the fields you want, hit the "Print this Review" button to make this header text disappear and print the page. We're planning on adding the ability to put multiple reviews on a page soon, but hopefully this will get you started.

This coffee has a really nice caramel-vanilla and ginger cookie notes from the ground coffee. There's mild citric and floral hints as well, and these come into full view when you add the hot water. Hints of rose and mandarin emerge in the wet aroma, in addition to a well-saturated sweetness, honeyed in the lighter roast and more dark caramel at Full City roast level. The cup is sweet and amazingly "complete" in the lighter roasts for such a delicately bright coffee, with a brilliant acidity. The mandarin orange notes are quite distinct in the cup, especially at City roast. There's a refined sweetness, like pure cane syrup. There are apricot hints and the floral note of acacia blooms. As the cup cools the sweetness has a clean clover honey character, with a long aftertaste floral and sweet citrus. I believe it really shines at City roast, where the coffee looks a bit variegated and patchy in surface color and texture, before it "smooths out" toward Full City level. The first sip can seem a bit plain, but it really opens up as the cup cools. Of many roasts and many cups, I did have 1 potato defect cup from Gitesi. If it is present at all, it seems to be a rare occurrence. But if you wonder what this defect smells like, I guarantee you will know when you get a cup with it.
