TLDR; Gorgeous coffee. Would recommend/buy again. 10/10.
I have tried a few coffees from F9 myself, as well as tried a few that my friends had. Hands down, this is the best offering from F9 I've tried till date.
Brewing methods: Aeropress (inverted), Espresso, V60
Grinder: 1zpresoo K-Ultra
Tasting notes:
MANGO. Strawberry. Grapefruit. Spiced pineapple.
I don't completely agree with the notes, but then again I'm not a Q Grader, so... The milk chocolate mentioned felt more like an aromatic note. Strawberries came through mainly in the espresso shots.
Coffee attributes are spot on!
Personal favorite: Espresso. It. Is Wild. It felt like I was drinking some kinda citrusy-mango syrup with hints of strawberry. I literally couldn't tell it was coffee, save for the fragrance.
Sticking point: Chaff. It seems, the brew is significantly better if you go through the extra hassle of removing the chaff, which probably signals that the roast is a fair bit more delicate than the tag 'Light plus' would indicate. Not something F9 or the farmers could do, but should be mentioned nonetheless.
Miscellaneous: While espresso was my favorite, I tried the coffee with the Aeropress (full brew, not faux espresso + water) way more (that's how I realized the chaff thingy). The reasons I didn't try mokapot, French press or milk drinks was, put simply, I thought it would not be a good accompaniment to this specific coffee.
To Fraction9,
I was impressed with your Frozen Cherry microlot, but this one is just . Thanks a lot, very excited to see your future lighter roasts.
PS. I really wanted to try your Peach coffee as well, but I was a tad too late and it was sold out. Alas!
Hello,
There r so many variants of coffee available here, and wanted to try before buying. This sampler pack was a boon.
I messaged fraction9 on whatsapp and they gave me great support. ASked me what taste was I looking for, do I take my coffee black or with milk and many such questions. Then he sent me 6 very different coffees... 1 fermented RM coffee, Mango Punch, etc.
I change in my thought after talking to fraction9... I want to taste coffee, hence from now on, will try light roast or medium roast.
Loving the different tastes of each different coffees. Thank u fraction9.
The coffee has light body, and is sweet.
It has sweet and citrus notes of Pineapple.
It leaves a sweet aftertaste.
Excellent flavour. A refreshing drink to start the day. Burst of flavours in each and every sip.
I just love fraction 9 coffee; it’s flavour is the perfect way to wish one a Good Morning. And a cuppa or two during the day is so invigorating 👍👍
Tried the Coffee bags for the 1st time .
Now brewing a high quality Coffee is a child's play. It's very convenient and Aromatic as usual.
I have had my first cup of this coffee today. I made it from the whole beans using my hand grinder and my percolator (mocha pot). The taste as well as the flavor are excellent.
