Roaster's Notes

After an eternity, we finally landed a beautiful Sulawesi Kalossi coffee.
It is a rare and exotic coffee that should be on every coffee lover's bucket list.
This Indonesian will undoubtedly hit the spot for those who enjoy bold, rich, robust coffees.
Grown on a small island, processed by the traditional Sumatran method of wet-hulling, this fantastic coffee has a broad array of flavours wrapped in a rich body.
It is a delicious-tasting coffee to savour long after the final sip.
Like all wet-hulled coffees, Sulawesi requires a much finer grind. For those of you new to using Single Origin Sulawesi coffees, please ensure you set the grinder fine enough for espresso extraction/
Other brew methods are less sensitive to the grind setting.

Description

Sulawesi - a rare coffee legend returns.

Buy 500g or 1kg of our 100% Arabica Sulawesi-Celebes Kalossi Grade 1 (also known as Bukit Marante) coffee today.

A rare and exotic coffee, we are thrilled to share this unique lot with our wonderful customers.

It has been a long wait to secure a decent lot - 6 years seems like forever.

These coffees are wild-grown in the ancient Toraja region on the small Indonesian island of Sulawesi (sometimes known by its Dutch-appointed name Celebes).

Sulawesi Kalossi is a super punchy coffee with low acid, rich and bold body, sublime dark and earthy notes of chocolate, spice, and cocoa with nectarine and white grape acidity.

Indeed, it is a "bucket list" coffee experience.

Perfect for hard-hitting espresso enthusiasts, a coffee with complex candy sweetness contrasting the heavy body and earthy tones.

Using Sulawesi coffee.

Sulawesi is similar to other Sumatran coffees processed using the traditional wet-hulled method.

Like all Sumatrans, Sulawesi Kalossi requires a finer grind setting and more extended de-gas from the roast date to allow flavour development and stabilization.

Typical rest periods for Sulawesi coffees are 7 to 10 days from the roast date, which may reduce slightly in warmer weather.

All wet-hulled coffees undergo a series of "rapid flavour transformations" during the de-gas (first week after roasting).

Flavours can change so fast and dramatically from day to day that you would hardly recognize the coffee one day to the next in the first ten days from the roast date.

These most significant reactions occur between days 4 and 10 from the roast date.

At certain times, the coffee may appear less than optimal, or it may even taste weird.

Still, it's just a normal part of the standard lifecycle in reactions of fresh roasted Sulawesi and Sumatran coffees processed by wet hulling.

Then suddenly, the coffee turns nice, a wonderful experience.

If you ever encounter any of these responses from freshly roasted coffee, please wait a few days for the development period to complete.

The rewards will be well worth it.

Sulawesi is now very difficult to source. This was the last and freshest shipment available anywhere in Australia.

mycuppa uses a full cast iron coffee roaster for maximum flavor and sweetness

Why our coffees are different

Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.

Why roasting with Cast Iron is best

how we roast your coffee

Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

mycuppa explains the delicate balance when roasting coffees for exceptional flavors

Roast Balance

Roast depth is a moving target for most coffee brands. It can depend upon the individual lot being roasted, ambient conditions (hot or cold) and the target brew application.

Our roast depth always targets medium (except for filter roast products that are roasted lighter).

Our medium-level roast is a combination of many factors, such as the balance of flavour, sweetness and acidity.

Roasting too far in one direction tends to pull or detract from other attributes.

Roast Profile

Our roast profile has evolved and optimized over the last 20 years.

Not much has changed in the last few years as the level of quality has essentially maintained at a consistently high range.

We roast for a medium level that takes all of the attributes into consideration - flavour, complexity, sweetness, acidity, body, aroma and finish.

Our roast profile could be described as carefully cautious - unwilling to push into zones that create an unbalanced cup taste.

Colour

Roast color is an outdated metric which no longer applies to quality coffees.

The external color of a roasted coffee bean bares little resemblance to how that coffee was actually roasted.

In the past, coffee was segmented as light, medium or dark. But those motifs did not sufficiently encompass the number of variations possible.

The external shade of a roasted coffee is more influenced by the brix (sugars) of the bean, e.g. higher brix levels may present or display darker shades of brown when roasted.

The processing method also plays a role in determining the final colour. Washed coffees are darker in shade, as are Decaf coffees, while naturals display a lighter and mottled appearance.

The roast profile also impacts the finished colour. A lighter-colored coffee may have been roasted poorly, having baked or stalled with darker internal colours.

Similarly, a lighter external color might hide the darker internals from scorching or rapid roasting using an invalid profile.

Dark does not mean stronger. In fact, dark is weaker as acid and caffeine levels decline.

Acidity

Acidity is perhaps one of the most complex and mis-understood attributes of roasted coffee.

Acidity is a fundamental requirement for flavor, in fact acidity is the pathway of flavor compounds.

Customers often ask for low—or zero-acid coffees. However, those coffees with very low acidity typically display dull, mediocre, and boring cup elements.

Australian coffee drinkers are predominantly milk or dairy alternative drinkers. In fact 93% of coffee drinkers add something else to the coffee besides sugar.

Acids are mostly grouped as citric or malic. When coffee is roasted well, the acidity should result in delicious sweetness.

However, the extraction or brew process can also affect the taste.

Whole bean coffee stays fresher for much longer than ground coffees

Ground coffee is poor value

Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.

The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.

Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.

If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.

Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.

Wowsa

First time trying coffee from Sulawesi and definitely not the last time. What a great coffee

Amazeballs

After spending ages trying to decide what to buy from their list, I ended up calling to ask for a recommendation. They suggested this Sulawesi and goodness it is so different to anything else I have tried in coffee. I like it and definitely comeing back for more next time.

Has good flavor.

It is sweet tasting and decent flavors. I prefer more fruity tasting coffees that are lighter. Otherwise was as described by the seller and deserving of 4 stars.

Interesting taste

First time drinking a single origin coffee. Gave this product a try and it is different to what we are used to. After a few days of drinking it we liked it even more.

Gosh

Brilliant coffee that you don't see every day. Mycuppa has a history of hunting for gems and this is definitely one of them. Keep up the good work Jeff and team.
