So I have some beans from 2 different roasters, the light roast is a bit old (Great North), and there wasn’t much left when my partner brought me another roast that I can’t get from out of state that’s a medium roast (Philz). That medium roast is almost gone now too, so I mixed them together and made a pour over this morning.
It’s pretty interesting, it has those light flowery notes up front, but then finishes with a rich depthness that wasn’t apparent when I was brewing the medium roast solo.
Just thought that was interesting… but now I want to hear from you. Do you ever mix beans for your brews, pour over or otherwise? Do you get different flavor profiles when doing so? How about fresh or older beans?
Let me know in the comments below, thank you for reading and I hope you have a great day!

Yeah definitely! This is what I always do when it’s the bottoms of two bags. Sometimes it’s the unrepeatable delicious house blend… Maybe in part delicious because I know it will never happen again, but also what you said – you get some interesting combinations that way.
Same here, no sense wasting good beans so may as well blend when you don’t have enough for a full brew.
