Then today I went to Reuben Hills and got some Kenya Nyeri, also roasted on 18\/10 &#8211; that&#8217;s on the right. Since I have no idea how to cupping (yes), I made it up by putting 7g of each in roughly 175mL water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"903\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Home-cupping-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Home-cupping-2.jpg 903w, https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Home-cupping-2-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Home-cupping-2-768x399.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 903px) 100vw, 903px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Ground them both, the Brazil was more aromatic &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t smell much of the Kenya, but that may have also been because I ground it first &#8211; they were about a minute apart with my hand grinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Home-cupping-3-1024x483.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Home-cupping-3-1024x483.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Home-cupping-3-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Home-cupping-3-768x363.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.raining-chaos.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Home-cupping-3.jpg 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Then I poured the water in, but I was sloppy as the only way I got both water levels round about the same was to first pour into my aeropress &#8211; so it was a violent pour, messing everything up and leaving me without much crust &#8211; so I probably ruined it.

The reason why I tried it was because I couldn&#8217;t really tell how the Kenyan tasted when I tried it today, and the last time I had the Brazil was yesterday. So when I had these side by side it was then obvious that the Kenyan was much more acidic while the Brazil was sweeter. Yay I had a mostly successful cupping!
