Kenya Coffee Grades

A geeky macro video of the various grades and types of Kenya coffee. Some of this information can apply to wet processed coffee elsewhere too! -Tom

This is probably the most informative thing I’ve ever seen

[@blek1987]

This channel, and particularly this video, is one of the most educational materials on #coffee I've found on UA-cam. Thanks!

[@ThompsonOwen]

very much appreciate this comment! -tom

[@earlystrings1]

These are some of the most valuable coffee videos on UA-cam. Fascinating!

[@mwanikimburu]

Am a coffee farmer in Mt. Kenya Highlands and I found this documentary quite informative; obviously hearing it from a buyer's point of view.

[@miserezmary7656]

I need to get to know you

Thank you for your teachings

[@famvdla]

Great I learnt so much

[@GoTellJesusSaves]

Thank you so much for sharing this info with us, who have not visited coffee farms or processing facilities.
I'm thinking some of that coffee would do much better as compost. If there's a way to do that, making it for soil enrichment, they can possibly produce better crops in the future.
However... That stuff should never be sold as drinkable coffee, because that's not what it is.
At the rate at which specialty coffee is catching on and taking off, there should be no problems getting more money for the drinkable coffees being produced, considering that fair trade is happening within the production region/country of origin. But that is more of an ethics issue within that region/country.

Fantastic. Thanks for that.

Does the C-Grade coffee featured in this video come inside of the same type of parchment as the C-Grade in your parchment video? Thanks for the informative video!

[@themenace2549]

Great Video...Make More!!!

[@benjaminlush8570]

incredible

[@Omkarah]

Thanks Tom! I bought 5 lbs of the "Kenya Nyeri Kiandu AB" today. Was that the Kenya AB in the video? I also added a pound of the "Guatemala Acatenango Gesha Lot 2", which will be a new experience for me.

[@ThompsonOwen]

it wasn't that exact coffee but yes, same grade (AB) which can often be as good or even better than AA! -tom

[@bdog111]

It's going to be hard to sleep tonight.

[@hotbutteredjosh]

Great info! thank you.

[@jimdavis8804]

You can even roast grinders?

[@sunghyunjeon6974]

Very educational

[@manatoa1]

Really enlightening, thanks!

[@BeanBrandOfficial]

This is awesome, thank you!

[@asprywrites]

Yeah just put beans under a scope and talk about what I'm seeing. So simple, so effective. Learned much, thanks.

[@ryanburbridge]

So what do they do with all that nasty coffee? Sell it to flogers?

[@pilsplease7561]

idk probably use it for something.

[@983839]

something tells me that information is a closely guarded secret

[@ThompsonOwen]

Ha ha - I read folgers and floggers ... anyway you are actually right, but *I* don't sell it to them, the traders do for sure. Instant coffee, as well as coffee sold pre-ground (like pre-packaged portions used for brewing in offices etc) are where low grades and off grades go. -tom

[@benardagisoh4098]

thanks for this piece would love to know more about coffee

[@diggindiggenit6540]

Thanks for another good video

[@alexanderchapman3227]

Where did you say the Kenyan samples are from???

[@altijdwelwat]

Alexander Chapman Kenyacof. But maybe Thompson means Kencoff?

[@charliecardoso46]

No, it's Kenyacof.

[@altijdwelwat]

Titles at 3'25" vs. 7"43" are contradictory on the same coffee! My best guess is 3'25" is the AA i/o AB.

[@ThompsonOwen]

Thanks for pointing this error out! you are correct... sorry about that -tom
