Description

From Sulawesi, the Indonesian island previously known as Celebes, "Kalossi" is the former Dutch word for the island. It predates "Toraja" as a name for this coffee. The producers in this region have many acceptable conditions for growing coffee like volcanic soil and thick forests for shade that maintain moisture needed for the coffee plants. Small family farms grow and process their own coffee cherries and use the wet hulled process method that leaves the beans exposed while they dry on patios then they are collected and transported to a central dry mill for final preparation, sorting, and exporting.

The Kalossi is an outstanding cup for those who like a full-bodied, aromatic, wild and spicy, highly-complex brew, and a little funkier than the Toraja. Compared to the Toraja, the Kalossi picks up some additional earthy character from the additional chaff.

Cupping Notes: Clean, sweet, and earthy with a heavy body, low acidity, and notes of pepper and spice- a classic Indonesian coffee.

This bean always delivers. I roast it just into second crack. I use it as single origin and also in blends to add that Indonesian ummphhh! It's definitely my go-to, so smooth.

I have been drinking Sulawesi coffee for more than a decade, and just recently decided to roast my own beans . . . after just few roasts I was able to dial in my time/temp cycles with these beans to get the roast how I like it . . . super excited to take my coffee experience to the next level :)

This is a very good bean at City roast. I like it slightly less than the Toraja, which has more chocolate/caramel profile.

What a nice surprise this coffee was. I took it just passed the first crack to a dark chestnut color.Quality is good (but my roasting needs work!) Beans are uniform and roast evenly. Will try removing before the second crack on this next batch

Roasted to Full City/+ on an SR800 with ext. tube. Actually went a little darker than I had intended. Took the roast along the same time/temps as previous City/City+ roasts, but it really progressed quickly. Second crack came soon after first, so be aware. A pleasant spice was probably the first thing I tasted. That and an earthy nuttiness were the most prevalent flavors. Didn't taste the chocolate per the writeup. The finish produced a slight floral taste. All in all a good bean, just not in my preferred flavor wheelhouse.

Quality is good (but my roasting needs work!) Beans are uniform and roast evenly. Will try removing before the second crack on this next batch, but the first batch was definitely drinkable, just needs finessing. They also packed the beans very well. I received an intact, well-filled bag in a timely fashion. Other suppliers sent beans in flimsy bags that burst during shipping. I will buy from them again.

Great flavor! The beans are fairly uniform & roast pretty evenly. Med-dark seems to offer the best profile for me

This is really good coffee. I'm new to roasting and it still turned out tasting great. I did burn second batch by going too dark but I think just beyond second crack is good for me. Want to try the Torajo next.

We recently got a sample pack of 12 different beans and this was, by far, my family's favorite. I roasted in a hot air popcorn popper for about 4 minutes or so and it is delicious! We have ordered more since the original order. Definitely a well rounded smooth cup of coffee with a little unique flavor.

I like a funkier Indonesian to be sure, but this is a very smooth drinker. It's got complexity, but a smooth finish.

Great stuff. I roast it in a conventional gas oven. One heaping pint of beans spread over a 12-inch splatter screen for 70 minutes@425 degrees.
