Celebes Kalassi

I purchased this coffee from a local shop in my area. I had them do a coarse grind on the beans because I am drinking this coffee at my house with my French press (as opposed to drinking it at work with my chemex). I bought my coffee grinder off of eBay but I think it is broken because I get the same grind no matter what setting I choose. The grinder came with good reviews and it is a burr grinder but it doesn't give me the grind I'm looking for which is why I have the coffee ground by a professional whenever possible.

The "barista" suggested the Kalassi after I told her all the other coffee's that I liked. This was a while ago but I remember she said it was peppery. That sounded interesting to me, so I went ahead a purchased a pound of it.

Here is what coffeereview.com has to say about Celebes Kalassi:

The Indonesian island of Sulawesi, formerly Celebes, spreads like a huge four-fingered hand in the middle of the Malay Archipelago. The Sulawesi coffee most likely to be found in specialty stores today comes from a mountainous region near the base of the southwestern finger of the island, north of the port of Ujung Padang. The region and the coffee, Toraja, are named after the colorful indigenous people of the region. The coffee is also called Kalossi, after a regional market town.
Whether we call it Sulawesi Toraja or Celebes Kalossi, coffee from this region can range from a plantation grown, wet-processed coffee with a smooth, vibrant but relatively low-acid, medium-bodied profile to small-grower coffees that resemble the Mandheling coffees of Sumatra both in virtues (when they are good they are deep, resonant, and pungently complex in the lower registers) and in vices (off-tastes range from earth through musty hardness to an odd stagnant water or pondy taste).

They also say this about Kalassi:

Kalossi. A growing region in the southeastern highlands of Sulawesi. At best, distinguished by full body, expansive flavor, and a low-toned, vibrant acidity. At worst, many display unpleasant hard or musty defects. Some display an earthiness which many coffee lovers enjoy and others avoid.

I guess I don't have much of a palate because I can't taste anything but earth or mud. It isn't terrible (it beats a cup of dunkin donuts or Starbucks by far) but I think I might be one of those coffee lovers who avoid the earthiness of this kind of bean.

And then I found $5.
