Hi,

I used to work in a coffee store where the espresso beans varied
in their oiliness depending upon how humid the weather had been on
the day they were roasted. I wonder...do you recall what the weather
was like on the day the face was shiny? Or were you cooking or doing
laundry or something else that might have created greater humidity
that day? (I'm suggesting this without knowing if humidity has any
visible effect on baking clay and finishes, mind you...has anyone
ever noticed any?)
