Mmm interesting mycuppa, I just had it as a cappuccino, no sugar, and it's very smooth, maybe the smoothest bean I've had yet through milk.

Oh dear........roaster secrets revealed in forums...........I will no doubt be disowned by the secret squirrel club now..... Hope you enjoy it SS......and it still may have a bit of development left in it......

Sierra Leone - day 4 and it's what I imagine kitty would be if you ran it through the grinder. 10kg sample looked very low in moisture and if I'm not mistaken, perhaps the a barely distinguishable whiff of bromide (probably from AQIS). It roasted very fast, I had to through the boat anchor out in the first ramp after turning point - almost like there was barely any moisture in the bean (reminded me of roasting some old el-salvador beans that had been lost for 4 years in the storage racks). Anyway - even at barely any heat, it went bollocking along rather quickly and no chance of trying to be a show-off with a S-curve......so I let it take the natural course and got FC at 9 mins (even that was a big stretch) and popped it just as it started to snap into SC at 13min, 20 secs. Slight sheen on the bean and just the first couple of drops of oil. I'm very afraid to drink another shot.......I think my guts are rumbling already........better not go too far in the van tomorrow in case of adverse unexpected reactions.

From the recent bean swap Today I roasted on the KKTO 700 gr of Indian Tiger Mountain to just on the hint of 2nd crack This bean was so easy to roast, but did have a fair amount of chaff KK

Dry_bean

Fired up the Coretto this morning and roasted 725 grams of Brazil Moreninha Formosa, stopped the roast just prior to second crack, plenty of chaff with this one. I suspect there were a some foreign beans in this batch as a few of them roasted as black as the ace of spades, never experienced this before, no big deal only half a dozen or so, easily removed by hand. ;D

Java Ijen/Rwanda Gisenyi/Bolivian Blend (120g/120g/80g) 320g Ethiopian Guna Limmu 320g Laos Dong Hua Sao 320g Indian Monsoon Malabar 320g Bolivian *sigh*. That should last a week.

Got my Indian Robusta and Brazilian Dolce from Vinitasse in the mail today. Roasted 155g of Indian Robusta. Smell straight from the roaster was wonderful. Will try as an SO before blending. Second roast: 300g Brazilian Dolce, taken to just on second crack. After about thirty second into cooling cycle (Behmor) I opened the door, and suddenly, a substantial fire broke out in the chaff collector. Turns out some of the smaller beans had fallen out and formed a neat little pile in a hot spot. Thankfully I managed to grab a rag, pull the chaff collector out, and the roast didn't suffer.

just did another 2 x500grm of my version of the famous KJM blend , but had to make an adjustment . the last few i have done were de selva ..........120gr costa rica las pav...100grm ugandan masaba ...160grm sumatran gayo ...120grm and that has been good but i have no ugandan masaba left so i have replaced it in this roast with brazilian detera instead see what happens come drinking time.i stopped it just about when i rekoned it was close to second crack or around 220c for a slightly lighter roast. this blend is very handy cos i use it in my second grinder in the shop my wife and i like it and we use it when a customer asks for not to strong a coffee or half strength coffee . johno

Obviously I had a huge blonde moment yesterday, I couldn't find this thread for the life of me! Well back to roasting ;D I have done and am doing the Tanzania Rononi I got in the swap and also the Ethopian Ghimbi again, this is because these are the two I did outside last Saturday that were crap crap and more crap, all sorts of browns and didn't taste all that nice I'd have to say. So here they are: Tanzania Rononi Tanzania Rononi - 9 July by Nic's Stuff, on Flickr Ghimbi Ghimbi - 9 July by Nic's Stuff, on Flickr

Besides my standard "House Espresso blend" for myself and friends (Brazil/Ethiopian/PNG): 250g MTC D10-D107 250g MTCP Organic I managed to scrounge (buy) from Kees at Mnt Tamborine Coffee Plantation when I visited a while ago. Both roasted to start of SC. Still maturing currently, but usually they are both SOs to my liking. Graham

I've done a 1.4kg roast in the BBQ drum of a Brazilian Blend from Ministy of Grounds yesterday. The reason so much is because I go back to work after my holidays and I will need a stash for my work plunger as well as some for home. Roasted 30 seconds into 2nd crack and despite there being not much time between first qnd second cracks (could this be because it's a preblend?) it was an even looking 20 minute roast and tastes great as an espresso only 4 hours later. The BBQ is a rough home made job but i like the taste of the roasts from it better than the Behmor.... I dont know why??

Nicaraguan RFA SHG "La Bastilla" 500g taken to first snap of second crack first time for this bean I pulled a shot strait from the roaster and was surprised with the pour no bubbles a honey shot tasted OK as well 😛 600g Yemen Sanani Mocca pulled just before second crack slower roast this time see how it end up in the cup,This is the third roast and so far I am not a fan of this bean :-\ Gra..
