Looks good Chester..... I will be tasting 2 of them soon I must say the Mexican 3rd wave roast I have been drinking is a really fantastic bean! I drank most of it as espresso too the natural melon Fruity sweetness is just perfect and I like the body and dark crema

Lacehim

Roasted 300gm on Rwanda beans And 300gm of Tiger the new TO is cracking along! I can't believe I didn't realise the old one was so lacking in power!

Rwandan looks really good Lacehim, nice job. Chester

Lacehim

The Rwandan is a lot lighter, the picture just turned out dark for some reason. I pulled it a bit earlier than usual but that's what happens when your juggling the kids and roasting! lol. I've been trying for a few lighter roasts anyway after chatting to you, so it will be interesting to see what they are like in the cup. 🙂

Roasted a really nice juicy Costa Rica Oritz and started working on a signature blend.

Lacehim

If you need a tester for your signature blend let me know. [emoji6][emoji106]

I could probably be coerced into helping out as well. ;D

png whagi - cant go past it for consistency in roasting at the moment plus it tastes great in the cup - with wild berry and forest floor aromas on a plum pudding infused palate!

You guys rock, to think I thought it would be a struggle to find people kind enough to offer their taste buds. :laugh:

I still have some AA from ash. Great bean, and was one of the first I roasted my own coffee. 🙂

Roasted a few days ago, Yirg Kochera for some forum members 😉, Nicaragua Lupululo which is a great coffee and nice to roast. Finished with another 2kg's of the new bean on my shelf - Costa Rica Granitos de Oritz, loving this coffee, very different, with amazing flavours of toffee and golden syrup combined with a nice buttery mouthfeel. A perfect afternoon in the roastery was had, with the added new water views due to the flooding. Chester Sorry for the bad photos, phone did an auto update and the camera has changed and it's rubbish.

Just roasted 500gm green of Jeffs freebie Ethiopia Harrar Longberry. I found it rummaging in my beans. Lol. A bit dark maybe but still getting used to my new TO that speeds things up a bit! Lol

Crickey Lacheim... That one is threatening antique listing. How is it?? I've roasted a special blend of 300g Sumatran with 200g Yemen to just on 2nd crack in the KKTO. Only 3 days ld and couldn't wait. A bit fresh but so good already!

Lacehim

It's resting still. And oldie maybe, but still look ok, and kept in a cool dry place. The Honduras COE was pretty old too, maybe 4 years? I think it was the 2011 variety but tasted perfect. Loved that bean. I find little gem's like that when my stash got shoved behind the Christmas guff in the cupboard and I didn't get to roast for a while because I didn't have the energy or willpower to tackle getting it out! lol. All solved now. But just got some Yirg from Chester via C-Man to try. Should be fun.

Excellent! I remember the MyCuppa Harrar which was a generous freebie. I'm not a huge fan of Harrar but that one was stunning! Seems to be standard with MyCuppa offerings.

In the KKTO roaster today is 900 gr of Guatamala Antigua KK

Lacehim

That sounds nice KK. I might also try a bigger batch on my next roast now that the new TO is going so well! 🙂

Lacehim

I went crazy yesterday! 🙂 Went to roast and got fed up rummaging around in a box full of half empty bags. Here's the blending results, a end of bag blend. 8) Blend 1: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Gr2 wash 260g PNG Wahgi AA 255gm Roasted that one, 1C in 10mins with a preheated KKTO! Man this new TO is fast! slowed it down and pulled on 2C so a bit darker than I wanted. Not what I intended but that's what you get when you juggled monitoring kids and roasting. Blend 2: Indo Sumatran Mandheling Kuda Mas 285gm Costa Rica Herbeza Estate 320gm Roasted this one second 1C in 10 mins (the old TO would have been getting there at 18!), and got all cosmic couple on this one, reduced the heat and coasted it for 3-4 mins and pulled before 2C. It looked pretty good. Yet to roast are Blend 3: Brazil Daterra Estate Opus 1 Exotic 125gm Java Kalistat 2010 25gm Panama Hacienda La Esmeralda 170gm Blend 4: Finca El Injerto Capadocia Caracol 155gm Ethiopia Cuji Sidamo 135gm PNG Wahgi AA 285gm So, some bloody old beans there from when I started roasting but kept in a very cool, dark area (where Harry Potter lives) and hopefully will be fine. Worse case they taste like rubbish, but even Jeff's old freebie is still ok. Still got a 1kg or so of that left! 🙂 Who knows if I got any decent blends out of all that lot. I just threw together what looked nice in my head! A total experiment! :rofl: :laugh:
