X2 From the picture the bottom one looks to be maybe FC++ or maybe light Vienna. Give it 2-3 days rest and give it a try. |

Re: What are you roasting today?
I have converted to a French Press and that is all I use.
Maybe others might chime in, but for me the press is the way to go. |
Re: What are you roasting today?
I only use the FP, but it is all I have tried.
|
Re: What are you roasting today?
The FP is my standard too, the others are for espresso based drinks. Going to try some Monkey Blend in the moka pot tonight. Was excellent in the FP this morning.

Re: What are you roasting today?
Never heard of them Shane, but then I'm still just getting into this craft.
Going to a local farmers market tomorrow morning. Germack nut company has their new store up and running and has a section dedicated to just coffee. I heard they have green coffee too. Gonna check it out. |
Re: What are you roasting today?
Colombia Tolima - Einar Ortiz Microlot, with just about 30gr. of Felix Guzman micro, to fill it out. I was just that much short. One is lemony, the other very sweet. Looking forward to cupping on Tues.

Re: What are you roasting today?
Has anyone ever re-roasted as in a batch was lighter than you desired and wanted to go darker after tasting how it turned out?

I went with what was answered and didn't. If you have time, There are better reason in the back pages and to why. I asked in this thread.. Not sure what page or even close. |
Re: What are you roasting today?
This is a good answer with a good reason.
Hope this helps. http://www.cheftalk.com/t/59866/re-r...can-it-be-done |
Re: What are you roasting today?
I placed a sampler order from Theta Ridge today, I will keep everybody posted as to how it goes. Their prices are much, much less than SM. I intend to find a good sample and purchase a 10lb order of it.

"Once coffee beans have cooked and cooled, they can't be cooked more. Roasting temperature profiles and sequences make a big difference in how the coffee ultimately tastes. Sorry." "I've read at COFFEEGEEK.COM that it's a method practised regularly by the Swiss and it gives the coffee a different character." "No, you cannot roast beans a second time and expect the oils to be their best. If oil is on the surface of the bean, i would assume a scorching effect. Never done it though; so I'm just assuming. "What I would do is put the beans away for a week; this should make the coffee a little bit stronger. I would also use a french press then too- much better flavor intensity." |
Re: What are you roasting today?
Shane, did you email them for prices? I was just looking on the site and didn't see any listed.

Re: What are you roasting today?
Did a couple batches today. Some SM's Liquid Amber Espresso blend and they're Sumatra Lintong Tano Batak.
The odd thing about my first batch of the Sumatra, I didn't get a first crack. One loud pop around the 3:45 mark, but nothing after. Took it to what I'm guessing was city ++, maybe even FC. Did another batch and got the normal cracking for a period of time. Strange. |
Re: What are you roasting today?
http://www.thetaridgecoffee.com/ I got their price list,there is a surcharge if you buy less than a bag full. $.45 /lb on 10 lb and up,$.65 /lb under 10 lb.
That said,there is a shipping charge to consider. I would like to try several of their beans,some new items on me........... |

Re: What are you roasting today?
I just roasted a pound of the Ethopia Illubaor-Camp Cooperative from SM's.

Re: What are you roasting today?
Just purchased my largest single bean order.
I ordered 10lbs of Brazil Dattera Sweet Blue from ThetaRidge. |
Re: What are you roasting today?
Zimbabwe AA Plus Estate Salimba ROTT.
This particular bean seems to be taking 2-3 more minutes than most other varieties to get to FC+ in my Poppery II. |
Re: What are you roasting today?
I have noticed that certain beans take very different times. Sometimes having to do with the size of the bean itself or maybe even if it was Dry or Wet Processed.
