Today I finished the last or my Wegmans Brand Jamaican me Crazy. Time to ask for more. I get my friends to send me coffee from home since the selection here on post is dismal.

Just had a Moka pot of a blend I roasted on Sat. 1 pound consisting of: 4oz of Guatemalan (Hunapu), 4oz of Colombia Supremo, 4oz of Ethiopian Yirgracheffe, and 4oz of Sumatra Manderling. A beautiful taste. I am just getting into a the blending of different coffee beans. :dr :cf2

Hey ya Mark! :D

This morning was Sumatra Tarbarita Peaberry. Full City + / Vienna. Very tasty with a spicy-smokey flavor.

Not to bad...like I said Just getting started in the blending route. I'm gonna drop down on the Colombian by 2oz and raise the Eth up the same amount. Then I might drop the Colombian out altogether....it is such a great single origin coffee. Just had the same blend above in a french press....doesn't work....so I'll save it for the Moka Pot.

I have never tried a Sumatra Peaberry....I'll ask when I go buy more beans. :cf2

You seem to have a perchance for Sumatran coffee.....is that all you drink?

My favorite is Colombian....and easy to roast, and very forgiving if roasted too long.

I had to repair my SCCO(Stir Crazy Convection Oven) yesterday, really just some modifications to how the temp probe is held into the beans. I might be picking up a Fresh Roast SR-500 next month, just to have another roaster on hand. Not really happy with the temp control on the SCCO also. Got damaged in a move.

Folgers Black Silk. Oh yeah!! I am too cheap to buy the good stuff (too many options and I do not want to buy something I will not like) and know nothing about roasting my own.

Nope, I like all kinds. I just happened to have roasted 2 Sumatran varieties last weekend and also some Ethiopian Dry-Process Yirgga Cheffe that I am having this morning. This one has been great. Amazing Blueberry notes.

A new espresso roast:

50% Brazil Sweet Yellow Bourbon, 30% Monsonned Malabar, 10% Harrar, 10% Aged Zambian.

Nice!

OOoohh That sounds yummy. I have some of that Ethiopian.
You make me want to get out my SOCO and roast some. But that thing not as convenient as a Fresh Roast SR-500 will be.
What roaster do you use?

And also how long do you let the coffee out-gas before brewing? I am still very much an amateur roaster....always want to know more about it. :)

Take a look at some of the Home Roasting websites. There are a huge variety of Green Coffee Beans available and those mentioned above are just a few. Check out Sweet Marias. Very informative site.

I picked up some green Haitian a few days ago.
Very pleased, sorta like JBM.

I really like Folgers "French Vanilla", but I can only find it in the smaller containers where they have their other flavors in bigger ones. It is really good though. Have never been that much into coffee until recently so I haven't tried much more.

I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread, but my favorite has been Stewards Private Blend. It comes pre-ground for drip, which turns some people off I know, but it's smooth and not terribly acidic.

Cafe La Semuse. can be hard to find, but its a pretty solid performer for a pre-packed coffee....

Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe Dumerso Cooperative , tasty but not nearly as good as the Ethiopia Gr. 3 Dry Process Yirga Cheffe I got on my last order. The Gr.3 Dry Process was much fruitier (Blueberry/Strawberry). The Dumerso CoOp is a little more Chocolately.

El Salvador Santa Ana Naranjo roasted 5 days ago to Full City Plus. Great mello flavors. Nice Caramel and a slight coco in the background.

This morning was Nicaragua Mozonte Un Ragalo de Dios. Very tasty. At Full City + it is very chocolately with some nice baking spices.

Agreed! I roasted some up last week to City +, rested it for 2 days, man it was good.
Then yesterday I blended it with some Ethiopia DP Sidama Aleta Wondo (Full City +), that was a great blend.

Just pressed some Woodchuck Ethiopian Sidomo. Not as dark a roast as I normally drink but good.

Costco's Private Blend by Starbucks. Medium roast and much different than what I associate Starbucks as roasting. Not very "Starbucks" tasting.

On days with 2 and 3 days rest, the grapefruit flavor was surprising and VERY enjoyable. Chocolate covered graprfruit, whoda thunk? With 5, the grapefruit was gone, but it was a well rounded and very flavorful coffee. Really liking this one. Mine was roasted a bit darker at FC-FC+
I have that Aleta Wondo, too. A nice Ethiopian, I did not blend the two. Something for the future.

Some Cafe La Llave in the moka pot around 4:30 today. That 3 cupper moka makes a nice 3/4 cup mugger (jitter jitter jitter):D
