It's gonna be a good roast day. I'm gonna roast some Kona and some 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain. Will likely roast 1.5# of Kona for cold brewing and 1.5# JBM for French press.

I also picked the Hario Mizudashi 1000ml cold brewer to arrive early next week. Reviews on it are great.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Nice pickup Shane. I think Brazillian coffee is my favorite, followed closely by Ethiopian. I did roast up some Kenyan beans the other night and what I"m currently drinking.

Ethiopia D.P. Yirga Cheffe Konga

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

May need to look for that one, I am getting to the end of my green beans.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Roasted up 24 oz of Kenya Kianjuki and 12 oz of Ethopian Sidamo 18 Process

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Roasted last night, 1lb each of El Salvador Finca Siberia Bourbon and Hawaiian Maui Mokka. The Mokka always gives me problems. Never heard 1st crack. that was using my Behmor with 1-P5-D settings.

In case anyone needs some new beans, Burman Coffee has a newletter special on a few new lots. I picked up 5lbs each of an Ethiopian and Costa Rican for $4.50/lb. Even with shipping, it was just over $5.50/lb.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

1/2 Lb each:
Ethiopia D.P. Yirga Cheffe Konga at FC
Bolivia Organic Buenavista #1758 at FC
El Salvador Finca Siberia Pacamara at FC

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I roasted the last 9 oz of my Ethiopian Blue Harrar. Time to buy some more greenies. What should it be?

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Picked up 5# of this from Compass last week myself. Sounds delicious from the tasting notes.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

These Ethiopians from the green coffee buying club are great:

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I was part of that club, I don't have the funds to do that right now.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Last week I roasted this to FC+ and it was just ok. This week I only took it to FC and it was Great! Like Chocolate dipped Strawberries.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I always find myself roasting just into 2nd crack. Maybe I'll come up just a bit short of 2nd crack when I roast some next week.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Exactly. I was about 20-30 seconds after 1st crack ended and just before 2nd crack.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

1/2 lb of each:
Ethiopia Gr1 D.P. Aramo at FC
Sulawesi Toarco Seletan Peaberry at C+
Papua New Guinea at C+
Java Sunda Candra Wulan at FC

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

1lb of Dulcinea Blend from Uncle Beanz. Life has been crazy, I need that extra kick in the morning.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Just a small batch of Tanzania Washed Ruvuma 15+ from Burman's Coffee.

Have a pound of this and about 6 other kinds.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I did a batch of Costa Rican the other day. Barely made it to first crack before the timer ended. Thought I wouldn't have a drinkable batch. Turns out I was wrong. This is the lightest roast I've done so far, but really enjoying it.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

What kind of roaster you use Bob?

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Behmor 1600. Love the unit, but you have to make sure you pick a roast setup that gives you enough time to get where you want. I did 13.3oz on a 1lb setting and still ran out of time. The unit will only allow you to add so much extra.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I do my roasting batches in 8 oz increments. I do that because not every thing I roast do I want roasted light :)

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I've been doing 1lb batches, but with a 2 min pre warmup. Tried the 13.3oz batch size since I'd read on the Behmor forums of someone doing this, on the 1lb setting and it working well. No warmup. Won't do that again. I like having extra time left so I can cut the heat when I want. If there was one change I'd like on the Behmor, it would be a way to let it run as long as you want.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I always roast 12 oz at a time and set for 1# and add the extra time up front. Unless the temp in my garage is rather cool, I never get to that 1:00 mark swearing whether I'm going to hit 2nd crack.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I always use more time too.
Roast 1/4 lb on 1/2 lb setting and anything larger than 6oz. on the 1 lb setting. I just set a timer for about 2-3 minutes before I know when 1st crack will start and then I just sit there and watch (listen) for when I want to stop it.
I never roast larger than 12oz even with a pre-heat. I like having pleanty of time to let it go if it needs it.
I never roast to French. Full City+ is my limit. Most of the time its around Full City.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

have a batch of Kenya Nyeri AB Gatomboya going right now in the old faithful Hottop.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Just bought a SR500 roaster and 5lbs of Jam Blend, :tu imo, much better bang for the buck than the Blu Mtn. which is not what it used to be.:td

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Congrats on the new roaster :cf1

I'm roasting more of the same I did a couple days ago :rolleyes:

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I roasted up a pound of China Organic ManZhog Tian today.

I have never ever had a "Chinese" bean before, I hope it is OK at least. Being they were from Sweet Maria's I have sort of high hopes I may like it :cf1

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

UPDATE on the China Organic ManZhog Tian coffee. It really is a pretty decent coffee bean. I would buy it again.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Roasted a pound of Brazil Mogiana today. Took it well into 2nd crack. A bit too far than I planned. Just have to see how it turned out this weekend. Tried a couple beans whole and they don't taste too bad.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

That is a lot of coffee. How long does that last you?

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I go through about 40 pounds a year.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Rainforest Alliance Brazil.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Balinese,Sumatran,Ethiopian,,,,,,,,,

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

That seems like a long time. I am sure I go though close to that or more. I will have to keep track in 2014, since I will be buying some very soon.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

I go thru about a pound a week for myself, but I probably roast 3-4 times that for friends and family.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Same here. My personal intake has increased since besides my travel mug, I now take a thermos of coffee to work.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Well my quantity used has decreased much since I only drink espresso now. It doesn't need close to the quantity my FP required.
I roast about 3/4 pound a week for myself, that is 39 pounds a year so I would say my estimate was fairly close.
I buy a ten pound bag of greens about every quarter. When I used the FP I would use almost two pounds a week.

Re: What are you roasting today?
 

Busy week for Christmas
1 lb Nicaragua
1 lb Jamaica Blue Mountain
