What are you roasting today?

Did a couple more batches today to keep fine tuning the technique. Much better results.

Some SM's Brazilian No-Name-O just into 2nd crack (FC+ if I read their descriptions right). Can't wait to try this come Wednesday.

Before the Brazilian, I sacrificed some Burundi, letting it go all the way into 2nd crack. I wanted to see how long it took. Started around the 7:30 mark for 2nd crack and kept going for some time. I don't think it'll be drinkable, but you never know. I"m not throwing it away yet.

I wouldn't discard the 2nd one so fast. Looks just like how I roast my Brazilian beans, although I don't have experience with Barundi.

Some of Sweet Maria's roasting notes would lead you to believe that 2nd crack is some horrible mistake and should be avoided.

I completely disagree and usually go 20 seconds into second crack on the blends I like to roast.

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.

What brewing method would you suggest? I currently have a FP, Moka pot and a Mukka pot.
