Will do. It looks darker in person than in the pic. I'm really looking forward to it. If it is good you'll be receiving a little sample!!!

I don't think you can reroast. If it isn't dark enough for you, try less beans on your next roast.

I will do some more tonight. Any advice on back to back roasting? Should I give the machine a cool down in between? or 2 roast back to back good enough?

I haven't done any back to back without cleaning it first. My machine leaves so much chaff behind I don't wanna use it again without cleaning it first. When I remove my chamber there is much chaff down on the heating element it may very well be a fire hazard to run back to back.

Hey Garry, use those lighter beans to blend in w/ your darker roasts. I do it all the time. Put 10-20% of the lighter beans in w/ 80-90% darker beans in the grinder. Its a nice way to add back in some of the Fruity, Berry, Citrus, floral notes that get roasted away in the darker roasts.

Well I had a good comment from SteelCityBoy about my last roast, maybe it is starting to come together. I have not been happy with it yet though.

I am no coffee expert for sure but I drink plenty of it and I can tell you that your roast sample you gave me was very good! Here is the best description I can offer:

I used a coffee press on the first bit I brewed last evening. It was very dark almost tar-like. Very velvety and smooth texture. Not bitter at all. Had a great smooth flavor profile that just tasted great! I would love to try some of this with an LP9!

I thought it was very well done Shane! Take it for what it is worth though as this is the first time I have ever tried home made coffee roast.

Damn you got that dark. Maybe because I bought my roaster used but I fill to the dark line everytime now and set it for 30 and it never gets that dark. Maybe My roaster is tired.
