There is a great, peanutty aroma, coming from the beans today, very excited, very excited!

I`ve been using my Westbend Poppery 2 for 2 yrs now.
I put in 6 to 8 ozs. in a measuring cup, depending on the density of the beans.
It was 60 in Philly yesterday, i roasted 1 1/2 lbs. of Ethiopian Yir.

I roasted some El Salvador Majahual -Tablon La Montana to Full City + on Saturday. I can't wait to drink it. Just now finishing up the last of the Satpura Fold blend.

Mr B · 02-28-2012, 11:45 AM

Try blending it w/ about 2/3 Papua New Guinea at FC/FC+. It makes a great blend

ApexAZ · 02-29-2012, 05:44 PM

Roasted the second half of my Ethiopia Limu Jimma - Alaga Sekala. Was shooting for city + but it looks more like full city I guess.

Looks good Brian, that one bean catches my eye though. You know the one. If it is anything like my camera phone it doesn't look like that in real life though.

BSB · 03-01-2012, 09:32 AM

I see a few beans I'd pull out of there, but that's just me.
Roasted some Guatemala Genuine Antigua Covadonga to FC. From Klatch.

There were even lighter ones I chucked. The others I wasn't quite sure on.

Ethiopians tend to have a range of colors. It is good to get rid of those true quakers though. The Real light tan ones.

BSB · 03-01-2012, 06:45 PM

I'm just very picky

Yeah, that one bean in paticulure, you see it, right?

ApexAZ · 03-02-2012, 10:22 AM

Dang quakers.

physiognomy · 03-02-2012, 06:04 PM

I'm going to roast some of the El Salvador beans I got from Klatch last month... I haven't decided which one yet, but probably the Pepinal 1

I don't usually bother doing anything with them... Imho, they don't change the flavor enough to worry unless there are a lot of really light beans.

How could you possibly know that?

And it's not really hard or time consuming. I don't get it.

I'll make sure to take them out when you come over for a cup, Bob

I've just found that (to my taste) the one or five beans that end up two shades lighter (I'm not talking about the beans that just don't roast) don't really make much of a difference in a 1/2lb lot. I've left them in for a couple of cups/pots and then picked them out for the remainder plenty of times... Not enough difference (to my tastes), so I've given up worrying unless they are still yellow or really light brown.

People who know better than me say that you need to take out any abnormal beans post-roast for the best flavors. I'm not suggesting anyone do otherwise & agree that they are right... Just sharing that it doesn't seem to make much difference to me. YMMV

I just roasted 1/2lb of El Salvador Las Mercedes Pepinal 1... Smells fantastic, so I'm looking forward to tomorrows cup!
