Dang quakers.

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!

Got it! I'll keep picking

Looks great! Full city?

physiognomy · 03-04-2012, 04:06 PM

About 30secs past the end of first crack... I don't think it made full city (a little uneven surface to the bean), but tasty nonetheless!

BSB · 03-04-2012, 05:05 PM

Roasted a new coffee this morning, Colombia Finca Buenavista - Carlos Imbachi to city+. Cupping on Tues.

I'm gonna be like a kid on Christmas come Saturday. That's when I get home and I can open my shipment from SM's. Wonder what I'll get.

Sweet!

Went far darker than they recommend, but we will see how it tastes.

Try collecting a batch of them and make a cup of coffee form them. Betcha it tastes like crap.

I loved that one. Especially after 4-5 days. It seemed to be better with more rest IMO.

Interesting, I loved it today, with 2

Blak Smyth · 03-07-2012, 07:22 AM

A little lighter than last time, looks great. It is right where I wanted it.

forgop · 03-07-2012, 10:52 AM

Picked up a West Bend Poppery II and then ordered an 8# sampler from Sweet Marias. Let the roasting begin.

Yemen Mokha Ismaili

half City+ - FC, half FC+, this will rest 6 days and be sampled when I get back from Phoenix. I choose Yemen, because it's been said, it really benifits, from extra rest. We will see.
