I placed a sampler order from Theta Ridge today, I will keep everybody posted as to how it goes. Their prices are much, much less than SM. I intend to find a good sample and purchase a 10lb order of it.

A couple answers from Ashtonladies link:

"Once coffee beans have cooked and cooled, they can't be cooked more. Roasting temperature profiles and sequences make a big difference in how the coffee ultimately tastes. Sorry."

"I've read at COFFEEGEEK.COM that it's a method practised regularly by the Swiss and it gives the coffee a different character."

"No, you cannot roast beans a second time and expect the oils to be their best. If oil is on the surface of the bean, i would assume a scorching effect. Never done it though; so I'm just assuming.

"What I would do is put the beans away for a week; this should make the coffee a little bit stronger. I would also use a french press then too- much better flavor intensity."

My friend that got me first into drinking home roasted coffee uses them and buys 75lb bags. He raves about the company.

Shane, did you email them for prices? I was just looking on the site and didn't see any listed.

Did a couple batches today. Some SM's Liquid Amber Espresso blend and they're Sumatra Lintong Tano Batak.

The odd thing about my first batch of the Sumatra, I didn't get a first crack. One loud pop around the 3:45 mark, but nothing after. Took it to what I'm guessing was city ++, maybe even FC. Did another batch and got the normal cracking for a period of time. Strange.

I just roasted a pound of the Ethopia Illubaor-Camp Cooperative from SM's.

I sure as hell don't understand any of this full city to FC+, but I sure as hell know I roasted it darker than my last roast.

I don't know what the roast would come out to be as I roasted the whole pound for 6-1/2 to 7 minutes in my "official" SM's recommended West Bend Poppery II, but the Ethopian stuff I roasted last night and drinking this morning is AWESOME!!!

I roasted the Dettera Bourbon last night, it smells amazing!
If it tastes anything like it smells, this may be my first 10lb order!
