Never heard of them Shane, but then I'm still just getting into this craft.

Going to a local farmers market tomorrow morning. Germack nut company has their new store up and running and has a section dedicated to just coffee. I heard they have green coffee too. Gonna check it out.

Colombia Tolima - Einar Ortiz Microlot, with just about 30gr. of Felix Guzman micro, to fill it out. I was just that much short. One is lemony, the other very sweet. Looking forward to cupping on Tues.

Has anyone ever re-roasted as in a batch was lighter than you desired and wanted to go darker after tasting how it turned out?

I asked the same thing about... ehh.. Couple months back. No. I was told you can't and shouldn't do it.

I went with what was answered and didn't. If you have time, There are better reason in the back pages and to why. I asked in this thread.. Not sure what page or even close.

This is a good answer with a good reason.
Hope this helps.

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."

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

Yah, if you e-mail them they send you an up to date price sheet.

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

Cupping tomorrow. It roasted real pretty

Chainsaw13 · 04-03-2012, 05:51 PM

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.

Garbandz · 04-05-2012, 03:59 PM

http://www.thetaridgecoffee.com/ I got their price list,there is a surcharge if you buy less than a bag full. $.45 /lb on 10 lb and up,$.65 /lb under 10 lb.
That said,there is a shipping charge to consider.
I would like to try several of their beans,some new items on me...........

Well they just sent me a sampler of 4 different beans for free.

Roasting:

Kenya AA Oaklands
Harrar G4
Sumatra Lintong
Taina and Negrita

ThetaRidge is top shelf. They buy exclusively from a vendor I use in NYC.

forgop · 04-05-2012, 08:38 PM

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!!!

Blak Smyth · 04-06-2012, 07:37 AM

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