These African beans have been surprising. I generally expect bright floral/fruit flavors. This special illuminated beans that are different from what I considered the norm for Africa. The one I roasted yesterday has been my favorite of this batch.
My favorite bean was one I roasted 3 years ago when I started. I don't have the name, but I don't know if it matters. The coffee tasted a bit like graham crackers. It was like having a donut with your coffee... without the donut! For reference I use a Behmor to roast. |

Roasted a batch of Colombian Supremo today in the Behmor. Did this one out in the garage, instead of the basement. Had to use a heavy duty extension cord, which may have robbed it of power. It was a 13.3oz batch, used P2, C and added a minute. It started first crack around 1:40 left. After cool down it still looked really light to me. I read once in the Behmor forum about double roasting. Figured what the heck. Cleaned it out, set back up and ran on P1, A for another 10:30. Color is nice and chocolate brown. Smells good. We'll see in a couple days.

I roasted a lb of Guatemala Huehuetenango El Turbante. Half roasted to full city plus, half over roasted to light vienna. Should make for a decent espresso. I've never had a blend of different roasts so I'm excited to try it.

Today I'll be roasting a pound of Columbia Tiana de Huila from Sweet Marias. The description says Malted caramel-vanilla, brown sugar, plum, and raisin. Viscous cup, notes of cinnamon and milk chocolate.
Sounds like a hearty cup! I'll be happy to be done with the Guatemala Huehuetenango El Turbante I over roasted. I didn't get into this to produce Charbucks flavored coffee =/. |

Back at roasting the India Monsooned Malabar to full city.
Question to anyone who roasts this bean: Have you ever taken it to Vienna? If so, how do you like it vs. Full City? |

I have some of the Yemen Mokah on the way. Igot the India Monsooned about 2-3 years ago and did not like it no matter how it was roasted. I tried FC thru Vienna. I did not try lighter though. Probably should have. I gave it away. Just no my tastes I guess. I have not found many that I don't like.

14.375 oz of Colombia Viota Excelso FC - FC+. Roasted beans are resting in a glass mixing bowl de-gassing, and will be ready to brew on Tuesday AM
![]() Of interest, started with a total weight of 17.5 oz of green beans. End results was 14.375 oz of roasted beans. After each roasting session and while the beans were warm, I popped a couple in my mouth here and there to chew on them. They produced a nice sweet honey essence, with a very lite caramel note in the background...
