The Formosa will work nicely in many directions. I like it because it doesn't get ashy as you move towards 2nd crack. B|Java |

Hi all: I just recently ordered my first greens from Invalsa and roasted a half pound of their Cumbre (AAA) Bolivian right up to the second crack- this coffee is exactly as they describe - I brewed it in my French Press and it is a combination of dark chocolate and red wine. They recommend a dark roast (I assume FC+) and I got to second crack in about 17 minutes. Still finding it hard to hear second crack on my Gene Cafe and going more with time, sight and smell. I usually get real close to second crack about 4 to 41/2 minutes after C1. Anyhow, it's a rich brew and will most likely make some sweet espresso in a couple of days- Edited by Marshall_S on 04/23/2009 4:34 PM Marshall Schmidt

Ordered from ourcoffeebarn and roasted up a small batch of Ethiopian FTO Sidamo. Definately smelled the blueberries when I hit first crack (9:30 @ 402F) and pulled it at 14:30 @ 425F. Can't wait to try it in an espresso blend. |

I'm thinking it's the Shanta Golba tonight. Plan is moderate heat to get even yellowing, then crank it to about 390F, level off into 1st crack, then cruise slowly a few degrees per minute to a nice City+... and I'm off...

Working on a new espresso blend tonight. 40% Brazil Moreninha Formosa in the Behmor on P3 hitting cool at 8 seconds in to SC, 20% Idido Misty Valley Organic on P1 to City+, 20% Sumatra Classic Mandheling on P1 10 seconds in to SC, and 20% Colombia San Augustin on P1 just shy of second. I'll let you know next week how it came out.

Today will be 2 roasts of 2 pounds each, to FC+ of Invalsa's Cumbre Supremo, Exceptional (A4) a Bolivian peaberry. (wife and I decided to splurge, got 66# for 2009/2010 @ $3.99/pound) It was prepared for 2006 COE (which was cancelled) by vacuumed packing.

Lots and lots to roast this weekend. This is one of those beautiful spring days i wish I roasted outdoors. In any event, already roasted is Yemen Mokha Mattari, Costa Rica Helsar, Brazil Moreninha Foremosa, El Salvador Yellow Bourbon and Costa Rica Don Mayo Bourbon. Next, I'll compile a list to roast for myself - maybe after I get some hammock time in first. John Respect the bean.

Brazil Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza Celso/Hamilton I'm so excited about this one. I was on the edge of buying a big bag just based on the description. Thankfully my better senses told me 5lbs would say more than a few words would. I just took it from 1st @ 394F to 434F over the course of 5minutes after 4 minutes in the 300's. First sniff out of the roaster is lumber and toast....hopefully it develops a bit! edit: After a few hours, the beans took on more black current. In the cup this morning was orange peel chocolate and sage with a silky body, a brief snap of acidity followed by smooth sweetness. So nice!
