Just roasted BJ's EastTimor this morning. It is fantastic Love at first sip.

Also roasted PNG and Peru 1/2 # of each for the coming week or until finished,which I think will happen first.


Special treat. I roasted my first 1/2 # of the Panama Gesha -- from SM. Near the award winning site on the farm. Lot # 5 for starters. I am looking forward to trying it tomorrow. I did it three minutes after the start of first crack for a medium roast. iI cant't wait ffor tomorrow and permission to taste. This is more fun than a human being should be allowed and loving every minute of it.Shock :Clap:

You are quite welcome Ray; glad you are enjoying them in the high desert. I am buried in Hawaiians so I didn't get to the Timors. Next week.

Did you catch any chocolates at that level? I got mainly a very clean citrus at city plus but I do want to go more deeply to see if I can find a chocolate in there.

Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Mentally, I had you along the I-15 corridor from LA to Vegas. Just looked it up on the map and see where you are at.

I will buy a Gene as soon as my credit card balances will allow. This Forum has become my school for roasting and cupping so I may as well use the same equipment as others. I think I can learn faster this way and obtain repeatable roasts. I have read BJ's discussion threads on COFFEE FORUMS as a thread on the relative merits of the Gene and the Behmor and I am won over.

I plan to steadily march up the learning curve as best as my abilities will allow. Thanks Everybody for your teachings :Clap: ThumbsUp :BowDown:

That Honduras Marcala is great coffee!

Red Sea Blend (Center, Top) for the first time yesterday - very uneven at a Full City roast... is that normal?

Also the standby Bolivian (Lower Left, Full City) plus... after 2.5 months, Zephyr finally remembered to ship me some Guat Huehue El Injerto (Lower Right, City+). I roasted that, too. (they forgot to send the Sumatra Old School that I also requested, but whom am I to complain?)

CHAD,

It is a blend and I've found the roast of the Red Sea Blend to also be somewhat inconsistant. However, give it plenty of rest and you'll love the cup. I take it City ++

I just roasted my first batch of the Rwanda COE distroed by B/J. I took it to French for the espresso machine. A little bird told me it is a WONDERFUL espresso? I'll let you know the end of the week. Jim

The Red Sea Blend is all natural process-- 2/3 Ethiopian beans, 1/3 Yemen. Both of these origins roast up somewhat unevenly, as do most dry process African/Arabian coffees.
 
mkaderabek
Nicaragua Matagalpa Pacamara PB
Nicaragua, Finca El Limoncillo, Maragogipe
Mexico, Chiapas, Organic
And perhaps a pot of Java Estate for good measure.

I do like the central and South American coffees.

Sumatra Tangse Rhino--one of the better Sumatras I bought last year. Hopefully this one measures up.

Sumatra Takengon Classic
Ethiopia Organic Dry-Process Birbissa

The Sumatra is resting now ... can't wait to give it a try!

An espresso machine importer distributor wants to try my roasts and see the roaster
So I roasted some batches of
PNG Wahgi AA
Kenya Ritti AA
Sumatra Blue Lintong

Thats all for now but I will roast a nice South American bean to include as part of the demo/tasting next week

Guatemala Oriente Dry Process!
Been waiting for awhile to roast this one!
 
John Despres
Ooooh, that Oriente D-P is a stunning cup of coffee! Fruity, very full body.

Take it to FC - FC+ and you'll be delighted! And if you're not, send the rest to me and I'll be delighted. One of us should be, anyway.
:trink25:

I think I'll roast some of that as well...
