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

Just roasted small batches of El Salvador SHG Bourbon, City roast, 12:00 to 420F - and Burundi Bwayi, City+, 14:00 to 435F. Each roast had first crack about 10:00 into the roast.

Now, to wait.

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-

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.

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!

A Couple of weeks ago I did a back to back roast on a sunny afternoon

500 gr Ethiopian Harrar Longberry
500 gr PNG Wahgi AA

The Harrar is the advance roast for a Hybrid Mocha Java blend as it needs quite a few days to rest and degas
Call me a mad scientist but
I will try to blend it with PNG Jiwaka Peaberry just to see what the outcome will be

Royal Coffee's Colombia Organic Don Telmo Reserva Bourbon from the CK auction arrived at the doorstep yesterday! I blasted my first roast attempt thru first crack (8:45~10:30) to the first snaps of second at 13:30, cooled and it's resting in the cupboard!
