Have you established a roast level with the Sidamo that makes it shine. I don't want to screw it up on a test roast.

Thanks Sean!

Sean,

How many degrees past first snaps of 1C?

Time from fist snaps of 1C to finish?

Is your 420 F with the Sidamo a fairly light roast?


Sorry for the inquisition but that would help me dial things in.

first snaps of FC start between 398 and 402.
i generally keep the same 10 degress per minute from 360 right on through to the finish.
the roast ends up city to city +

Scott- very cool foil stamp! You make those yourself?


That's red-neck custom using a local engraver, on magnesium plate, with an old iron as a heat source.
Fill it, seal it, then press.

I'm hoping to distract you with dazzle...in case the coffee tastes like doo-doo. -Scott

What do you mean by "FC+"?

Full City Plus. I like my roast at that degree best, but then I haven't tasted my comparison roast yet. I'm saving that for a blind entry with all the rest of them this weekend.

Hey, Scott, I submitted doo-doo coffee last time. I even rated my own at the bottom in blind cupping... Yuck. One guy wouldn't even drink it! He culled my offering after smelling the wet grounds...Results are here http://forum.home...wstart=150 And this came shortly after doing well in the homeroasters competition Jim Schuman put together last fall... http://www.home-b...13074.html So within about 2 months I did pretty well and got a sound thrashing... It's all FUN, though!

I thought you were saying you roasted very light, Full City +. I understand you had TWO roasts! Nice.

Humility is the door to learning. I'm ready for whatever comes. I must admit..this bean has me a bit stumped.
I will learn something, and have some fun.
...It's all good.
I'm watching for your beans. Are you in the U.P. ?

John Despres
Scott, nope, I'm a troll and live in the mitten (under the bridge), Grand Rapids.

CHAD, yeah, I roasted a FC+, liked it, but tried a C/C+ roast which I sent out... I think I'm in for another thrashing. I roasted about 8 batches and I sill don't think I've gotten the hang of this bean...

I'm very excited to try everyone's offerings.

I couldn't wait and roasted a 1/4lb batch of your Sidamo yesterday using my standard profile in my air roaster. This is probably one of the best roasts I've had in the last 6 months! Made for a perfect Saturday morning cup!

Thanks for thinking about us and I hope this coffee is available in the future.

Thanks, Ginny!

I'll have a couple other folk with me as well. All three dimensional works. I'm staying away from flat art for the most part as I want a clean wall to show my mobiles against.

This was a long time coming. I've been cleaning out my studio and turning it into a gallery once a year and then reversing it after three days and putting all my works in storage where they couldn't be seen. Now they're out all the time. In addition, I will be the featured artist in the Grand Rapids On The Town magazine. Maybe my time has come.. It takes ten years to become an overnight success.
