Ha, you can be late chadskie...

this time it's not me!!

all of mine went out this am. considering the time for shipping I roasted yesterday morning so the rest would be 4 plus days depending on the USPS!!

9/19/2010 at 9am your coffee was carefully fire roasted for your enjoyment.
you each will receive approx 20 grams so you can try it more then once.

I included in the small box a sample of the bags I use for my 1lb and sample coffee and if anyone needs any simply email me.

you guys rock, you are awesome and this will be great fun and learning since I am not a great cupper but i do taste the flavors in my coffee.

thanks,

I just went to the PO, and shipped all of my beans.

I roasted last night, and everyone got 15 grams of my beans.

I will probably cup a little of the leftover's in a couple days, and see how it came out.

Have absolutely no idea how these beans will cup. First attempt I stalled the roast right at first crack, dropping 10F bean temp Shock Second attempt I was more cautious... too cautious? Munch shows promise, but this was a bad time to switch to the new roaster.

Ship tomorrow. I'll have the profile available, but won't include it with the beans - more guessing.

Shipped out this morning. $1.22 per envelope (I packed same as last time), with one exception...

Allen Bartee, come on down! You're the next winner of the 'Price is Higher'! You got the lucky $1.39 envelope.

(Now... where'd my knife go?)

I just used the small boxes I ship marbles in; I still kept the price 1.90 or under by putting in only 1 of each bag for you guys.

I was thinking the same, one of my early roasts came out very nicely, with a good, ethiopian blueberry taste.

But, I have been experimenting with my roaster (my arduino project), and I'm not sure that I was able to recreate that early roast.

BTW, I shipped in a padded envelope, $1.05 per to ship, plus 50 cents for the envelope.

Roasted this morning and bubble mailers going out shortly.

I think I may have hit a decent roast this morning.

My roast was a tad darker then I wanted, just a peek no more.

I roasted yesterday about 9am; I always try the roast the next morning or when I roast it depending on the time and if I remember I roasted!!

This morning cafe crema was a creamy cup. This roast has not rested enough yet but I don't care I had 3 cremas!

One I put sugar and 1/2&1/2 in and I felt like I had a marshmallow sliding down, very good.

We will see; I will post day two rest in the m.

marbles, yes I sell on eBay when I have time.

FRIDAY??!!? No way, Dude...

Okay... I won't be able to cup until Sunday, so there's a buffer day for you, Sean.

Mine are in the hands of the USPS at a cost of $1.39 each. A fair price, I think.

YEAH! No culling the roast! Brew 'em as they arrive.

Now, 'fess up... Who culled their roast before they sent them out?

I did, but it was a stone I took out and about 6 gray beans.

I roasted on Sunday and shipped today so I guess mine will be a day older than most of the roasts.

I did the 4" x 7" bubble envelopes, postage was $1.05 each. Can't remember what the envelopes cost.

COFFEE CONFESSIONS

Ok, you got me. I pulled (out of 8 oz roasted) about 8 beans that looked like they were part of King Tuts tomb exiibit but maybe a tad bit uglier, very pale, almost cream white. Had a rock and one piece of what looked like a large pop corn in the roast before but no foreign objects to cull on this roast.

I took 2 rocks out, no beans. With the longer dry time, and a slightly darker roast (looking for sweetness), the roast was much more even.

6 more volunteers for Allen's firing squad?

Hey, wait a minute!

If I'd taken em to a good dark french roast I would of probably left the Tut beans in there.

No 2nd crack, but it was in the 430s. I yield.
