Just in case its a crappy roast, Here's something to hopefully ease the minds of anyone in the swap who's fearful of possibly sending out a less than stellar roast. Even most "crappy" roasts are miles ahead of what's typically available down at the local "specialty coffee" house up the road. So, if any of us happens to get a mediocre batch of Holiday Swap beans, we're still getting pretty darn decent coffee. Also, to stay in the spirit of the Holidays, if you happen to end up with coffee that tastes like it came out of a wet ash tray, feel free to just thank the other person for the gesture within the forum and keep constructive negative criticism private. Enjoy the Holiday Swap and the Christmas Holidays! Allen That is all. Well Thanks Jon! I really appreciate best post award.

I am currently tasting the 2 I am sending and 1 is ok, but I will have to try the other again, I may have screwed up the brewing. Yes, I guess you are right, miles above the commercial roasts. But, what does commercial roast taste like now days? Ken in NC -------------- Backwoods Roaster "I wish I could taste as well as I wish I could roast."

Administrator Posts: 3776 Joined: February 23, 2010	Found a very aromatic package on my doorstep this afternoon. After opening the package I had chocolate and blueberries all over the house, wow! So I immediately measured out around 11 grams of Rich's Yirgacheffe Konga and did a traditional cupping of it. Dry fragrance was off the chart cuban cigar, dark chocolate and blueberries. Wet aroma was similar but with much more intensity. Taste did not disappoint and produced what the aroma told me it should cup like. Very intense chocolate and blueberry notes with a super rich syrupy body. Another nice thing about the roast was the total absence of astringency which some Yirgs display if rushed after first crack. Rich, thanks for an excellent holiday swap coffee to enjoy through my time off! 1/2 lb and 1 lb drum, Siemens Sirocco fluidbed, presspot, chemex, cajun biggin brewer from the backwoods of Louisiana

1/4 Pounder Posts: 60 Joined: September 22, 2013	Allen, Thanks much for the kind words and assessment (although I'm not sure cigar in coffee is a good thing). I'm going to go roast some more and see if I can taste any of that. Do you have any suggestions as to how I might roast this batch differently? Some people have a Symphony of taste buds to access with, I think I got a recorder. Thanks, Rich

Do you have any suggestions as to how I might roast this batch differently? Rich, no cigar ended up in the tasting, only aroma/fragrance which is not a negative and I find this in many African coffees. The cigar aroma reference is not a lit cigar but is walking into a humidor with lots of fine high end cigars on the shelves which to me is a wonderful sensory experience. Suggestions? To me, at the roast level you hit, I wouldn't have any idea how it could be improved but for a variation, I would take it a bit lighter to add some additional acidity for more of that Ethiopian wine-like character. Oh, thanks for the bag of unroasted Yirg as well! Allen 1/2 lb and 1 lb drum, Siemens Sirocco fluidbed, presspot, chemex, cajun biggin brewer from the backwoods of Louisiana
