If you are aware of any in-stock greens with noticeable berry fruity flavors, please post them here! I haven't found a good one for quite some time. Thanks, CHAD Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster

Me neither - I just had some Happy Mug and Theta beans that I had hoped would give me some of that fruity nectar but alas, nothing notable. I need some fruit bombs! |

My Sidamo has been driving me NUTS! The first time I roasted it, it had the STRONGEST tastes of blueberry I ever had, and I thought I had found my new favourite, and I loved it so much... but my batches are only 110g, so it was gone in a few days. My notes say I dropped it at 427F, so I tried dropping at 425F and next batch... tasted very different, like I had taken it much darker??! huh? so I took the 3rd batch to 427F again, and... it was good, but tasted again like I had taken it into very dark territory when I plainly had not. However, I noticed a very distinct smell of blueberries early, when it was near 422F (I normally hit 2C near 445F on this TC), so my NEXT batch will drop at near 421-422F and we'll see. This bean is turning out to be very picky... but good when I get it right. |

After reading this thread, I noticed that the question has arisen in my mind as to whether there are berry fruits (other than coffee) that have distinct hints of coffee flavor; blueberries, currants, cranberries, grapes, tomatoes, bananas, and so on. It would seem that if some coffee had distinct elements of fruity berry flavor, then maybe the reverse could be true as well.
So many beans; so little time.... |

Just roasted this Sidamo Guji. It was 2015 crop that arrived in May 2016, so I misread. But, it tastes so nice. Preheat 425 5min 300F at 3:48 400F at 7:13 406F first crack 430F 10:28 end Still heard outliers of 1C. Grounds smell heavenly with kiwi, pear, floral. Break crust to berries and flowers. Sipping hot is mulled, spiced berry cider, medium body, crisp acidity, long finish reminds me of an international spice market. Now that the cup is cool, it tastes like jasmine herb tea. I will buy some more. This is good news, because it means I can still roast coffee alright, if the coffee is good. http://www.onlyco...frica.html CHAD Edited by seedlings on 09/17/2016 5:04 PM Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster

Hahahahaha, we must be thinking alike! I literally am just in the door from roasting about 4 batches tonight (I roast outside due to not having made a chaff collector... yet): The Sidamo acted strange, it had a very muted, very tentative 1C that went slowly and was spread out. I played with the temp, and got only a little over 2 minutes of flavor development; I dumped it early, at 421-422F. Took out a bean while cooling it and munched on it; mmmmmm, blueberries! yay!! I'm drawing a small tasting cup of pourover right now :) |

Oh, in case you are curious, the Ethiopian Agaro was dumped at 425F, the Esperanza was taken to 2C + 20 seconds or so (rolling), I didn't bother getting a termination temp for that one, I just time the guats for 2C plus xx seconds... For the Sidamo... sipping it now; berries galore, pear, scented floral heavy in my nose... smokey finish. mmmmm, good cup! Edited by walt_in_hawaii on 09/26/2016 2:37 AM |

Charcoal, its from Happy Mug. Good price, too... but they don't tell you what plantation, only the region. Finicky bean, its the lightest roast I've done so far of any bean I can remember, but excellent taste! |
