@Nomad As a general rule Roasting should not exceed 20 min to second crack What you are describing is baking

Recently I moved to NE Florida' space coast. I like SM because they give a listing specifically for espresso and often these are supposedly good for roasting to Full City+. I was looking for other suppliers here on the east coast which list there offerings in this way. Do you have any suggestions. Sweet Marias shipping is reasonable but I wish to do a comparison not that I am very serious about dumping SM whose quality is excellent, and reliable Below is an example of their list profiled as "Good for espresso". Scrolling down this list I see roast recommendations for City to Full City and Full City+ even to Vienna. https://www.sweetmarias.com/green-cof...m_status=1 Tim "Espresso is a miracle of chemistry in a cup."

They have an employee, Emmett, who travels around and makes selections for them and I think they do a good job of characterizing them on their site. My wife is the espresso drinker here having spent a lot of time in WA years ago, and we did a pretty comprehensive trial of several Happy Mug SO's and she really loved their Brazil 19+ Vanilla. I roast that up just until shortly after 2nd crack starts at 430Â°F. From your pictures, I'd say yours is maybe a tad darker. I usually try to buy 20 lb at a time because they will ship that for just under $11 and it arrives in a couple days. I have also bought from Sweet Maria's in the past, and still do occasionally, and they also do a great job too. *So many beans; so little time....*

I usually try to buy 20 lb at a time because they will ship that for just under $11 and it arrives in a couple days. I looked that up and I quote, "For espresso, try taking it 10-20 seconds into the 2nd cracks -- just enough to get a spotty oil. Use it anywhere from 40%-100% in your espresso blend. You can take it as far as 40 seconds into 2nd cracks for a stronger espresso in flavored latte beverages but it starts to get more bitter the darker you go" I assume you are not blending. I will give that a shot (pun intended}. Still it is hard to find that without a lot of reading unless assisted by others like yourself. SM has seven countries SO beans listed as "for espresso" but not surprisingly, none from Brazil. Tim "Espresso is a miracle of chemistry in a cup." Andrea Illy

Pounder Posts: 511 Joined: June 15, 2015 Location: Chicagoland	That's interesting. I hadn't seen it before. I like light - medium roasts and tried that for my wife's espresso. It was a lot harder to grind fine and she hated the taste. So noticing the rather marked difference between the color of that ant the Lavazza she was drinking, I went in steps up to 430Â°F and start of 2nd crack, and all of a sudden we discovered that my Yirgacheffe was now palatable to her. So that profile was the basis of an evaluation of something like 8 SO's in double-blind taste testing (where we also considered inter-rater reliability) and that is how we settled on the Brazil 19+ vanilla. She likes that better than Lavazza Super Crema which was, in turn, a major improvement over the Charbucks espresso blend she had been used to for a long time. We've gone back and forth occasionally re-confirming this and the Brazil 19+ vanilla always wins for her. *So many beans; so little time....*
