Coffee tastes flat

Well, i roast some coffee (100g), i try to rise the temp from 130c to 215c every min or so, with FC around 9m30sec and 12min end of roast. Waiting 2 days for the coffee to degas, but in the cup it tastes blunt. What am i doing wrong?

So you should bring FC in the 6-7 minutes ballpark, and finish in the minute 8-10. Degassing is for espresso mainly, cupping is performed usually hours after roast and find there all the flavors, and some of them will vanish after three days of storage.

My Ethiopian smells like citrus, my Brazilian smells like chocolate. They both taste the exact same. Ethiopian first crack at about 6:15 pulled at around 7:45. Brazilian was a 12oz sample roasted in an artisan 2.5 so fc at 5:15-5:30 and finished at 8:15.. just frustrating that all I am tasting is basically a hit of acid in dirty water, not at all a good cup. I've tried every brewing method but cold. Ethiopian is now 9 days old, smell has gotten better all along but the flavor hasn't changed very much.
