SM has a couple nice ones, the Dry Hulled Aceh Bukit and the Tarbarita Peaberry.
Roasted a pound each, of the Aceh Bukit, and Colombia Guteirrez Micro, and sent to a friend.

Very nice. I plan on roasting some of that next weekend, depending on how much I have left by then.

I have overroasted some Bolivian Beneficio Buenaventura Lot 45 to a LV-V roast that I finally started drinking. It's not bad but I didn't want to roast it quite so much.

I also ended up overroasting some El Salvador Majajual - Tablon La Montana. Also probably LV-V. Ugh.

I need to turn my heat down some I think.

Remove what? I am missing something here.
Quakers? What are quakers?

Mr B 12:17 PM 01-31-2012
They are the super light brown, almost Tan colored beans. They often times can add a bad or sour taste to the cup.

ApexAZ 01:35 PM 01-31-2012
I think I remember reading that they are beans that weren't fully ripe when picked. Is this true?

Mr B 02:46 PM 01-31-2012
Yes, that is true. Check out the Glossary in the Library on the Sweet Marias page. Very helpful.

Being OC, I pick out everything that doesn't look right. Including the quakers, underroasted and scorched. I use the max amount of beans in the FR, so I get a few scorched, every roast.

Roasted Moka Kadir last night, it smells amazing.
I gotta say this is the best smelling roast so far, not perfectly even roast though.
Can't wait to try it this weekend!

That is one of my favorite blends. You won't get that even of a roast, with the pre-roast blending of different coffees. Not usually anyways. There is gonna be some difference between the different kinds of beans. Also, if memory serves me well (and it often doesn't :-)) there should be a fairly good amount of quakers in that blend.

I pulled out about three quakers of a 1/3 pound.
Man the aroma alone has me excited!:-)

Brazil Cerrado Fazenda No-Name-O I did this 2 tone, half city+ for the nuttiness, half FC+ for the chocolate. Chocolate covered nuts sounded good to me :-) First cupping on Sunday.
