14.375 oz of Colombia Viota Excelso FC - FC+. Roasted beans are resting in a glass mixing bowl de-gassing, and will be ready to brew on Tuesday AM:-)

Of interest, started with a total weight of 17.5 oz of green beans. End results was 14.375 oz of roasted beans.

After each roasting session and while the beans were warm, I popped a couple in my mouth here and there to chew on them. They produced a nice sweet honey essence, with a very lite caramel note in the background...

Sam and Tom, great to see you two in the thread:-)

It's good to be back :-)

Thanks, it's nice to have a coffee roasting thread to share information with other home roasters. Had to clean the Behmor yesterday and I see there is some other maintenance to be done like cleaning the fans. I'm going to roast a batch of Yemen Mokha and then a batch of Java to create a Mokha Java blend later today. Not sure what the mix ratio is, but I will start at 50/50 and go from there. :-)
[Reply]

I usually go with the 50/50 for my Mokha Java :-)

Can anyone recommend some coffee beans to try from Burman Coffee? Or another place?
[Reply]

My last order was from Burman, 5lbs of Brazilian Bob-O-Link and 5lbs of Indonesian Balinese. I see both are currently out of stock, but they have other varieties of each of those.

The half pound of Columbiam Supreme they sent wasn't too bad either.
[Reply]

How long does ten pounds last you?
[Reply]

Burman's is a great source for green coffee. There's so many options; what do you normally drink? What will you be roasting them with?
[Reply]

I don't normally drink one kind. I usually get a sampler or randomly pick some.

Other than looking at my order history from last time, I couldn't tell ya what I had.

I normally order from them or Sweet Maria's.

Check out either of the Papau New Guinea coffees if you like a darker roast and chocolaty cup.
The Mexican Terruņo Nayarita is a great medium bodied coffee.
Guatemala Hue Hue is usually a good full bodied coffee, try their Guatemala Huehuetenango Finca Injertal or the La Esperanza.
And you can never go wrong with an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

Let us know what you order :-)
[Reply]

Here is what I ended up ordering. Thanks for the suggestions.

Guatemalan Huehue Esperanza Hoja Blanco - 1lb
Guatemala Huehue. SHB EP Finca El Injertal - 1lb

Excellent choice :-) Do you blend or just drink single origins?
[Reply]

Depends on if I get off my lazy butt and roast it up. Typically I can go through 12oz of beans in 7-10 days.
