Picked up a pound of this from the coffee bean corral (http://www.coffeebeancorral.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=HOLIDAY%20BLEND). Im still waiting to complete my SCCO, but I couldnt wait, so roasted a lil batch of it in my pooper. 8 minutes and shut it down just at the hint of second crack. I let it rest for a day and brewed it up this morning. Pretty decent coffee, low acidity and not too fruity. It left me wanting a little more depth but I think that might come when I roast it a lil slower.

If they don't run out in the near future I'll probably order another couple pounds with the next run:tu





Just my newbie:2

On the one hand, I'm interested in the details of your technique...on the other hand...
