Your Favorite Bean to Roast

[novasurf]

I totally love roasting Colombian Excelso. Versatile. Light, dark, don't matter. Still gets delicious results every time. Yours?

I've had pretty good luck with a trio of Brazillians I picked up from ButtWhiskers on the Green coop.

I've only tried a handful of different beans but i must say I've gotten wonderful results roasting Guatemala Antigua both with a popcorn popper and an IRoast :hc

I am quite partial to the Africans, Harar and Kenyan being my favorites. I also am quite taken with Brazilian coffees and most Island coffee.

hey Steve... do you like that Harar Lot 30? I hear that was some pretty tasty coffee? I always knew you were partial to the Africans.

I roasted some Yirg just until the first sign of second crack and like it very much. Not as bright and winey as just after first crack, but very smooth and chocolaty.

I always keep some Costa Rican on hand. Bolivian Organic is still on my list. Also something from CBC called Kauai Kahuna.

BTW, hi. I'm not on much because my work blocks a lot of stuff.

Steve, I gotta find time to call and come over for a smoke after work soon. The weather's getting cooler finally.

AT the moment, Ethiopian Harar-Horse. But, I'm pretty new to this so my experience is limited.

I like roasting Costa Rican beans because they always LOOK so good when they come out of the roaster and, as Billy Crystal often said Argentinian actor Fernando Lamas once said, "It's better to look good than to feel good."

And it tastes marvelous.

:tpd: Although he's really not stupid by any means! Had some La Minita left
over, so I roasted a batch a little while ago. Thought I would combine it with the St. Andrews, in equal amounts, a little later.

It was good, but need to roast the La Minita a little longer, I think. 1 tbs of each (beans), ground and brewed the same way as for the St. Andy's - came off a little weaker, but lots of potential.

So far my favorite bean too roast is India Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold from Sweet Maria’s. After resting for 48 hours and out of a French Press, at Full City +, (as recommend by SM), this coffee had a nice body with a nice hint of dry-roasted peanut notes. The package of beans says makes an interesting espresso. I will have to definitely try this when I go the espresso route (baby steps).

iv only roasted about 10 dif beans so far but im hooked on (brazil FTO poco fundo) and my second fav is (guatamala fraijanes - finca aqua tiba) what a dif from store bought so tasty-- sands
