The coffee that got me going when I started roasting, I bought a crap ton of, and have never seen again. When I found it, I bought it, didn't matter who had it. It was Ethiopia Idido Misty Valley, haven't seen it in years.

Not sure if this is the same Misty Valley, what little research I did indicates that it might be. At any rate, it is absolutely delicious. Never realized coffee could actually taste like blueberries.

And many more fruits, nuts and other yummy flavors

I’m sipping on a blend right now called blueberry muffin and it’s incredibly delicious

I’d love to try roasting but I need a new hobby like I need a hole in my head.

I do love some freshly roasted coffee.
Like fresh tortillas!

Momma, fresh tortillas for soft tacos

Fresh roasted christmas gifts! I ordered 17 lbs of green coffee three weeks ago, I am down to my last 4 pounds. Might have to upgrade some equipment if I keep this pace up. Coffee tour of the world the next couple days with our family and friends. Merry Christmas all!

Just wanted to thank you guys for this thread , finally got me to start roasting coffee, purchased the SR800 after some trial and error I am sitting here drinking the best americano. Ethiopia Honey Genji roasted just to 2nd crack run through the Breaville express.

How has the hobby progressed? I tend to roast less in the summer, when it hits 100 daily I just cant consume as much coffee as I can in fall, winter and spring.

I did a few half pound batches yesterday. A couple new and one old standby of mine from the Dominican Republic. @Steel head once raved about a Guatemalan Antigua from Volcanica coffee roasters. I found some green beans from that area and gave them a try. He wasnt wrong!

thread resurrection:

I was looking into roasting but with my work schedule and number of days away from home, I decided to find a bean roaster in Medellin.
Found a shop a short uber/taxi from the hotel (or an hour walk). Picked up a sealed bag (on the right) to try out in my basic espresso machine I purchased in December. The bag on the left is from Managua Airport (I reluctantly contributed to the Commie Ortega's Economy)

got some bubbles with this grind. (San Sebastian)

This machine is impressive for an amateur coffee/espresso drinker. Using 4 grams of Nicaragua grind per capsule
