I roasted this coffee on my SR 500 until it was dark and shinny, when brewed its bold and great tasting.

I have been roasting coffee beans for several years, started when the wife and I started getting acid stomachs. So I bought green CBC beans I use a Victoria S.S popcorn popper, I tried the aluminum one didn't think it was healthy. I can roast my beans as dark as we like and get great flavor every time, We have not had any more acid problems. My last purchase was 25 lb of CBC beans last month will hold out for a couple of months. I also boil my beans on the stove in a porcelain pot like cowboy's did. When my wife gets that first sip she says she grew up on coffee like that type. I hope everyone stocks up I did due to the Covid-19. And to keep the coffee Bean corral in business. Right price with great taste. How everybody enjoys and be careful. Jack

Part of the sample pack and I used it to learn more about my Hottop K2+. I liked the sample enough to buy another pound. I experimented at different roast levels and liked it best at City+. We ground the coffee at different settings for a pour over and an Aeropress. Good taste all around. Great body and mild acidity. This blend is now part of our rotation and what I gift to friends. Planning on buying more in the future. Cheers! Davecx

This is a review of the Big Black CBC Organic Blend. 1st I am a novice at roasting. I use a 3.5 QT Cast Iron Lodge Fryer. I set it on a cold electric burner and turn the Burner on to 6 (out of 10) and let burner and pan heat for 10 minutes. I roasted 8 oz for 20 minutes (near the end of 2nd Crack (i think)) Nice oily dk roast. I let it rest for 2 days. Made coffee in an aeropress with 48 grams of semi fine grind (Hario Conical Burr Grinder) Added 195 degree water about half way up and stirred for the bloom,,, glad I did cause it bloomed more than I am used to, This ultimately made a mug (16 oz) of coffee.... taste was what i wanted, bitter, earthy w/a hint of sweetness... but so smoooooth, no acidic kick. I wont commit to this as my go to bean....cause there are just so many beans to try,,, I will keep buying from CBC!

Good flavor and body. We drink a half-caf and it's a good for the caffeinated part of the blend. Using a popcorn popper, 1st crack at 3:20 minutes stop at 7:00 yielding a full city roast, just before 2nd crack. Wait at least 2 days before enjoying. Chaff starts in a few seconds.
