Classic Ethiopian, roasted to 16.37% water/weight loss (dark medium), in an SR 800 w/extension tube. Roast profile: long buildup from room temperature to 360 degs., settled at 420 degs. for one minute, raised gradually to settle at 490 degs. for two minutes. Cured for eight days and although a darker than I prefer for Ethiopian beans, with a higher weight loss, sill maintained the signature earthy, "berry" flavor sought for in this varietal.

I've only been roasting for a few months, but this bean is just fantastic! I use a Gene Cafe. Preheat to 350 degrees and then put 230-240 grams in. Set timer to 14 minutes at 455. Allow it to develop for a couple of minutes past first crack and then turn temp to 437. Strong and smooth taste and delightful fruity notes. Highly recommend!

This was my second pound of this variety. The first was a gift, and was the first I've ever roasted. As a complete novice, I've been all over the place, too green, too dark (burnt!), too soon after roasting.
I let it cure for 4 days and shared a cup with a friend on a road trip - it was OUTSTANDING.

My "go to" bean for a while now. Just starting to break into the second 10 lb. bag. Roasts well (Poppery I), taken just beyond City, and has a smooth fruity taste. Definitely been a while since I've found a bean like this one!

Makes an awesome cup.
Roasted with a Fresh Roast SR540 till a few seconds after first crack and allowed to go through the roasters pre-programmed cooling process. Finely ground and brewed with a Breville Bambino. 16g in and with a little dialing in, it produced a wonderful shot. Strong notes of berries and sugary goodness. Highly recommend!

A couple grains of salt to take with my comments, I pan roast and I have only recently been experimenting with beans from different origins and processing. When these beans came in I let them sit for a couple days as they had been in hot temps for a couple days during shipping. I loaded them in a stainless steel saucier (of course I overloaded). Kept the temperature low for a slow drying with frequent tossing from the wrist. Once the chaff, which was plentiful, started to release I put the flame up slightly and was a little hard with the toss to allow the chaff to fall outside the pan. When I was convinced the first crack was through and some beans had a second I dropped into my cooling tray. I waited a whole 12 hours before I ground some for a cup in a drip maker. What I tasted was sugar water with a light fruit essence. I let them sit for a few days then brewed in the moka pot. What a wonderful coffee. I get that strong coffee taste and a powerful sweet/tart fruit combination. It doesn't matter what it taste like in a drip brewer(which I plan to try again) these are a great cup in the moka. I just wish I could try them in a proper espresso machine.
