I’m using a iKawa Roaster 100gram capacity to roast these beans. I am unable to tweak the temperature on the spot so I have to use a few grams as the test bed. Initially it heats up to 500° F then drops to 350° F, with a climb to 458°F. The roast ends at 7 minutes. Roast comes out somewhat chocolatey and a hint of some mild fruit. Not quite light and fruity as I want. I am by no means a pro at roasting. I hope i can nail it one day. I enjoy my freshly roasted coffee In The morning.

Roasted just short of 2c, a couple minutes past 1c, on a Fresh Roast SR 800 with Razzo extension. Final roast time 8:10 with bean temp 428. I am a big fan of Ethiopians but this one was just a little short of flavor. I rank it at above supermarket coffee though. It seems like a pretty dense, heavy bean and I'll try roasting it to 2c next time in the search for the best flavor in the cup. Its a pretty good cup now, but I wanted it to really impress me. lol

UPDATE:
I found that brewing this bean of the same roast level at a lower water temp improves the taste a lot. I used 87c temp instead of my usual hotter temp. Pretty good, but still lacks a lot of the expected fruitiness. Pretty good daily drinker though.

Using a Fresh Roast 540, I had uneven results. Going for a lighter roast, gradually bringing the temp up to 405ish, with mid crack at just shy of 8 minutes. There are an unusual number of quakers and just plain shriveled beans. It may be fine, but it seems to be mid quality, especially for an Ethiopian. If I read it correctly, it is a blend of many small producers product, which may explain the uneven quality.
