Taken to City + on an SR800, brewed in a Chemex. CBC's description is spot-on. Slightly different from the other Guatamalans I've tried . Not as chocolatey or nutty. Light, bright, and smooth. Slight chocolate, definite fruit tastes. This is not a bold coffee. The taste doesn't overwhelm or linger, but it's really delicious. I'd think it would go well with a dessert.

ROASTING REVIEW 10/05/2023 Roasted beans over open campfire using maple hardwood in northern Vermont using an antique wire mesh basket popcorn popper. This method can roast about 1/3 cup at a time. Roasted a total of 1 pound. Beans turn fr grey-green to green, then start turning brown with a lot of chaff (flammable). The beans do not arrive at the first crack quickly nor uniformly. With patience, it can be done. They complete the 2nd crack and are uniformly black. They emit considerable amounts of coffee oil and coffee gas (flammable). One batch caught fire. (Not as oily, flammable, or tempermental as Mexican coffee beans) Made one batch of light Roasted several medium roasts, and two intended dark plus another when the oil and chaff ignited. With patience, open campfire roasting is possible, but this isn't a first time open campfire roaster.

Really appreciate the fast shipping! Coffee is great!

This is my absolute favorite bean of all time! It roasts a beautiful golden brown at full city and is consistent. The taste is outstanding even in my Bunn but I especially like it in the Chemex where all the flavors of this bean really shine!

Really a enjoyable cup. One of my new favorites, top 3. It has found a permanent place in my rotation. Light roast is super tasty.

Roasted my first batch of this Guatemalan delight to Full City; pulled it just as the second crack began. Medium Dark past with no oil on the surface. Brewed a pour over at 18:1 / 200, degrees F into a cup of ice on a hot Carolina day…perfect! Smooth, nice finish, notes of chocolate and caramel.

Initially ordered one lb to try, now back to re-order. First 215 gm roast'n in sr800 was trashed 7th D; hit 1st-K @7:10 ca 390° fast/rapid, ended 1:25 later at 438° (probe in roast chamber). My wife & I cup'd 2nd roasting v.g. to Ex (she adds milk / mine black). Drying phase, 300° @ 3:50, strong 1st-K @7:40 ca 405° & end of 1stK 1:20 in; drop fan from 4 to 3 & 1:30 into 1st-K ladled out #4 (1 oz) scoops (charged from 6 to 8 heat setting after scoop'n), hit 2nd-K @ 2:30 into 1st, hit cooling 0:10 later then dumped to external cooling device. Roast improved greatly with more rest; best cup'n between 7–13 days. Aren't many beans so forgiving that you can interrupt the roast development; but it is one way of extending it. I don't blend the two roast levels till I've cup'd both separate. I can do this with only 4 or more beans offered by CBC & I've tried it with 20+. Bolivian Apollo is one favorite I've used this method with over a dozen times, 2-3 or 4 scoops.

Usually a sumatra lover but like to try new beans, this fit the profile so we tried it. Roasted to the start of the second crack and really like it. Might just replace the sumatra in the roaster permantly. This is the only coffee roaster that will ship to alaska at a decent price, they have my business from now on.

Just roasted up a batch of this coffee. Definitely one of my favs so far. I'm a newbie roaster and have tried about 15 different beans. This one is very good! Roasted it to a nice medium/dark past first crack. Let the beans rest for two days. It's a lovely cup! Chocolatey, fruity, with a lemon kicker. I really like this bean!
