Honduras Organic 18 Rabbit Natural Marcala Honduras: Organic 18 Rabbit Natural, Marcala

What an amazing coffee! Roasted with Kaffelogic Nano 7, the REST profile at L5.0, this coffee is perfect!

You can have your cake and eat it too. Before roasting my second pound of this coffee I was reading the cup notes of City and Full City +. I am a lover of the Chocolate, Black Berry. Bourbon and Brown Sugar Notes of Full City + but the Fruity Notes of the City roast also was deliciously smooth Chocolate covered Strawberry. So why cant you have both??? So I roasted both and mixed them and added a new twist to grinding my coffee with a hint of FLeur de sel (I am a Chef and Salt in moderation raises the flavor profile of whatever you are cooking including coffee!!..try it and thank me later) The result Ladies and Gentlemen was simply amazing!!! SPecifics half pound at a time: I am using an SR800. Fan 9 Heat on 1 until the beans start to turn(about 4 Minutes) Fan 7 Heat 6 unitl 392-402 degrees for 5 minutes. Fan 6 Heat 7 to 420-425 degrees until First Crack of or City Roast(about the 10 minute mark. Continue to Second Crack for Full City + plus 30 seconds. Cool Fan 9 and Power 1 for 3 minutes. Force cool in Freezer in a shallow dish for 10 minutes. Place in a one way Airtight container(I got mine from Coffee Corral in their Roasting Kit which I love!!!!) Gas for 2 days minimum. Best Flavor came after gassing for 3 days. Happy Roasting!!!

Caught on fire in the roaster as there is a lot of chaf...I've been roasting coffee regularly for a number of years and this has never happened.

When referring to Dark or Light it is (Dark = 2 Cracks and Light = 1 Crack) and we rated it from 1:10. The Dark brew was with 88 and 49 and was Strawberry taste with a rate of 12 and Strong . The Light brew was with 88 and 50 and was sweet orange, slight nutty, vanilla with a rate of 12 and Strong .

HONDURAS,ORGANIC 18 RABBIT NATURAL, I roasted to medium and wow lots of fruity / berry sweet flavor, non acidic light body in the cup. The next batch will go for a fully city roast to bring out more body and hopefully tame some of the sweet fruit forwardness.

This is a life changing bean. What that change entails is up to you. Good or bad, at least you had a heck of a cup of coffee. I bought a bunch for the holidays, roasted it, and handed it out to co workers. I made the mistake of not trying it before I handed it out. I tried the little bit I had left and was kicking myself that I gave it all away. I will not be making that mistake again.

This coffee surprised me. I’m a big Ethiopian coffee fan, with the fruity berry flavors. This coffee mimics that exactly. It does go extremely fast from first crack to second, but I drop it as soon as first starts to slow down. Delicious! Ordering more as I write this!!

Wonderful coffee. It's pure vanilla, butter and cream. It's not too bold, but it's all flavor. These Honduran coffees from Marcala are some of the best in the world. If the Hondurans were better at marketing, these would sell at a very high price, indeed.

We always roast lighter, just past first crack so can't speak to the darker roasts, but this was one of those we thought was kind of middle of the road, not bad but not spectacular either. Drinkable!

I am an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe lover and mainly dry processed and mainly for espresso/cappuccino purposes. Rabbit Natural is different. More typical for Central American closer by taste to Brazil. It is nice and chocolaty, sweater rather, than fruity. Crowd pleaser. Comparable to Italian type of espresso. Makes good crema. Ethiopians are more exotic than Rabbit, but do not demean Rabbit. It is good overall. Roasting is tricky since small procrastination make your from medium to dark and oily very fast. May be depends what roaster do you use temperature regimen? I roasted 4 pounds so far. My observation that 1st crack comes very organized and all beans almost together and space between end of 1 st crack and begging of 2nd in my fist batch was barely noticeable. Finally by 4th pound I noticed that 40 seconds into 1 crack is enough to get you to what you want as they say medium roast. If you want for French Press or Chemex then wait for the end of 1 st crack and it will be still good. Going into 2 nd crack I found to be not really great.

We got this as part of the organic sample pack, and we were so impressed we bought more. We roasted this until just at second crack and would classify it as right around a full city roast. It had a nice shine to it immediately after roasting, which was surprising as it usually takes a few days to release those oils. While roasting, we noticed some cocoa notes, but the fruity notes quickly became the more dominant smell (and the taste as well). We used this in our Expobar Brewtus espresso machine and found it pulled very well (17 grams in, 34 grams out in about 25-30 seconds). We usually pull shots around 198 degrees, but lowered it to 192 and liked the results. I enjoy this in a latte with either maple syrup or honey and my husband enjoys it as a straight shot.

One of the more interesting beans I've roasted. Heavy notes of dried fruits and dark chocolate. Translates decently into the cup. Roasted my sample pack around a lighter medium, but this seems like it would take to the darker side of medium quite well. I expect the black honey or washed process version of this bean loses a lot of the sweetness, but would be a much cleaner bean to roast.

I just tried my first batch of this. I am extremely impressed. This is one if the, if not THE most fruit-forward coffees I’ve ever tasted. I roasted in a whirly-pop on an electric stove at a touch under 4. Roasted to about Medium. LOTS of chaff. Roasts a bit quicker than washed varieties, if I’m not mistaken? When ground, it has very distinct aroma of dried, chocolate-covered cherries. It does not taste much different. This is going in my regular rotation. I just hope I can get it again when it’s time to re-order. I was going to try the honey process, but it was sold out, so I tried the natural, and now I’m glad I did.

This coffee is fantastic! I am a lover of natural process coffees, especially lighter roasted with heavy fruit notes. Roasted to just to second crack, let sit to degas overnight, it had the best strawberry/fruit notes and a really nice body and sweetness, low acidity for me too, but I enjoy bright coffees, so that part might be subjective. it's definitely worth a try if on the fence!
