My favorite coffee; I was glad to get some when it came back in stock (not for long). Usual prompt service
from CBC. Lovely medium strength alternative to Sumatra with nice chocolate, cinnamon and a hint of nuts (pine nuts? I dunno).

I roasted it to medium-dark, just past second crack. I shook out the chaff, and hem immediately brewed it in my Mokka pot. I added a dab of sweetened condensed milk and some heavy cream. The result was a coffee drink that was absolutely delicious.

I love this coffee and that goes back to Celebes times. I take it just till the beans just start to sweat. I like to leave a bit of life. It’s not easy to get all of the time, but it is awesome when you get it. World number one or two in my book…

I personally have been roasting Celebes/Sulawesi beans for 21 years now..out of the over 100 different origins and varieties Ive roasted in that time the Kalossi has been my moms absolute favorite! It's in my top 3.. different people like different roasts so we are into 2 crack kinda profiles..Bold,Smooth,Clean..NO Acidity..I roast with the Behmor drum!!

This fantastic dual-purpose variety has become one of my all-time favorites, which is quite unexpected since Indonesian coffees aren't usually at the top of my list. This one works wonderfully as both drip and espresso. In my iRoast2, it's hard to hear the cracks, and the appearance of the roast is usually a little uneven. Reducing the charge size doesn't seem to improve the color evenness, so I think that's just the nature of these beans, at least in an air roaster. I push it into the first few snaps of second crack where some of the beans are medium-dark (full city) while others still look medium-light (city to city+), and the resulting flavor is spectacular.

Truly a delightful coffee. Bright without acidity, smooth, creamy mouthfeel. We light roast, 1st crack. Definitely in the rotation for every day,

This bean always delivers. I roast it just into second crack. I use it as single origin and also in blends to add that Indonesian ummphhh! It's definitely my go-to, so smooth.

I have been drinking Sulawesi coffee for more than a decade, and just recently decided to roast my own beans . . . after just few roasts I was able to dial in my time/temp cycles with these beans to get the roast how I like it . . . super excited to take my coffee experience to the next level :)

This is a very good bean at City roast. I like it slightly less than the Toraja, which has more chocolate/caramel profile.

What a nice surprise this coffee was. I took it just passed the first crack to a dark chestnut color.Quality is good (but my roasting needs work!) Beans are uniform and roast evenly. Will try removing before the second crack on this next batch

Roasted to Full City/+ on an SR800 with ext. tube. Actually went a little darker than I had intended. Took the roast along the same time/temps as previous City/City+ roasts, but it really progressed quickly. Second crack came soon after first, so be aware. A pleasant spice was probably the first thing I tasted. That and an earthy nuttiness were the most prevalent flavors. Didn't taste the chocolate per the writeup. The finish produced a slight floral taste. All in all a good bean, just not in my preferred flavor wheelhouse.

Quality is good (but my roasting needs work!) Beans are uniform and roast evenly. Will try removing before the second crack on this next batch, but the first batch was definitely drinkable, just needs finessing. They also packed the beans very well. I received an intact, well-filled bag in a timely fashion. Other suppliers sent beans in flimsy bags that burst during shipping. I will buy from them again.
