I generally rotate beans. I'm not a fan of South/Central American coffees so I have a about three from Africa and three from the far East (Sumatra and the like). At the end of the year I tend to coast and clean up the inventory. I'm about out now so I need to get some more.
I find that from year to year and harvest to harvest I'll find a "go to" that I particularly like. A few years back it was Timor, then Misty Valley, then a Sumatran. Has as much to do with a crop success as it does my palate I guess. I'll dance around my annual standby but that particular bean will always be in inventory for that year. I roast as needed, generally every third day give or take. Sometimes more frequently if a bean needs the rest before consumption. It varies, just like cigars. You will hit your stride. I'd just say don't go overboard at the beginning, it is easy to do. Welcome to the addiction. J.
