Interestingly (to me, anyway), I got a batch of the Brazil Bob-O-Link Peaberry from Burman that consistently has no first crack. In more than a dozen years of roasting coffee, hundreds of lots, from all the main producing countries, I've never seen anything like it. Great coffee, but strange to roast since one of my primary guides is missing.
That bob-o-link is a bit crazy. Using the Behmore roaster, I hear "poof", like steam releasing from popcorn for the first crack, about 12 minutes into the roast... about 2-3 minutes of that, and maybe 30 seconds after that stops, you hear the 'tick tick' rice crispy crackles of 2nd crack. But it's very tasty, even if you over shoot and get it dark.
