Yes, it's a beautiful thing!

Nice! What kind of beans are those?

Those are some of the beans JG sent a bunch of us. These were the Kenya AA something (don't feel like getting up right now) and they smell wonderful tonight. I can't wait to grind them in the morning, the aroma is going to be heavenly!

Nice looking roast Jim! Glad to see those beans are being enjoyed.

Very nice, Jim!

OMG is this stuff good! I roasted the batch at three different levels; just into first crack, well into first crack, just into second crack to get a variety of flavors and this bean did not disappoint! In fact I have to use less of the normal measure otherwise it's far too strong.

Oh, and Elkie...

I am NOT ready for 87 but I will take 70 all year long.

I still dont know what's first crack vs second really since this nesco is all timed cycles, and surely lower temp than you air popper. But damn I love fresh roasted coffee. Thanks james. The kenya aa was just about the first gone.

But now I bought about ten pounds from burman and doug hit me with 8 more.... yummy stuff all!

I think so far the Kenya AA is the most flavorful but there are a couple I haven't roasted yet.
