Should I first upgrade Rancilio Silvia or Niche Zero for light/medium espresso

How to make a chocolate blend?
Due to some problems in shipping it took a while for my new batch of Brazil to come in, but this morning I was finally able to roast the recipe that Beezer posted (50% brazil / 25% yemen / 25% sumatran mandheling). I did my best to stretch between 1st & 2nd as per Mike's suggestion and I went further

I read that page a couple of times but I had forgotten there was an example of a chocolate blend on it, thank you! I'll go try this one out then as soon as my new batch of Brazil comes in. Any other thoughts?

How to make a chocolate blend?
Hello all! I've roasted and drunk a lot of SO's but lately I've been trying to experiment with blending coffees. What I would like to make is a chocolate blend with the addition of some floral and/or citrusy notes for which I'll use a Yrg or an Harrar. But how do I go about composing the ever so pop...

What about "overdosing" makes channeling more likely?
It really depends Jasper; the traditional Northern American roasting style is indeed lighter than the Italian style of roasting. However, the "3rd wave" roasters tend to roast darker, as does *$.
