Two beans...same time

[costaricacoffee]

I roast on a Bullet and was thinking about roasting two different beans (Guat and an Ethiopian) since the finishing temp I'm shooting for is nearly the same.

Does anyone have any experience with this? While I know they are different I'm wondering if there will be a noticeable change in the cup as opposed to roasting them separately.

As long as there both washed and moisture content is close, have at it.

Nice thing about separately is you can roast each to your desired outcome, then try different blend ratios. An example might be roasting the Guat. to medium and the Eth. to light. Then brew a cup of each and combine small amounts of each using different ratios into a third cup. You can try a lot of different ratios quickly that way.

I've do this when I get down to the end of a bag and don't have enough for my normal batch size.

Tonx from YesPlz talked about doing this at cupping. It's a fun and easy way to try multiple blends and ratios while you have a pen in hand.

This is more my speed. It's more adventurous. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised and others not so much but I'm always up to try.

I feel like I have a handle on roasting 700 gram batches in the Bullet which makes me reluctant to try smaller batches
