Bought this from Klatch. Some of you read my coffee struggles on a previous thread. I bought green and roasted. I'll taste the roasted coffee today and grind some beans of my roast, let em' sit for an hours and compare. Since that thread we have changed out the Artisan filters in the RO system and now have 127 ppm instead of 61. Coffees good again.

I roasted my first batch yesterday. I stopped the roast probably 3/4 through first crack with 90 sec. development.
This morning it had intense raspberry and strawberry smell. This coffee will be special. Years ago when I first tried the bean the espresso reminded me of salt water taffy. It was unique and delicious.

That's it. A little lighter=more strawberry, slightly more=raspberry. It develops very quickly in the roaster. I've been dropping around 1:10.

Ha, we must have similar tastes in coffees because I also just ordered 10#s from Klatch. Profile #2 looks like money to me, I'm curious how these both taste. I should have ordered Klatch's roasted version of this coffee.
I'll roast this weekend or early next week and share my thoughts. I can't get as nice of profiles on my M3s (it's no Buckeye!) but I'm stoked to roast and share. Thinking the same general idea - 15-18 degrees of post-1cs development for a nice City+. Of course - I charge hotter and turn slower, but it is what it is.

Still have a few lbs of 2019 left and just ordered 10lbs of 2020. Inventory is building... gotta drink more coffee!

Drinking a cup of the roasted beans I bought from Klatch. No strawberry but there is some kind of berry showing through as the cup cools. Now fading a bit as it cools more.

My years ago experience with this coffee was it will get away from you in the roaster. If I was to wait 15-18 degrees "after 1C ends" you have gone way too far even for espresso. If you want 15-18 degrees from first audible snaps of 1C you could be spot on. I believe my roast went several degrees more than that still in somewhat active 1C.tgappmayer wrote: Thinking the same general idea - 15-18 degrees of post-1cs development for a nice City+.

Double Ha, same boat, 10# and didn't order their roast. I do like their packaging though.tgappmayer wrote:Ha, we must have similar tastes in coffees because I also just ordered 10#s from Klatch.

I know Alan mentioned 1:3 for espresso; anyone else have thoughts on that?

yep, 15 degrees post 1cs start, not 15 deg post 1c end... i don't think i take any coffees to 15 post 1c end. that's pretty dark.
so excited to try this out!
i do too! but now i officially have way too much green coffee. i guess the only thing to do is upgrade to a Bullet so I can roast more of it faster...carefreebuzzbuzz wrote:Double Ha, same boat, 10# and didn't order their roast. I do like their packaging though.
