Megabite's 180 Reef - Round 2

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe to a second crack and then slightly further to release a little more of the oils is a favorite of mine when I decide to roast my own coffee beans from green. I've had a couple of cups of Yirgacheffe that was pre roasted. Still good but it seems to miss some of the chocolatey flavors that I find with the fresher roasted Yirgacheffe beans.
That's cool. I've never tried roasting my own beans. That may be something I may want to try in the future.

Is this source any good for beans? Ethiopian Yirgacheffe

I don't know. I always bought green coffee beans off Amazon... 😂

I think Sweet Maria's was the other site I used.
 
I use an older popcorn popper when I roast instead of the coffee bean roasters. If you're interested, get one of the ones with the side vents rather than the screened bottom vent. It does a better job of keeping them stirring while roasting for a better, more even roast across the batch. I was roasting around an 1/8th of a cup per batch.
 
BTW - your thread had 4 pages of comments on it yesterday. How about you keep that number lower. I don't have the time to spend catching up on a thread of this level.
That’s funny Chris I’ll keep that in mind Lol!! 😝
 
Nothing interesting. A blended variety of two different locations.

Central America and Brazil. It's a medium roast Donut Shop with a strong flavor. Not fruity, not super smooth, but a good flavor. Maybe some molasses undertones.
You guys have to try Kona coffee with coconut . The stuff they sell around here is only 10 percent but if you find 100 % you’ll die for it . It is so good probably my favorite 😍
