Happy national coffee day!
Looks clean in there, I like these people. What was your take?
^welcome!
Yirgacheffe coffee is one of my favorites and so is the Awropress brewer. Do you have a suitable burr grinder for all the fresh cofffee youre going have now?
My second roast.
Colombia Santa Barbara. Behmor 1600+.
226g green to 193g final with 14.6% loss.
Preheat 1:00 to 129F. P5 manual with slow drum speed until fc which went to P4 and fast drum speed.
Fc @ 8:54 and 306F. Roast end at 10:15. 13.7% development.
I’m guessing somewhere between a City + and a Full City. Next time I will drop the temp at fc to see how much that extends development time.
Looks like a good roast, but of course, looks don't matter as much as taste.
Regarding your preheat, the Behmor does not display any temperature below 129F, so you can never trust a reading of 129F. In my experience, it takes 1:45 to get to 130F.
You'll probably want to experiment with less heat around the browning phase and beyond once you get some more roasts under your belt, but just getting some drinkable coffee is great for your first few roasts and i'd bet that is much better than just drinkable.

I will be tasting tomorrow and if it tastes better than yesterdays batch, I will be ecstatic. That one tasted great despite being a bit heavier of a roast than I anticipated.
I added beans after a minute preheat to prolong the roast time. Yesterdays batch was done to SC in like 8.5 minutes!! First times a charm. I was going to drop to 50% at FC instead of 75% but maybe I need to drop to 75% after yellowing begins.
I have to say that I love roasting already!!
Here is my first batch ever. Same bean, just idled much better the latest round.

Those look too dark for me. But it's your palate, just make some coffee and see what appeals to you. I just got some beans from jammin and the awesome blueberry flavor would have been lost with a roast like that.
There are two kinds of roasters. Roasters who have brought a roast into second crack and liars.
I roasted mine tonight.
The RAW beans have a very strong blueberry aroma. The beans had such a strong blueberry flavor that I wondered if they were doctored in some way. It was a LOT of blueberry.
I'll be grinding and drinking next week. Thanks jammin!
