Glass cooktop? If so, barkeeper's friend does a nice job of cleaning those. I use that and a razorblade paint scraper thing and I get it really clean.
I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Well said all, count me in as +1. Way to kick it off harbourtown with that cool and thoughtful post.
Man Maxstout, sorry to hear. What a friggin deal.

If the barkeepers friend does not take care of your cooktop, this is the stuff my wife use to clean up our glass top stove. I think it comes in a smaller bottle too.

While searching for the stuff I seen barkeeper friend makes something special for cook tops too.

Roasted the last pound of this. I was surprised at how much longer it took to cool comparatively. Full heat to 1c at 923, started timer maybe 30 seconds late. Turned down to 5 of 6 power once really going. Let it go 70 seconds past 1c. Pulled it while it was still really popping. Some starting to go towards 2c surely. Smelled berries at about 50 seconds in. Should have pulled it there. Chocolatey is my first impression. Second is that it's really good. Have really been enjoying cold brew drinks. Here it is, little uneven like most dp roasts seems to turn out.

I can see this!
Just went to their site. They're sold out of the bourbon--both red honey and washed versions. Grrrrr.
Maybe I'll order some of the Icatu.
Edit: They also have Lempira peaberry for $6/lb.
Just pulled the trigger on 6 lbs. of peaberry. Wanted to pounce before it was gone.
PM me your info and I will send some of the red honey bourbon greens your way.
Thank you, that's very generous! PM sent.

I just roasted up 3oz of each variety I bought. The Icatu roasted the quickest and went from first crack to second rapidly. The Red Bourbon at first and second crack were both lighter colored than any other coffee I've roasted and roasted at the same pace as the Limpera, which is about an average rate on the popcorn popper. The Catuai took much longer but it seems to be the best looking roast. there was very little difference in roasting times between the processing methods. I'll wait a couple of days before cupping.

Bl sale is the Ethiopia guji this week at 25 off. That's under 30 for 5 pounds of gr 1 natural Ethiopian to the door. Good for an inbetween the really good stuff drinker.
I love me too

Yesterday I roasted a PNG...I've only done one of these before. I decided to slow it down in the drying phase because, well, lately I've been doing the same basic profile for most of my beans and I was ready to try something a little different.
I went with a little less heat from about 2:20 - 4:45; once the beans hit the Yellowing stage I ramped up power to make up for the lower power the previous few minutes. Ended up recovering nicely (didn't know how that would go) and had some good momentum to carry me into 1C at about 8:00. 1C lasted a nice 1:30, and I dropped it with 18% development.
I drank it this morning because I was out of other coffee and I was really pleasantly surprised at how much flavor it already has. A nice smooth cocoa powder flavor already and really nice body. It's fun to experiment with a new process and have it come out tasting good.

I really enjoy a good PNG. Heavy body, molasses sweetness, hint of hickory smoke... terrific to stew over in the morning
Just received my 6 lbs. Lempira Peaberry today. Can't wait to roast some, but will wait til tomorrow, when the temp will be 15 degrees cooler.
They included a 1oz. sample of their coffee cherry tea (cascara). Never had that before, so looking forward to making it in a press.
@Br3w4u - did you order any of the peaberry? If not, I'll send you some.

I did not but I will gladly take you up on the offer. You should have the beans I sent by Tuesday and my address is on the package. Thank you sir!

Drinking through the Burmans top lot coming off of a few weeks of hanagobi and guji, the top lot is an impressive step up. Rich in chocolate scents and body, its surprising how much more flavorful it is. The other two are quite good. But not so much wow.
No one jump on the Ethiopian dp gr 1 sale? I already have some, and some more of that hana so I am on the fence. My next buy will probably be a more top lot style coffee. I might pick up 5 pounds of the guji anyways. The light fruit taste and chocolate tones are nice enough. How is the lempira?

Oops,made some killer shots yesterday. I have been drinking cold brew as well. I dump the coffee over ice and hit it with, ugh, dare I say, Carmel crapiato or whatever it is. Really tasty, but cold brew, dang. Give it a try.
I’m with you, @applescrap. Went outside before coffee and got the grass cut before it got too hot. Think it’s time for an iced americano or something along those lines.
