3 batches on 5/30 (1.39 lbs)
4 batches on 6/14 (1.85 lbs)

419.14 + 5.09 = 424.23 lbs


Edit: Yeez, I'm sure drinking a lot of coffee!

So that 10 lbs brings my total to 67.52 lbs.

434.23 lbs total for the thread.
 
Earlier this week I combined the leftover Ethiopian beans from different lots to make a full pound and roasted it. I did the same with various beans from Central America too. So two pounds there.
Now I’m roasting a pound of Ethiopian Yirga Cheffe Konga Station (Sweet Maria’s GCX-6317). So three pounds this week.

Update:
Just roasted a pound of beans from Mexico. So four (4) pounds total, not three (3).

449.07 + 4 = 453.07

I roasted one pound of very affordable Burman's coffee ($3.99/lb, Colombian Supremo Antioquia | Burman Coffee). I just poured some into the hopper, so within the next few days I should know whether I can taste the difference. Not 100% sure what I'm hoping for...
448.07 +1 = 449.07.
I now also roasted a pound of the other $3.99/lb coffee I got from Burman's, a Brazilian Mogiana 17/18. I roasted both the Colombian and the Brazilian a bit towards the darker side, but not black. A few beans have oil on the surface. (My DeLonghi Magnifica doesn't like too much oil on the beans.) To my surprise both are very drinkable, not only for breakfast (americano with sugar and milk), but also as (short) espresso. So maybe I don't need to spend more than $4 per pound?

I should roast the other supposedly better (?; or maybe just more expensive) coffees I got before coming to a final verdict.

453.07 + 1 = 454.07.
 
490.64 + 8.66 = 499.30

And another pound here, this time Burman's 'Colombian BCT Premium Huila Timana'. I like that Burman is just around the corner in Madison.
Three batches in the SR500; two of them I turned off (=switched to cooling) just as second crack began, the third one I ran a bit longer, 11 minutes or so. I think I'm slowly moving to lighter roasts, with no oil at all on the surface.
499.30 + 1 = 500.3 pounds.

Ruint, who is drinking all your coffee? That seems like a lot to roast, even for a large family.

I looked at your location on the map once to see if that was slang for Canada. The finger lakes area seems like a nice place. Have you roasted Cuban coffee before, any good?
I bought a 5 pound bag of Cuban beans when I was in Toronto last year before the pandemic and slowly roast a little bit here and there. It’s good, nothing mind blowing or anything. It has a good body with a nutty and woody character to it.
Yeah the Finger Lakes region of NY is nice. I’m closer to the Canadian border than NYC, which surprises a lot of people.

:) Looking at roasting 20+ pounds a little later today!!! Got the parts, old parts removed, new installed, and a test preheat done yesterday. True test will be this run!
 
Had to tweak the fan once cause it was rubbing on the backside, but only after it was thoroughly heated, so not too bad. Overall the repair was quick. 11,772 grams is what I ended up roasting. That comes out to be 25.95 pounds.
That gives us a total of 716.69 pounds.
