This coffee is really good. I had trouble getting the roast dark enough at first. But now it is wonderful. Here is a picture of us roasting in my frying pan.
The beans in the pan are only about 1/2 done.This is just after what is known as the first crack, when the water is evaporating in the beans. There is a second crack and this is when the sugars in the beans are carmelizing. This is where I like to roast to. It is called Full City.
Here is another picture. The beans in the crock are roasted Sumatran and the beans on the table are green Kenyan. The beans actually enlarge some when they roast and they loose some of the water.
