INSTRUCTION....I DON'T NEED NO STINKING INSTRUCTION....


Oh, yeah, except when it comes to roasting coffee!  I failed to follow the instructions from the very nice woman at Mystic Coffee Roasters in Medford, MA.  She very Cleary said "take them out the as soon as you hear the second crack, because they go very fast".  Hence, this uneven roast (eh, ok, half burnt) roast.

Then I did what she told me to .....
and what do you know, it came out great!  My tastiest batch of home roast yet! Mostly even roast.  FYI, the coffee itself is really fabulous with a nice almost floral aroma and just plain tasty!  I'd like to go when Mystic is brewing some of this to see how theirs is.  

The folks at Mystic were very cool about answering my questions, but i'll have to pace myself lest i should annoy the crap out of them!

  1. Very nicely! I'm still not sure I get the second crack thing. The next time I get some cheaper beans I'll have to let a batch go all the way to french roast just to make sure I know what I'm listening for. All I have left now is the two Gesha varieties which are way too expensive to waste on an intentionally dark roast.
