    @maxward, @stangman67, anyone else....

    Green bean heads-up. Do you guys get the SM's emails?

    If you've not compared different harvest processing methods, a cool experiment. It's amazing how the same bean, when dry vs wet processed, can be so different in the cup. Ethiopians are excellent examples of this. Gesha's from South America, a sought after bean know for it's floral characteristics, was a really interesting one I've done.

    Latest from SM's and worth grabbing if you want to expand your knowledge/experience.

    "The latest entry into our featured coffee sets is the 4 lbs Ethiopia Process Method Set. This set highlights the different flavors that come from the wet and dry process methods, and includes four of our top lots from the current green coffee catalog.

    The wet and dry process methods are the two most used means of processing coffee in the world, and each leaves their own unique mark on the cup. From fruit to floral and everything in between, this set is an opportunity to compare how these flavor differences are expressed across four delicious Ethiopian coffees.

    If you're looking for more volume, we still offer our 10 lbs "XL" Ethiopia Process Method Set, but for smaller capacity air roasters we think the 4lbs set will be a lot of fun!"

    Thanks. Yes, and part of my recent order was the 10 lbs XL Ethiopian process method. It will be a couple weeks before I try one of those.

    You coffee nerds should seek-out and watch Dangerous Grounds, which was a (sadly) short-lived docu-series where a dude named Todd Carmichael traversed the globe, looking for the absolute best coffee beans he could find for his Philadelphia-based coffee company.

    He traveled with a portable, hand-powered, roaster, and (I think) hand-powered grinder, where he would roast, grind, and brew coffee on-the-spot (i.e., on the coffee plantation) to determine if it was worthy of attempting to import the beans into the states (i.e., his coffee company).

    It is a very informative and interesting series to watch...whether you like coffee, or not.

    All that effort, and equipment bought/donated by sponsors, and he couldn't get a burr grinder?
    For the most part, I really like that guy's channel and have been a subscriber for years.

    @stangman67 Of the one pound bags of Sweet Maria’s coffee I have roasted so far, a winner was the Colombia Inza Cresta El Hato, which is still in stock.

    Thanks for the heads up! I’m running low on 10speed so I have to put an order in soon. Do you have the graph saved for how you roasted it?

    Roasted to full city +. I don’t use any software other than monitoring time and temperature.

    Gotcha! Appreciate the suggestion

    Courtney bought me a Weber Moonraker WDT for my first Father’s Day. Completely unexpected, she’s a keeper. Inspired me to clean up the coffee bar and get it organized
