You can see the bottom of a darker roast I did just before.


The "Zombie Blend" is what I call it because I brought all these dead beans back to life! (Not pictured)

You sure are roasting a lot. Do you use it all that quick?

I go through it quick, but I am in a coffee pass that is in shipping to my house now and I am going away in a couple weeks to a cabin in the mountains with a bunch of coffee drinking guys! I am bringing the cigars and coffee

There is not as much in those bags as it may appear, they are flattened out. Only about 1/3rd filled up right.

Ah! I forgot to mention the roast looks good!

Thanks, you can't really judge any of the pics from an iphone.
I can never get them to look exactly like they are.

Basically I need to do a small roast every other day to make sure I have enough rested coffee available.

How much is a small roast for you? I'm in the process of determining how much I need to roast per week.

Also, do you have any idea how much weight the beans lose during the roast?

I am not weighing anything currently. I have a Nesco and it only works well with small batches, I would guess about 1/4 lb (maybe more like 1/3lb)
