We just received a good sized shipment of new coffees. The first one out the gate is the Costa Rica Finca Cedral. A heavenly coffee with great aroma, medium-deep body with pleasant fruit and floral notes. Found the Full City roast to be the most pleasing, no oil just deep brown in color.

Special Note: Our roasting logs are changing. Look for an updated log in the future.

The Two Schools
To me there are two schools of thought regarding home coffee roasting. Those working towards getting repeatable results and those who look at each roast as an adventure. Alright, nothing is ever that simple. Many people begin in one school and migrate to the other, whereas others just go at it and never look back.
What ever school you acquiesce to, HERE is a handy roast log for you to use to get the most out of the coffee roasting experience. Feel free to download, printout and share this with your friends. This log is most specific to the IRoast 2 home coffee roaster, but can be adapted to work with what ever roaster you choose.
For those looking to get repeatable results, use this form for every roast and store them in a binder for future reference. For the adventurer, use the logs in the beginning to build a foundation for your roasting and brewing style. In a short time you will have obtained enough knowledge and skill that a more relaxed approach will produce great results with just enough variation to appease your adventurous side.
Don't forget to fill in the cupping section. Great for practice and very handy for developing a basis for your favorite coffees. It is a variation of the SCAA cupping form and highlights coffee's key attributes.
