I think for now I'll follow the prompts and not deviate. Or do a half-lb by the book, then play with the manual controls for the other half-lb.
My wife had a cup from my early roasts and was unimpressed.
I remember the cup she sampled was decent, but nothing special. I probably didn't use enough grounds back then, I use more now.
I think this is the standard response to most of our hobbies

It’s one solid option for riding out the pandemic and election season!
The Jerome St is interesting. Not my favorite but still a good cup. I just ordered 10lbs of their Chocozilla blend of green beans as my wife loved it. Also trying a pound of their Prince Street Crema which is an espresso blend intended to maximize the crema. Sounded interesting.
How deeply do you roast it, Kyle? Mine is medium to medium dark, but not sure if I'm getting the best from the beans. I should try adding a little milk to my cup and see how it tastes.
That is the range I normally roast to. I always make sure I hit second crack. Sometimes I stop there, sometimes I let it go a bit longer.
I took it a minute or two longer than the pre-set program. Hmm, I'll have to try it again sometime. It's not bad, just not what I'd expected. Maybe I'm looking for more chocolate flavor than it has. Thanks.
Yeah. The aroma of the grounds has some chocolate but its gone in the cup. Try the Chocozilla or mocharagua. Both of those are pretty chocolate forward.
Made a pot of the Tanzanian Peaberry this morning. Good earthy flavor, but the first cup was a little too strong. I diluted the second cup slightly and the earthiness was enhanced with a touch of sweetness. Very enjoyable flavor.
Made my first batch of Cold Brew. Some beans that have been in the freezer longer than I probably should have had them. Coarsely ground 8 oz and put them in a half gallon mason jar. Filled with filtered water and let them set for 24 hours. Used my pour over coffee maker to filter the good stuff from the grounds. Placed the coffee in another mason jar. Man is this stuff great! I won't be buying cold brew from a coffee shop any more!
