I do roast for espresso and the profile is different then for other brews. I like to stretch the roast time after the start of first to end of roast to caramelize the sugars more for a sweeter cup. I do some blends where I compromise the finish phase so that it will work for espresso or other brews. I consider a city roast for espresso to be the most difficult roast, stretching the roast from the start of first to the end of first crack (city) to get 3 min and not stall the roast is tricky.
