I am trying to compare this roast to the chart and think it qualifies as full city plus, but wanted some more experienced eyes to see it.

It was roasted past the 8 minute max on the Freshroast 8 by about 1 minute, so it roasted about 9 minutes, which i think is long for the Freshroast.

There is no doubt it went to second crack as it was very easy to hear the rapid "snap crackle pop" so many describe.

I stopped the roast about 10 seconds into second crack and quickly cooled it in a collander.

Not sure if it matters, but it was Sweet Marias Classic Espresso blend which they recommend to be roasted full city to full city plus.

Thanks!!!
