I was shooting for Full City. I think I came close. Some Full City+/Light Vienna on some of it though. The blend makes it hard to get a uniform roast, or I'm still just learning. Maybe a little of both.

Would you say this is Full City? Sorry for the poor iPhone quality.

I would say city+ as well. I don't like to roast this light because I hate to see so much chaff on the bean. This is something I am trying to overlook so I can make a roast that is best for the bean. I have roasted mostly to vienna or just under. It is hard to judge with my machine beacuse you can't hear the cracks. Thanks for posting pictures, It is helpful to see what your beans are looking like guys!
