What are you roasting today?

Well I pressed my first batch I roasted up Tuesday and I definitley beleive it was way underdone. I will try again tonight maybe.

I just roasted up some Colombian Supremo, and next up is going to be Ethiopian YC.

I am liking my roaster very much, it a Freshroast SR 500, very fast, easy to get uniform color on beans, and I can do it right in my kitchen in 15 min...BUT...the batch size is not as large as I would like, I'm drinking more coffee with the new roaster, and I am a little concerned about the life of the unit.

Oh I WAS roasting on a SCCO (Stir Crazy Convection Oven) and I could do a lb at a time, but the roast color was not that uniform...and the machine didn't like getting as hot as I needed.

well there is neg's in all systems I guess.....any advice or opinions out there?

Maybe a Behmore (sp?) ?

I am gonna try my second roast today, haven't decided which bean. Maybe I'll do the same beans I did my first batch with so I can do a fair comparison. The wife gave me a bodum French press for Xmas, now I don't have to bring mine home from work every week. I love my wife.
