Green Bean sources

Pete, there is 1 app called "Roast" for $3.99, I haven't downloaded it yet so no idea of how good it is but I am sick of all my notebooks and loose roast logs so I may just get it.

BTW I like SM's especially Tom's notes on all the beans.

I find myself roasting until I like the look and smell, taking notes, posting the notes on the container, and adjusting from there until I find what I like. Not very scientific, but works so far.

As the utter newby that i was, Sweet Maria's was my encyclopedia that brought understanding of all that was happening as i roasted coffee in the first few months. Now my sense's of taste, smell and sight are able to produce cogent reactions to the vagaries of the coffee bean roast, but i still depend on Tom's roast level recommendations to guide me to the best conclusion.
