Had a couple of goes with these Ethiopian beans in my new Behmor. First was a cock up with a woefully underroasted CS5-6. I was roasting 250g on 1/2, P2, B. Got to first crack but the roast stopped before 1C was done.
Second attempt was heaps better. This time I used 250g on 1/2, P3, D and added 20 secs for a total roast time of 15:20. Got to 1C at 13:35 but no sign of 2C.
A quick search on this bean in the forums seems to suggest that 2C is fairly elusive. Wondering if anyone has made it to 2C without blasting the beans to CS12 and beyond.
Flavour is pretty good on the my second roast but I am curious as to what other characteristics might emerge from a brief brush with 2C.

Im sure I went to 2nd crack... and nearly to a fire o_O I guess the taste of that coffee is rather different to that of a "brief brush" with 2c
