My Gene turned up today (Thanks again Chris), so as soon as school finished i rushed home to try my first roast. I think i even beat the kids out i left so fast.
The bean i roasted was a 300g mix of 4 unknown beans that Chris sent with the Gene. I roasted them to the instructions that Chris sent with them and im very happy with how it came out.
I couldnt help myself and pulled a shot not long after they cooled. Im not as good at tasting flavours as some of the CSers but i think i tasted a bit of a chocolate taste and also maybe a berry taste. My wife ( who i just realised im logged in as, im Christopher on the forums) also thought she could taste a berry flavour.
I cant wait for tomorrow so i can roast one of the beans i got from beanbay yesterday, and also for the next beanbay as i want to try so many beans.
I think im hooked as it felt so good to roast my own bean, i can see why so many people roast there own and to think that before my wife found this site in January i didnt even know you could roast your own and i thought the beans i was getting from the supermarkets were the best coffee i had ever tasted (that soon changed and the best coffee i have ever tasted is the Espresso WoW blend). I look forward to one day having my own roast that taste that good.
Thank you CS for opening my eyes to the world of real coffee and roasting (and for reading my novel of a post). I now consider myself a Coffee Snob.
Cheers Chris
