      Yeah, from the few years Ive been hanging around at Veneziano Ive learned that around 8 days post roasr tends to be a good time to start drinking. If you want to drink sooner then youre best off leaving the bag open for a couple of days to accelerate the process. Ive still got enough to get me through until it is ready... its the nervous anticipation as to what lies waiting for me. No plans to rush it though since I wont be doing it justice.

        So, thought Id report back on the success of this roast. Opened it up on Sunday, and after a couple of shots to dial in the grind, I was getting a very nice pour from Junior.
        As an espresso it was quite thin, but very sweet with low-mid acidity. Unfortunately somewhat non-descript as far as character goes. In milk, it was a very sweet coffee with no hint of bitterness. Theres a slight "toast" from the roast, which doesnt surprise me given the amount of smoke it gave off during the roast. I suspect that this will be unavoidable given how the chaff collects in the pot, but certainly wasnt unpleasant.

        All in all Im still convinced that this is actually a better cup than some of the beans Ive bought recently ;D Now Ive got to get some more roasted in the next couple of days so they have time to age before we go away for easter. Im looking forward to making a coffee for our friends, telling them I bought the coffee from coffee snobs (our friends buy brown here), then letting on after the fact that they were green when I got them
