    The failed batch looked a little like the pic below, far too dark for my taste.

    Looks just like Starbucks roasts, so if you like Starbucks you'll love em :-)

      IMO one of the best things about roasting for one's self using beans from BeanBay is that it minimises the pain of ditching a batch that doesn't offer pleasure.

        On the other hand, subjecting your palate to less than perfection now and again tends to make you much more appreciative of excellence, a wake up call to the palate, so to speak.

          Begs the question. What did you do with the "bloody oily mess that was not entirely undrinkable, but pretty close"?
          The last time it happened to me, I used them in a mesh bag to deodorise the car. Worked a treat and I got to smell fresh coffee beans for days as it worked.
