    So... slower, and end of first crack and a few days rest for "aroma" and you should be right.
    Thanks a lot. Master. They were cooked in my cast iron pan. The critical timing between first and second cracks made my heart pumping faster
    I was just lucky to start with Yirgacheffe which gave me good aroma and flavor with bad looking beans.
    I somehow intentionally pushed fast first crack of the second roast of Wahgi, took off the heat for a while trying to get aroma. What a mistake..
    I will go slowly to the end of first crack.

    probably i ask you for some roasting help as well. The roasting in my photo was stopped while the first crack stared to roll. It has too much astringent aftertaste. The second try was stopped after the rolling second crack. The cocoa taste is dominant and stable but somehow boring.
    I did my first roasting with Ethiopia Yirgacheffe natural. I want some more aroma from the Wahgi. Any suggestion to achieve this?

    Thanks.. this Wahgi is SO different from Yirgacheffe, other than they are all coffee. :-)

    Does pan roasted beans have shorter fresh time?
    Probably more to do with your method of storage than the roasting method used....

    The PNG wahgi beans are easier to roast. They are so clean with minium chaff.
    Does pan roasted beans have shorter fresh time? My previous Yirgacheffe taste better in 3 to 5 days. Seven rest time seems too long.

    Huh, this is an idea id like to try. I doubt it will in any way compare to Andy's product but it definitely would be a fun experiment.

    Heaps of thanks for your replies. The big gain from the first roasting is I found the extra aroma and flavour I like, even with my terrible roasting. I did try some beans from local roasters but I couldn’t tell much difference. I though My milk covered the taste or my Moka pot couldn’t brew it properly. I may ask Andy, or anyone could help, an easy question. Which of your roasted Beans taste close to this Yirgacheffe? There are fruity nutty words in each bean description but I can’t really understand. If I get money to spare, I probably invest a espresso machine first. ?

    Another Seiko beauty! 6309? Original turtle. Worth a lot.

    I second the above roasting comments and will also add we ship the India Elephant Hills or the Peru Ceja or the Colombian Volcan with new home roasters as they are good beans to learn with. Naturals will always be trickier.

    As uneven as your roast is, you might actually like it and at the end of the day, your own taste has to be number one.

    Try less heat and more agitation. There a people getting good roasts out of a wok on a burner as it has no corners and it's much easier to whisk the beans.

    Keep playing and tasting and you'll find something that suits your workflow and tastes.

    Still have the watch Dave, its a replacement for a Seiko stolen from my locker by a cleaner many years ago, hope she enjoyed the watch, it cost her her job.
    I no longer wear it, replaced it with a Citizen Eco Drive about 6 years ago.

    Yes it has temp and blower speed control, makes quite a difference.
    It's important to keep the bean mass moving to ensure an even roast.
Working...
