I've roasted 2 Ethiopians. The Organic Limmu's were
ok @ 119g / 1/4# / P2 / B. Start time: 8:50. Added time during roast to get 10:20. Nice City+ roast. Coffee was average.
The Ethipian Harrar were roasted to FC+ (into 2nd crack for ~30sec) and were better. 226g / 1# / P3 / C Time at start: 21:30 Total roast: 16:50. FC: 7:44 and 2C: 5:07.

This is my 3rd batch of this bean. Since I'm not an experienced cupper, I can't commit. Except that everyone that gets a cup drinks it to the bottom!
Getting ready to try some Poco Fundo beans.
