Sweet Maria's Green Coffee Blends (#)
„Lighter roasts than this can be potent and bright, but the brightness seems a little askew with the overall pungent cup character ---so I prefer a darker roast to tone down brightness and underscore chocolate roast tastes. Let the "vanguard" beans enter 2nd crack, and the lags will be at City stage. Overall: 87.6 Compare to: eating a bar of bitterweet chocolate while sniffing flowers, or wild, DP, natural North African/Yemen coffees. Intensity/Prime Attribute: Medium to Bold / Fruity, earthy, winey“

„The target for roasting success is much narrower than with medium or moderately dark roasts. Plus, roasters need to be very disciplined about roast color, and gauge it either by cupping or by machine reading with an Agtron color reader. It is very, very difficult for the human eye to distinguish between beans brought to an M-Basic Agtron reading of 30 and those brought to a 18, even though the difference in how the two taste will be dramatic. Done right, the 30 has the potential to be roasty tasting but full-bodied, sweet and complex, whereas the 18 will end up a bit thin in body and anonymously burned in flavor no matter how well the roast is managed.“

Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Alpenrost Rotary Drum Home Coffee Roaster
„It roasts from 2 to 8 ounces of coffee beans at a time, so it's possible to roast only as much as is needed for a day or for the week. (Roasted coffee beans lose their flavor and aroma fairly quickly; they are usually at their best within seven days of roasting.) The company also has a wide assortment of custom-blended and estate green coffee beans, including decaffeinated and organically grown, which means the it's easy to create a special blend and custom-roast it to an individual taste. The patented "Flow-Thru" ventilation keeps the machine cool to the touch throughout the roasting process, and it handles up to 15 different roast settings--just press a button and the machine roasts, cools, removes chaff, and expels the beans from the drum. Those green coffee beans stay fresh for two to three years, so buy in bulk now, and roast in mini batches all year long.“

„But not as many people roast their own. Whether you are a home-roaster or not, knowing the different roast levels and their taste characteristics can be helpful when purchasing coffee.“

„It also does fairly quick roasts, and is especially good for "brighter" coffees, as it brings out brightness, and tends to mellow body a bit. Viewing a roast is super easy - the roasting chamber is entirely visible. The HWP roasts using a patented air / fountain flow system, where beans are sent up from a central air vent area, hit a deflector plate, and are then sent off to the glass sides. The concave base of the roasting chamber eventually feeds these beans back to the middle, where the fountain process occurs again.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„One, the Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee Dark Roast, was strikingly inexpensive at 23 cents an ounce but as decent a version of the extreme dark-roast profile as many specialty French roasts that sell for twice as much. The same low-grade, musty coffees may inhabit this bag as fill the red bags of the medium-roast "original" Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee reviewed earlier, but aggressive dark-roasting does wonders for low-grade Indonesia coffees, as many a specialty roaster knows. At 32 cents per ounce, the Trader Joe's French Roast was more expensive than the Eight O'Clock Bean Dark Roast but even more intense in its bittersweet expression.“
