The Mahal Coffee Roast Log

I didn't drink coffee at all until my early 30s, but since then I've really been making up for lost time.  I went from drinking pre-ground stuff you buy bagged at the supermarket (loaded with cream and sugar to make it palatable) to drinking specialty coffee roasted just a few days earlier (completely black).  And then this past Christmas, my dad - who has been roasting his own coffee for a while now - decided to help me get into the roasting game by gifting me a Behmor 2000AB Plus roaster for home use.

I don't know that I'll ever actually be in the game of selling coffee, but I nevertheless took the liberty of coming up with a roastery name - Mahal Coffee Roasters.  I've been learning Tagalog lately and it's a pun I liked, as "Mahal" can mean both "love" (as in "Mahal kita," I love you) and "expensive" (the language program I was using introduced the phrase "mahal na kape," expensive coffee).  And I do indeed love expensive coffee!

I've been keeping track of my roasts in a notebook, but I figured I would start blogging about them too, just to do something with it and be able to expand on my thoughts a little.  And if this ever does turn into more, maybe this will be a useful resource.  Shrug.

Ethiopia Dry Process Hambela Goro

Beans: Ethiopia Dry Process Hambela Goro Varietals: Ethiopian Heirloom Elevation: ~2000 masl Process: Natural Retailer: Sweet Maria's Pre-Roast Weight: 231 grams Roast Attempt: 76th Roast Date/Time: March 20, 2022, 1515 CDT I doubt you'd notice without me pointing it out, but the "roast attempt" number jumped from 67th to 76th from the last post to this one because I've spent the last month working my way through my sizable backlog of green coffee.  I'm almost there now - it should only take another couple of weekends and then I can actually roast the new coffee I got a couple weeks ago with minimal guilt.  This batch is the last of the really old stuff - I'm pretty sure it came with the roaster, which means it's been sitting around for 15 months, not ideal.  The main reason for this is that when I first roasted it, back on March 1, 2021, I was still pretty green and roasted the beans to a point where they were throwing off a LOT of flaming cha...

Puerto Rico Hacienda Las Nubes Washed

Beans: Puerto Rico Hacienda Las Nubes Washed Varietal: Caturra Elevation: ~600-800 masl (?) Process: Washed Retailer: Burman Coffee Traders Pre-Roast Weight: 234 grams Roast Attempt: 61st Roast Date/Time: December 18, 2021, 1530 CST This was the coffee that led me to bite the bullet and order from a retailer other than Sweet Maria's, and you can see why.  Puerto Rico!  Not an origin I've ever encountered in the wild before, and there are a number of reasons for that.  Per Burman, this particular farm was ravaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017 and has only just gotten back up to producing coffee (with coffee trees generally taking 3 years to begin fruiting).  Coming from a US territory and such a small producer, this was the most I've spent on a pound of green coffee to date - $24.99 - but I'm more than happy to support a small farm that is trying to get back on its feet after a disaster, and rare origins are catnip to me, so who's complaining? I hadn't roast...

Mexico FTO Comunidad Tierra Blanca

Beans: Mexico FTO Comunidad Tierra Blanca Varietals: Bourbon, Typica, Marsellesa Elevation: 1500 masl Process: Washed Retailer: Sweet Maria's Pre-Roast Weight: 235 grams Roast Attempt: 49th Roast Date/Time: September 26, 2021, 1130 CDT It's hard to believe that it's only been nine months since I first roasted my own coffee at home, but it has - the initial roast was December 22, 2020.  That first roast was a bag of the eight pounds Sweet Maria's includes free with the purchase of a Behmor - Mexico Organic Chiapas Sierra Mariscal.  In my most recent purchase, I decided to look into revisiting Mexico for the first time since then, and the description of these beans sounded quite intriguing.  I was also surprised to note the location - I had been assuming that the coffee-growing areas of Mexico were relatively contained, but this batch comes from western Oaxaca, hundreds of miles from the border with Chiapas.  They also included a varietal I had not heard of bef...
