This is a really great roast at medium or medium light and is a favorite of our customers!

This should not have taken me by surprise, for El Salvador has been so good every time I return to buy those beans. I roasted this to 417F and used a development of just 17% to keep some brightness. I picked up Kiwi & Orange, underpinned by a sweet baker's chocolate. It's structured and leaves you with a great memory.

This is a really nice daily drinker/crowd pleaser coffee. Chocolate, nutty, and cherry come to mind with this coffee and the body is really nice and smooth. It works great in blends as well. It was very forgiving to roast as well for beginners and experimenting.

Smooth and mild with nice flavor. I roasted it to about city (it's my first day roasting so I'm not 100% sure) but past first crack. I also tried different grinds and find it imparts more flavor at a very fine grind in my pour over brewer. This is a great evening coffee when I want some coffee but not necessarily an overly bold flavor.

I enjoyed the El Savador bean. I roasted it past first crack. First pot did not have abundant flavor. Next pot I adjusted the grind size silightly, and it was really good. Very easy drinking coffee. It is not a coffee that I would drink on a regular basis, but I definitely want to keep some in the pantry so I can roast a bag every now and then.

Makes a great roast at any level, but especially makes a great light roast. Very smooth.
