Very nice! Roasted it in an SR540; brewed it with a Hario V60 and in a French Press. Both were lovely!

I bought a sample size of this to see how it tastes. I roasted it on SR540 - first time, it came out so well - perfect coffee for me - dark, tasted fine - no bitterness etc - loved it - earmarked this as my #1 coffee bean for a long time. Second time brewing, same bean, same roaster, same settings came out very under-roasted - no idea what happened (I am new to roasting - still same qty, settings can't have such a vast quality difference), 3rd time, I did the roast with much longer time and came out ok....This is certainly a great bean....If there are any roasting experts here, pl guide me.
My settings are mostly 0-3.30 - F6P9; 3.30 - 5.00 - F6P8; 5-6.30 - F6P7; 6.30-7.30 - F6P6; 7.30 onwards cool down. I did hear two stages of cracks - first one at around 4 minute and second at around 6.30 mts....

One of my favorite "Daily Drivers" for a basic dark roast. I usually roast them to about 30 seconds into the 2nd crack on a FreshRoast 800 with extension tube. Give them a minimum of 48 hours to outgas. Dark, Earthy chocolate notes with low acidity and zero bitterness. Nice as a pour over or in a French Press. I haven't tried them as espresso yet.

Sumatran Mandheling is my favorite. Coffee Bean Corral offers great prices and quick service plus I like the burlap bag the beans are shipped in. Roasting the beans myself is a good way to save money and since I'm retired what else do I have to do?

Coffee Bean Corral had the best price I found. I like the heavy duty plastic resealable bags that they ship their coffee in. Ordering was a snap.

My wife loved it. I am not a big Sumatra fan. I will say the beans looked good though and they roast well. I will be purchasing this again in the future for the wife. Sorry I didnt give it a better review...I just am no fan of Sumatra and my wife doesn't do reviews.

Roasted about 30 seconds into second crack, pretty dark. Perfect dark roast. Heavy body but smooth. One of our favorites.

I haven't had the greatest of luck roasting Sumatra beans. These are good, but I think I need some additional practice. I've tried other lower grade Sumatran beans with less luck. Grade 1 has provided the best results for me.

I haven't had a chance to roast any of the Sumatra but the beans look good and it was delivered in only a few days. Good price and good service.

I had a difficult time getting these beans to roast evenly, however the earth and rose flavors come through clearly.

This was my first time roasting and I bought these beans along with the sample pack. These are great beans. I roast these are am getting better at roasting everyday. I have found that after roasting these and leaving them in a dark place for a couple days they taste better. I also bought the sample pack and am looking forward to trying those beans as well.

I had for years been buying coffee beans from another distributor and now for the past couple years the beans they have sent me were either very low grade grade or a mix. Only because I have been roasting for years can I detect that. Anyway the beans from Coffee Corral have been spot on. After roasting my beans Specially the Sumatran beans I let the rest in a cool mainly dark area for three days minimum then grind and brew. Good beans Coffee Corral. Really appreciate it.

This is a new favorite - I find it shines in both Chemex and French press when roasted just into the second crack. As other reviewers have noted, chocolate notes and low acidity make it one of my "standard" beans to keep around.
