Brazil Poco Fundo Green Coffee Beans

As reported in my previous post, I was about to roast some Brazilian Poco Fundo green coffee beans. I used the following profile, which is saved as #3 in my i-Roast 2:

• 385F for 7 minutes
• 430F for 2 minutes
• 465 F for 2 minutes

The roasting profile seemed to work out very well for these beans, which are on the small size. The color was medium to dark-medium. The beans when ground were the same color as the exterior color of the beans, meaning I had pulled off the perfect "Full City" roast.

The beans produced acceptable crema, though less than was produced by the previous beans I was testing, Timor Maubesse beans. The flavor was on the sweet side, and they made a very pleasant espresso-based drink. (Try my favorite, a flat white). If I had to choose between this, the Poco Fundo from Brazil and the Timor Maubesse from Timor, I would prefer the Maubesse.

Next up are Bolivian Cenaproc beans. Once again, organic green coffe beans, shad grown and certified USDA organic.
