Organic Sumatra Mandheling, green
Some of the usuals to round out the week:
Organic Costa Rica La Amistad
Organic Columbia Paez San Pedro
Organic Honduras Octotepque - light roast
Organic Honduras Octotepque - dark roast
Organic French Sumatra
Decaf Vienna
I'm thinking of expounding on this information to include more details about each coffee, including origin information as well as roast curves. I've seen a lot of talk about transparency these days when it comes to the shared knowledge of the specialty coffee industry. I agree, and believe its time to start being much more open about how we're treating our coffee from seed to cup.

Friday Maintenance Day
It's Friday, which usually means it's clean-the-crap-out-of-the-roaster day. Maintenance is always a fun way to keep track of just how much coffee I've been roasting. The thickness of gunk built up on the chaff collector fan blades, for instance, tell me a good tale.
A typical Mon-Thu
However, today I've got a good half dozen roasts or more to get finished. This probably means I won't get to maintenance because the roaster will stay hot for most of the day, which then means I have to fit maintenance into either my weekend or the beginning of next week. Oh the joys of roasting coffee! Happy Friday everyone!

Thursday is the official hectic day for my roastery, here's what's in the lineup:
Organic Costa Rica La Amistad
Organic Bali Blue Moon Rain Forest Alliance
Organic Vienna Roast
Ethiopian Washed Sidama
Kenya Thika French Mission Bourbon
It's not so hectic for the amount of coffee that's needed to roast; but rather because today is also cafe delivery day. Several hundred pounds of coffee, tea, syrup, and chocolate need to get out to the cafes. Oh and its still something like -15 degrees outside... which always makes things interesting.
