Today's Roast: Indonesian Sumatra Mandheling Grade 1 Toba

Today I roasted one cup of this organic Sumatran using my now-standard Sweet Maria's roast. As is typical with this particular bean, recognizing the cracks and distinguishing between first and second crack are very difficult. Actually, every time I roast this bean I end up feeling like the first crack was skipped entirely and the bean only went through the second crack. I'm sure you can imagine the mathimatical quandry this puts me in!

Anyway, I took this bean through the whole 9 minute roast cycle. It went to full city or maybe even full city plus, but it does not seem burnt.
