Mexico was the middle batch, and the popper was cold. I had to take a break to put each of the kids to bed after the Honduras, and after the Salvador. I have tried some light roasts, but I am usually disappointed. My default roast is just into second crack, and some I push right into the middle. I usually roast the Sumatra, PNG, and Colombian pretty dark. The Sumatra is just better that way, but the other two seem to have an edge that needs to be burned off.

That was only the Mexico? This past weekend (MLK day to be exact) I was able to get most of them up to 425 (first crack+) without any help. It was pretty easy to send it up the remaining 30 degrees or so. For some coffees, I could have gone light and just left it at that. Did we roast on the same day? Sweet! That was only the Mexico?
