I've just started drinking a batch of home roasted peaberry beans from Costa Rica. SCA 87, tasting notes of strawberry and blackcurrant. Straight double espresso of course.

I definitely have red fruit notes and a balanced acidity. It smells like chocolate covered strawberries. I like it a lot.

How dark are you roasting ? I did a recent home roast and I guess it was too light(lite?) as the water just rushed to fast when pulling a shot. It does however taste great on the v60.

I tend to roast to the lighter side. Definitely trickier to pull compared to darker roasts, but it's worth it.

FWIW I wasted a lot of coffee on my first batches, it took some time before I settled on a routine that works. What's your process?

I typically keep heating the beans a minute after first crack then cool. I'm using the Popper where temp is not too accurate
