RE: Make Your Coffee Great Again: What are Natural and Honey Coffees?
No, nothing different. The flavors are already imparted into the beans during the drying process. The beans are then dry-milled to remove the outer parchment before being stored and shipped, so there won't be anything stuck on the beans that would affect the roast or gunk up a roaster. Of course, you won't want to dark roast this coffee - or any premium coffee, for that matter.
I always shoot for a minute after first crack. But the Poppery isn't very precise, so I sometimes get them too hot. It's harder this time of year because of the ambient temperatures.
When we lived in Michigan it was the opposite. I had to remove the little thermoswitch thingy from the popper so it wouldn't shut off, or it would just bake the beans because it wouldn't get them hot enough. Now I struggle because I sometimes get second crack almost on top of first crack. And blends are just plain confusing when that's happening. :)
Looking forward to more of your posts.
