Just stick with it Larry. You won't figure it all out for a while but once you get there you're going to love the results. Love to hear about it as you go. I also luv using a French press. It's a nice bit of flare at the end of a dinner with friends.

Unlike yourself, I cannot tolerate New-Wave light roasts and so like my beans medium-dark as it is the cocoa and chocolate flavours that I want to predominate in my cup.
Nevertheless, if you haven't tried this variety, you might like to give it a run.
Couple of suppliers:

Rocky, Never tried this one but I looked it up on my green bean suppliers list. He's got them and I'm going to order some up to roast. Based on your comments I'll try a nice dark city roast get there slowly with a gentle temperature ramp. Thanks for the suggestion.
