RE: Coffee's of the world - Nicaraguan Maragogype (the Elephant Bean)
Mmmm... looks so very yummy. I once got hold of an heirloom Sumatran that I wish I had measured. I swear it got bigger, popped a LOT like popcorn.
Monsoon Malabar is quite a big bean, and it does grow from being warehoused for a long time it soaks up moisture and flavours. It fascinating how coffee does pop towards the end of the roast, as the bean core splits letting out inner moisture.
I suspect that moisture is the worst part of my redneck roasting method, I am not sure enough really escapes fast enough but if I open the lid any further it does not hold its heat well. Still MUCH better than anything I can buy.
