Added some links to the event on the ArtisanCoffeeAlliance.com (ACA) website and purchased some event beans for myself as well...
Along with some "93pt" Yirgacheffe on the side; my Ethiopia stockpile is was dwindling. :)

One thing I just thought...

My website doesn't have an option yet for adding blends to it. I'll have to figure out how best to handle this one...

Guessing I'll add a country named "Blend" and go from there. I'll post an update on here and let people know what I come up with.

I personally think you could hit leave it as "blend" I mean, the main reason it matters is to identify general trends of the bean in question and recognize if the bean you have is likely to be similar, which is really just a general starting position at best, but is useful for starting out anyway. Given how general that is even with a country identified it would be kind of ridiculous for someone to start breaking a blend down in that fashion. If it is a artisan alliance we should really be pushing for post roast blending anyway, pre roast blending is decidedly less artisan:) not to say it can't ever work out, but it's obviously not about precise control and optimizing the roast profile for each bean. Just my opinion anyway

That's fine, but what about "espresso" and "Sweet Maria's Majirani African Blend"?

In the past, we've only done traditional contests and I thought one centered on espresso would change things up. Whatever direction it ends up going is fine; just fun and no pressure.

What about copying the description from SM and incorporation it in the beginning of the thread; it's an interesting read?

I just put "Espresso" in the title but when I played around with the Sweet Maria's stuff it looked a bit too long for a subject line but maybe that's just me? If you (Hank) or anyone else feels otherwise or has an idea of what would make a better title just holler.
Hank you should be able to go in and add the description to your first post but if you don't want to or the edit option doesn't work for you let me know. That description is so great it had me hooked immediately. And typical of Sweet Maria's- they're in a class all by themselves.

I take back my comments in reference to the roast and learn, I somehow didn't realize what was going on here...

All right, made some changes on ACA that I think should work for this group roast:

Added a Country named "**Blend**" (will be at the top of the Country list)
Added a Region named "African (SM's Majirani)"

So select those options if uploading a profile on ACA for the group roast and you should be good-to-go.

If anyone has a better idea/option, feel free to let me know. :)

Beans arrived today and I tossed em right in the roaster  ;D
The profile can be seen here:
https://www.artisancoffeealliance.com/ACA/view.php?iroast=6-2016080423160201
Now the hard part begins- waiting for it to rest.
Oh- I forgot to click in Artisan for an adjustment I made at the beginning of first crack- I raised the heat to 2.kPa for 50 seconds then dropped it to 1.0.

After a too short 3 day rest I pulled a couple of shots this morning. First was 18g in and 22g out, 26 seconds. Second was 18/18/26. I don't have much of a cupping vocabulary and frankly I couldn't identify any specific notes anyways but the main thing I taste is a simple sugary type sweetness. Not fruity, not chocolate or caramel but clear and dominating sweetness. Body and acidity seem evenly matched- probably due to the long-ish development since the write-up mentions heavy brightness. Seems like a roast that would please even people that don't like espresso because they think it's bitter- there's no bitter in these shots. I wouldn't call it an intense espresso but it's incredibly tasty and makes me want more  :)

I will agree with you, Greg.  I thought the beans had an incredible chocolaty caramel smell right after roasting so I was looking forward to the cup.  I don't get the chocolate or caramel but do get the sweetness.  The beans have rested 72 hours but maybe they need a bit more. I'll be trying different profiles so we'll see what develops. I'll get the profile up on ACA shortly.

Just received my shipment of beans from SM, though not sure if I'll have time to roast some this week.

Looking forward to testing out some of the profiles others have shared too!

Roasted two batches this morning; one medium city+ and the other full city. The full city roast as filter coffee was chocolate with some very light acidity, pretty nice. As espresso with steamed milk, milk chocolate without sugar. I'm going to wait and see how the medium roast turns out before another attempt.

Anything yet?  Reason for asking is wondering about the suitability for pour-over.
I plan to roast a batch this afternoon.

I had to work out of town so wasn't able to enjoy this roast til it was 16 days old, except for that first early taste. This blend is spoiling me now though- it's so sweet and tasty- forgiving too. The shots I pulled that went too fast were even good.
Next roast, which hopefully will be today, will be shorter- going to try to get a brighter roast to see how that tastes. Last one was 3 minutes of development, next one will be 2:30 if all goes as planned. The first one I posted on ACA but forgot to insert into this thread too so here it is:
