I’m enjoying beans of several different origins roasted to varying levels. 
Today, pictured here, I mixed equal parts of:
The extra flavors are such a relief from straight full city+ to espresso roast (well into 2nd crack).
Sweet Marias is advocating for a lighter “West Coast Espresso” roast. I’m there! They’re “right,” if there is such a thing.
I got a couple lbs. of the “Cup of Excellence” awarded Honduras beans they’re selling and tried it for espresso today at a City+ roast. It is absolutely excellent. The fear of course is that the City won’t be “+” enough and you end up with an insanely bright coffee. But if you push it to a nice darker City staying up to 15 or 20 seconds shy of 2nd crack (I’m guessing at that number, but it’s a fair bit, otherwise at imminent 2nd crack what you have is Full City, not City+) what you end up with is FLAVOR, and it’s not offensively bright. I promise.
