New to roasting - 2007/04/23 03:09 I am brand new to roasting. I still am using the sample beans that I bought with my i-roast2. I like my coffee strong but not a dark (french) roast. I'm using the same drip coffeemaker I used with the grocery store beans. Now I can't seem to get my coffee strong enough. I used 40g of beans for 4 (6 0z) cups of coffee and I am having real problems making my cup of coffee strong enough.

Am I not roasting the beans long enough? For 1 cup of beans I roast 340 for 2 min, 400 for 3 min and 450 for 3-4 min (I've been experimenting). 4 min was pretty dark (I thought) but 3 min seems too light.

Is it the roasting? Do freshly roasted beans brew any differently? Any guidance for a newbie would be great.
