Are there any other home-roasters in the community? I live in an area where the commercially available coffee tends to be pre-ground and stale. Over the years, I’ve started roasting my own coffee. Feel free to chime in to this post if you do the same or if you’re curious about it and we can compare notes on technique!
I agree with you on the pitting. I can’t avoid it whenever I go dark with my roasts, regardless of roast temp or method.
