Thanks for the help, I think we will be getting quality Honduran coffee so I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

and middle of the road Honduran beans? whats your opinion on those?

Life is too short to drink middle-of-the-road coffee. :)

I guess it depends on your market; even so-so coffee if roasted well will be better than the vast majority are drinking now.

With milder coffees like Honduran, even the stellar examples are not a knock-your-socks-off kind of coffee, they're more nuanced and delicate coffee, and so the less than stellar examples can be rather non-descript.

that makes sense, we are just starting out, but I agree that any fresh roasted coffee is generally better than what most people drink. I think we will just have to get some samples and test it out before we get a big bag. Would you say using a Honduran for a blend might be better than just a single source?

I personally shy away from blends; as a purist of sorts, I believe a coffee worthy of roasting should be able to stand on it's own. I simply enjoy appreciating a coffee for all it has to offer, and feel that blends, even good blends, tend to compromise a good coffee. But that's me, and I wouldn't say anyone's wrong for enjoying coffee, however they want to enjoy it.

Before blending your Honduras with another coffee, I'd suggest creating a melange with it... two or more roasts of the same coffee at varying roast levels. That might be fun.
