NO TASTE!

I've been a bit ill lately with some sinus stuff and as a result, I have not been able to taste anything! Others have told me that everything has been tasting great though. I am hoping this crud is almost gone ...

Two Roasts with a Modified Gene Cafe Profile

Something a little different in the profile this time:
Stage 1: 300º F for 5 mins of warming / drying
Stage 2: 435º F for 4 mins (shortened from 5 mins 30 secs)
Stage 3: 460º F for 2 mins
Stage 4: 482º F for 2 mins 15 secs - 2 mins 30 secs (added)
Stage 5: 460º F for remainder of roast including 1st crack

I have included links to my roasting and brewing note for the two coffees that were roasting with this profile below:

Columbia Cauca Organic - La Esperanza
Ethiopia Late Harvest Yirgacheffe
