It would be nice to see recommended roast levels on all your coffees. I like this one, and roast it to just before/during the first 30 seconds of second crack.

I have roasted this blend 56 times. I roast 1lb total, 4oz at a time with a SR800. Somewhat time consuming (I just love roasting) but very easy to control. As you can see, I love this blend. Buying more as I write this! I roast 1 minute out of first crack which is approx. 445 degrees. Each roast usually lasts 10 minutes since I start at 9 air-1 temp and change every minute until i reach first crack which is usually between minute 7 & 8, by this time I'm at 4-7 and I leave it at that setting until cool down which adds another 1 minute. I have noticed that outside temp and humidity play a role in my roasts too. Because I keep very good records I can predict most of the effects and adjust if needed. Keep On Roasting and supporting Coffee Bean Corral.

Bold, smooth, full of flavors that compliment each other well. The 5 rating on CBC Matrix is right on the nose. I am picky about black coffee but I will gladly drink a cuppa straight from the pot; but I do add a sweet cream to this blend which enhances it's flavors without taking away from coffee.
Started with pre-heating roaster to 220C and continued until first crack and then raised temp to 240C until second crack. Turned off heat but kept agitating beans for another 5 mins (I don't know if my roasting process is a normal way to roast but it works well for my roaster and hasn't given me a bad batch yet). Total roast time was about 20 mins with a medium roast.

This coffee is absolutely delicious. So smoothe. So balanced. So much flavor. No doubt I will purchase this again! Roasted just into second crack is the sweet spot.

I use my coffee beans 2 ways, one is to make green coffee for the health reasons and the other for my hot coffee that I roast dark I wanted to try the 4 Horseman and it turned out great to work both ways for the green and the roasted. I am very happy with the way it turned out. But I still like a good selection of beans. Thank You Jack

My everyday coffee and one of my staples in my coffee lineup. I roast a light medium and a medium dark. Both produce a different coffee and notes. Definitely will keep buying.

Low acid coffee. I roasted to a medium plus, but probably need to go to second crack next time. It reminds me of a Nicaraguan coffee that I roasted last year. Light and mild. I think I'm simply a fan of stronger coffees.

Finished my 86th roast a couple of days ago and ordered another batch right away. Got a notice from ups it's been delayed. Hopefully only a day. My order was filled and shipped super fast, these people know what they are doing! Can't rave enough about their products and service!!!

Just roasted this blend of beans for the first time yesterday, 3/28/22. All the beans seem to have roasted evenly and have a uniform color. 1st crack on my Fresh Roast SR540 was at 412* (around the 8:35 mark) and I roasted them til the last crack at 435* (10:10 mark) Another roast that I am excited to try in a few days!

Great blend for a morning sipper on the patio. Always in my rotation. Never disappointed by CBC beans and service.

THis is my third purchase of Four Horsemen. The first time I roasted it too light. I found that the medium roast was the best. I'm not a fan of dark roast yet the medium roast maintains the sharp taste I like. I compared it to a few others and found that I prefer blended beans like this one.

Still early in my roasting life but this one I like. This is my second purchase of this blend.

Probably my favorite out of all the coffees I have purchased. Roasted to a medium. Not too acidic, well rounded and fruity

Very well rounded coffee. With my roaster, these beans have consistently produced the best results. Balanced, a bit of fruitiness, and some nutty finish.
