I am addicted to Kona coffee. Since I am new to roasting beans what level should Kona beans be roasted to? I did order some of the Brazil Carmo Estate Peaberry green beans from SM to try and roast also. I like a sweet and light coffees. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Gail in So Cal

I've only roasted Kona 1EX and 1's in a 500 lb. roaster. We never went above full city in about 15 minutes. It's not grown at a very high altitude so it would be subject to burning in a real dark roast. I also agree with the others: you don't want to cover up the subtle flavors.
