With these three (3) roasts I have finished roasting the last of this bean. I stuck with the roast profile I've developed for this bean on all three (3) batches. The last batch was 3/4 cup instead of the usual 1/2 cup since I didn't want to roast a small 1/4 cup batch.
ELF Software Improvements
I've recently completed a couple of improvements to the ELF roasting software.
Previously, roast profiles needed to be reloaded before each roast. Now, after stopping a roast, restarting will automatically reload the roast profile at the beginning. This makes it quicker to do back-to-back roasts.
Also, the temperature gauge is now a single background image with a needle image that rotates to point to the correct temperature. Before, there were over 150 images that were used to indicate different temperatures by having the needle point to a different temperature in each picture. With this change, the web page loads much faster and the needle rotates smoothly between temperature changes instead of "jumping". It looks much more like an analog gauge. This was fun to work on and I am pleased with the result.
Download the latest and let me know what you think.

Sumatra Boru Batak (Happy Mug)
I've really grown to love this coffee. Once I learned it takes higher roast temperatures, all the roasts have been coming out great. It has a tangy, almost grassy taste, in the middle of the drink. This doesn't sound enjoyable but it is very pleasant and leaves no aftertaste. I've offered it to several guests and all have enjoyed it.

Ehiopian Natural WOTE Konga (Happy Mug)
I've roasted these beans several times to the start of 2nd crack. The resulting coffee is OK but lacks any nuttiness or depth. This time I decided to roast these through 2nd crack for a roast close to a Vienna roast to see if the flavor would improve.

Finally was able to do some roasts with the new roast profile feature of ELF. I also used the marker feature to mark first crack start, first crack end, and second crack start.
Roasted two batches of Sumatra Boru Batak. This coffee has really grown on me since I've dialed in the roast. I used the following profile for the first batch:
