RIP Coffee (Roasted in Parchment) City+ Roast

Roasting coffee in parchment is tricky. First off, parchment adds to the combustible load in the roast chamber. YOU NEED TO STAY BY YOUR ROASTER. Don't walk away from this one, even in the warmup stages. Secondly, how in the world do you know the level of roast, and where to stop it? You can't see the green coffee. Well, that's one reason I took these images. This is a City roast (not recommended) where the exterior of the parchment has a red-brown color, with dark splotches.
