For my part, I am still relatively new to home roasting and am having fun finding out all about the beans on a steep but exciting learning curve. There are others here that have even less experience than me, so it would be nice if some of the old hands at home roasting discussed favourite beans and blends for the benefit of all.
I am currently enjoying blends of the limited stock of greens at my disposal with some beans roasted by Steve and Matt respectively. This morning's capp was 60% Manuela, 30% Harrar and 10% Monsooned Malabar Robusta (cheers for that caffeine hit Matt
). Very nice too - in fact I had two! My Mum tried it and immediately said "Lots of fruit eventually becoming caramel with a sharp kick too" - she is scarily good at tasting and had no idea what was in the blend 
.
The home roasted Manuela seems to be best as a SO at/after five days old for me. The initial smokey tones have become floral by then and the caramel rich and deep, with the cup ending with a dark chocolate note.
I am about to work out a greens order, so should have some more bits to play with soon.
What is everyone else up to at the moment?
Still recovering from my cold...
