Just wondering why all the posts I see about roasting coffee here talk about going to the 1th crack...into the 2th. I'm from the other side of the pond so maybe that is why. Don't recall what they use on US coffee forum sites when referring to roasting and when the bean cracks.
I usually refer to the first of anything as 1st, second as 2nd third as 3rd. From there most are Nth except 21st, etc.
I noted the thread in this forum about DEXTER RULES referred to the 3th season so thought I would ask.
Cheers!

Not everyone in this forum is a native English speaker.
Three Francesconi (CMA) espresso machines - Rossi, San Marco, LaCimbali, Faema and 2 Mazzer Major grinders- CoffeeTech Maggionlino, Hottop, Alpenröst and HW Precision roasters.
I decided I needed a bit of a change so I roasted some Monsooned Malabar. That was a change!

Indeed - that explains the high general level of English, despite the home-crowd best efforts!

Many languages make no distinction (Spanish is 1a, 2a, 3a etc or 1o, 2o, 3o depending on noun gender).
