First coffee

Two days ago I roasted some coffee (Mexican).  The beans have oiled up nicely so this mourning I decided to try the coffee in a Latte.  I ground 23g fine and fired up the espresso machine.
This is a VERY inexpensive machine I've had for some while.  It makes an OK cup of steamed coffee, not really espresso as there's no crema (foam).  Still I like the coffee.  I steamed some milk and in short order had a sort of latte. 
Yum - tasted very good.

All in all I'm entirely satisfied with the first roast.  I'll roast again tomorrow so I'll have coffee for a filter brew Monday.  Meanwhile, I'm going to work on the screen to keep the roasting beans in the roaster.
