I've read that they are a pain to roast.

I'm starting to get a handle on the different levels of roasts, now it's just figuring out which coffees do best at which roast. My understanding is that most African coffees do well at a city roast (hope I'm using that correctly--just past 1st crack but before 2nd crack).
