Sample Roast - 10.3.22

I’ve roasted this coffee once or twice before, but I’m interested in how it’ll behave with my fan-only sample roast profile.

This roast felt very fast to me. We hit 1c right at 386F which felt early. I let this go for the 1:30 post 1c that I’ve been enjoying, but I think we’ll need some adjustment of some type to get this in a good place. Visually, the roast looked a bit too inconsistent for my liking.

Notes:

• some underdeveloped tones, little nutty, corn sweetness. Maybe papery.
• The earl grey note is there underneath the nut
• There’s a brightness to it. Lemon or orange.

Conclusion:

I want to get the roast looking more consistent, so I’m going to try this recipe but with P5. I think I’ll have to extend the development time to compensate, and I’m wanting to push development out more too. As a result, I’ll be looking for 1:45-2:00 development.

Sample 2 - P5 Fan - 10.4.22

Technically, I’m pretty happy with the roast. Bumping down to P5 from P6 added about 3 minutes onto the roast time. The RoR graphs are… interesting.

Notes:

• The nuttiness and corn sweetness are gone
• The papery underdevelopment is still there
