What Coffee are you roasting this week

Today I roasted on the KKTO - a kilo of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Peaberry for review by member Moon I found a special reserved bag of Peaberry and thought it to be appropriate for this occasion Roasted to just before second crack Some will be sent to Victoria and a little kept for me to sample KK

I roasted a batch of Sulawesi Blue which came as a freebie with the Behmor I just got. It seems to have come up a CS9 on the old scale, and looks pretty consistent, so I'm hoping for good things.

Can't remember if I have ever had any Sulawesi beans Sounds interesting KK

Possibly unlikely KK as Andy has been supplying Sulawesi beans on CS for yonks. The Tana Torajah estates were the most common offered but Andy has been supplying the "Blue" now. I prefer Sulawesi to other Indo beans but I'm yet to try the legendary Java offerings others have raved about

Sulawesi coffees have been around and available for a long time. Quality has improved considerably over the last 3 - 4 years thanks to a determined effort by Tony Marsh and Jeff Nielson when they started major quality initiatives at origin in 2009 to educate farmers on improving their practices. Bukit Marante is perhaps the most well know of the Sulawesi. There are a few Toraja's out there but some are not technically genuine. Bukit Marante can be more complex and stronger than the majority offerings from their neighbors in Sumatra (Lintong and Mandheling). When it's on the money - there are few coffees that can match it - one of my all time fave's. $$ EXPENSIVE $$

Im back on the Zimbabwe Terranova from beangreen - and I cant get enough of this coffee 4 min preheat to 200C on the Gene Cafe, then 15min to first hint of second crack with max temp set to 230C Produces a lovely brick red crema with earthy / cinnamon aromas, which follow though on a rich and creamy palate!

im drinking mine 3 days post roast and Ive nearly finished it - oh well, time for another roast!

Funny, I never liked the terranova. Mind you mine was a clearance special a year or so back so probably different crop year and grading Maybe worth trying again. Right now I am just starting my second batch in a row of Guatemala finca Santa Clara. Loving this one right now, but having a few problems getting used to a pump machine again.

I've just ordered some as I don't think I've ever tried it. I'm loving the El Sal Argentina and that folks is an $8 special at the moment on BeanGreen. I'm pretty sure I paid a lot more for it only a few months ago. BUY BUY BUY!

my first batch I roasted too dark even though it was only the first snaps of second crack but it came up too ashy for my liking so ive progressively pulled back on the profile since then and Im on roast 4 or 5 now and the parameters seem to be much better - as does the taste in the cup!

Ahem..yesterday I roasted 1 kg of decaf for the restaurant and their friend. Not for me. Honest...

eggbert

Knew there was something else I meant to do this weekend. And I don't mean decaf.

I've just remedied the above and roasted 320g of Ugandan Kisoro AA which was kindly supplied to me by the previous Behmor owner. 1lb, P2 B setting. 12 mins to first crack 12:45 Rolling FC 13:45 Rolling FC stopped 2nd crack started at 17mins, and I hit the cool button straight away. Photo to follow once the roast cools.

I like to know what everybody is roasting but I would also like to know more about what roast profile you used and how successful you think the end result was. Just in the interest of knowledge sharing. I appreciate we are all using different equipment but still think it's a nice to know thing. Kenyan Gethumbwini 1.9kg in 1.58 out, FC at 9:23 @ 164c dropped at 13:23 @ 186c. (silver streak with artisan) Really like this bean and pretty happy, can't wait to get it in the cup in 6 days, hmm 4 days, cup it tomorrow maybe 😉 maybe even a photo happy roasting Chester

eggbert

hmm, thats darker than it looks IRL

Brett_H

I love that Kenyan too! Wonderful looking roast. Congrats!

eggbert

342g of Indonesian Bali "God Mountain" on 1lb P2 B on the Behmor. 1st crack started at bang on 12 mins and I stopped the roast at the star of 2nd crack. Ended up with final roast weight of 290g. Think it looks OK.[attach=1]
