Koffee_Kosmo I was demonstrating the roaster on Saturday and I did 2 back to back roasts From the Koffee Kosmo shop SUMATRAN MANDHELING BLUE 500 grams X 2 times And was given to the interested parties as a gift to sample at home KK
askthecoffeeguy Today I roasted up some Cuba Turquino to a light roast for filter on my newly modified KKTO (with new double sided agitator arm and new insulation) - and I was very impressed with the even nature of the roast and the fact that I managed to shave around ten minutes off my usual roast time Wouldn't mind getting a thermocouple though to monitor the temperature of the roast as the turbo oven appears to 'stall' mid roast - but thus could just be my imagination - which is why temperature monitoring could be good to observe what is actually going on Still, can't complain about the results as the coffee came up a treat and drank like a dream in my clever coffee dripper: 35g of coffee to 300ml of water steeped for four minutes - now that's what I'm talking about!
Koffee_Kosmo Just finished 2 roasts 625 grams of Peru Ceja de Salva Estate as a KKTO demo and gifted 800 grams of PNG Kinjibi AA KK
askthecoffeeguy impromptu blend of columbian peaberry and ethiopian yirgacheffe - smells delicious cant wait to taste it!
Koffee_Kosmo The Cricket is going belly up and I thought it was a good time for a roast Had some small amounts of beans so decided to do a combo roast 300 Grams of PNG Kinjibi AA 300 Grams of Brazil Alterosa RFA 280 Grams of Peru Ceja de Selva Estate Total roast weight = 880 grams All beans were physically different and also processed differently so they needed special approach With my trusty KKTO I did a 3 minute stabilisation roast just to get a level playing field for all the beans Then I just roasted them as per normal 1st crack was at 11 min 30 sec but I did observe 3 separate crack periods 30 to 40 seconds apart 2nd crack was 7 min later at the first sounds of pops and dumped to cool Roast colour is beautiful and even across all the beans The wife said she wanted caramel tasting beans I hope this mixed bean roast will produce what she requested KK

Koffee_Kosmo On Sunday I celebrated my 29th wedding anniversary by visiting a nice restaurant and a home roast upon my return back home Started on my last 5 KG of Gambala Naturals and roasted an 800 gram batch of Ethiopian Gambala Naturals on the KKTO KK

askthecoffeeguy Roasted up a batch of Sulawesi Ranti Kapua Torajah during the week and ran it through the Clever Coffee Dripper as a filter coffee, for my work - on the weekend Aromas of figs and almonds which follow through on a roast capsicum and nutmeg infused palate ! By far one of the best filter coffees I have tried

I wont point out who it is for privacy reasons but the KKTO owner has left a testimonial on the Koffee Kosmo Roaster site askthecoffeeguy wrote: Roasted up a batch of Sulawesi Ranti Kapua Torajah during the week and ran it through the Clever Coffee Dripper as a filter coffee, for my work - on the weekend Aromas of figs and almonds which follow through on a roast capsicum and nutmeg infused palate !

askthecoffeeguy took it to first snap of second crack in hindsight I'd like to take it a little darker but there was nothing wrong with the flavour!
Koffee_Kosmo I have just completed a lovely roast on the KKTO 800 grams of Brazil Alterosa RFA Pulled at first snaps of second crack KK
Koffee_Kosmo First time I have roasted this bean Roasted to 20 seconds into second crack then dumped to quickly cool 700gr of Sulawesi Toarco Jaya Triple Picked KK
askthecoffeeguy So how did it go AM - how do you rate the hot top compared to the kkto in terms if performance and outcomes?
Koffee_Kosmo Roasted recently on the KKTO 700 grams - Peru Ceja de Selva Estate - Organic One of my favourite coffees since last year Also did 2 KKTO demonstration roasts and the crowd was impressed They were - Rwanda Gisenyi, & Nepal snow washed pea berry This roaster is so easy to use, even if I say so myself KK
