What Coffee are you roasting this week

Brett_H

I love the Liquid Amber as a single origin but i found is best after about 7 days resting. Perhaps that's just me??

It's definitely not ready yet, but I'm getting a hint of what will be. Given how easy it is to roast it could be my go-to easy Single Origin.

Sitting at the roaster as it passes 120 degrees on a warm up in the dwindling winter sunlight. Before me I have the last 1028g of my precious MTE Bin 35 😢 It has been a great Aussie bean in a sea of mediocrity.

Can't get any more? (I was incredibly underwhelmed by Costas' Aussie offering).

Worthy of it's own thread but keeping names and such out of it would be very hard. So much of the Australian grown coffee is average at best and some of it so below par against cheaper imports it makes the local industry look bad. 🙁 The MTE coffees I have either roasted or had as roasted by others have been better than the average and while maybe not worth all the premium (yes costs here are huge compared to virtual slavery) but certainly worthy of considering to drink/roast/buy. Not sure if our couple of green suppliers can keep an eye out for us on the MTE front and or anything else worth considering? Also should note that some of the local production goes direct to end users too as roasted to make people feel good about buying local in spite of the short comings.

While you guys were all having fun at the meet, I was planning my first blend with more than 2 beans. I was guided by the KJM blends and did the following. 24% Peru 20% Hue 32% Harrar 24% Kimel A [attach=1]

Well I did a couple this afternoon. It is that cold in the garage that I was blowing smoke signals to myself! Been about a month since I've had a Indo by itself & the wife is wishing for it... So today saw me do 300g of Sumantran Lintong & 300g of Nicaragua Matagalpa Diamond Microlot. The Lintong was taken to just 2C and the Matagalpa was pulled before 2C.

Just competed a KKTO roast of a lovely Central American A nice little Costa Rican number I am testing for the KK shop 600gr of Costa Rica SHB Roasted to just first snaps of second crack KK

Just did two back to back 1. columbian supremo 2. ugandan Mt Elgon A Both had near identical roast times - 1st C @ 12.40 2nd C at 18.50 - pulled at 19. I can confirm that the Aldi halogen TO did not cycle out once set to 250 which was great for vision upto 1st C.

Currently in the cave roasting 🙂 PNG Wahgi, Ministry Grounds Pre Blend and currently in the roaster is the Yemen Sanani Mocca. The Sanani has pong to it in the roaster and I am not sure it is a good one :-| Smoke, moisture, chaff near silent cracks. Interesting roast to say the least. Due to the smoke and odors coming off I was running more fan and more heat between F & SC. I really need to move the ET probe too. Wahgi [attach=1] MG Pre Blend [attach=2] Yemen SM [attach=3]

Roasting a secret special blend This blend has a Yemen, PNG, Costa Rica and Ethiopian The secret is in the prep 1) All beans were separately stabilized in low heat 2) Beans were roasted together but not pre blended 3 The roast was a stagard bean drop The hard dry grown beans were started first First the Ethiopian followed by the Yemen 30 seconds later They were followed 45 seconds later by the Costa Rica SHB and another 45 seconds later for the PNG Total green bean weight was 900 grams As this blend is destined for the bean swap I won't reveal the amounts now KK

Whoa. All sounds a bit fancy KK 😃

Maybe I should fire up again tomorrow and really play mad scientist for Bean Swap. My evil side says Robusta at 30-50% for lingering goodness >😃 Interesting option KK with different drops. I am starting to look at some post blending options/containers for 5-10kg lots and stick with roasting each as needed.

Roasted a kg of Sidamo yesterday afternoon. It's getting so hot (mid 40's) outside I'm seriously considering roasting indoors. I wonder if the missus would let me roast in the laundry.... >😃 Maybe some sort of hood with a pipe running up to the dryer exhaust vent high up in the wall (?) Coffee scented clothing... mmmm

Roasting on the KKTO as I post on the iPad 600 grams of Guatamala Antigua Los Volcaneos It's the 100% genuine stuff Originally supplied by sponsor Mycuppa 200 grams of this SO will be separated to be sent with the blended bean swap beans KK

I'm not a big fan of bright, citrussy coffee, so finished off the last batch and back to an old favourite. 1kg of locally sourced Harrar, on a hot and steamy 38degs evening. Roasting while a C17 passes over the top of my house :thumb:
