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

Ooo pick me, pick me!

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 >:D 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.... >:D Maybe some sort of hood with a pipe running up to the dryer exhaust vent high up in the wall (?) Coffee scented clothing... mmmm

Koffee_Kosmo · July 2012

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

borat123 · August 2012

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:

Koffee_Kosmo · August 2012

Today I tested a newly built KKTO Did 2 roasts First one was 600 grams of Ethiopian Gambala Naturals Second was 400 grams of Guatamala Antigua Los Volcaneos Some of this roast session will travel with the roaster to the new owner KK

Jonty · August 2012

This arvo, 3 roasts on the Behmor: 1. Guat Lot 28 COE (250g), 14min roast on 1IbP2C - chaff thrower 2. Kuda Mas (250g), 1IbP2C - 17min roast 3. Blue Tak : Sidamo (100g:125g), 1IbP3C, 20min roast Jonty

shape_shifter · August 2012

I finally got around to the Brazil Toffee Cerrado. It's a small bean so I did 400 grams in the Behmor. Preheat to 100 degrees, 1 P2 C = 21:30 minutes on the clock 1C - 9:37 to go, 247 degrees, a lot of cracking happening at 8:30, 250 degrees so cracked the door for a minute until 7:30, 230 degrees. 2C - 5:37, 225 degrees, left it to 4:50 when there was a lot of cracking happening, hit cool and cracked the door for about a minute and a half then closed it and left it to run it's cool cycle. It's a bean you have to listen for, both lots of cracking were very soft compared to other beans, sweet smells coming from the roaster at different points, now just have to wait

beanflying · August 2012

Just finished off a couple of dedicated filter/siphon type roasts. 650g lots so very low power setting to manage but both to FC within about 20 seconds of 10 minutes (aiming for that) and coast to 1 minute past FC at 13.30 again within 20 seconds of each other

And they were Ethiopian Gambella Naturals a truly horrible looking roast but oh so tasty so it will be interesting to see how it drinks in a few days. The other after summoning up a little courage was some Costa Rica La Pira Geisha (only some cheap stuff @ $45/kg ::) ) Nice and even roast but going in a few beans looked a little wonky and uneven and resulted in 5 or 6 Quakers and another few odd ones I pulled out by hand post roast. Will pop the logs in the CCR thread with a little detail.

Brazil Daterra Estate - Sweet Collection Panama Boquette De Eleta Ethiopian Sidamo - Mormora Plantation Gr 3 Naturals Indonesian Sumatran Mandheling - Blue Batak roasted to first snaps of second crack 1C 12mins 2C 16mins *times are approx*

askthecoffeeguy · August 2012

roasted some Nicaragua San Juan Rio Coco in a popper during the week only 60g - took ten mins to first sign of second cracked - drank it as filter coffee and it came up a treat!

UNM · August 2012

interesting. I can't remember the last time anyone here posted about roasting coffee in a Popper. Most seem to be KKTO or Behmor. ten minutes to start of 2C is slow. wonder if our terrific weather recently had an impact.

It's the first time I've tried using one - so still need to experiment with all the variables Could probably have done with a longer preheat - plus I kept popping the lid open after first crack to inspect the progress of the roast - which stopped the roast each time I opened the lid Still... Nothing wrong with what was in the cup!

Koffee_Kosmo · August 2012

Just finished not more than 10 min ago a nice roast on the KKTO 800 grams of Columbian Andes Santa Rita This an easy to roast bean and from memory has a lovely hint of berry , and lots of smooth chocolate notes Just the way I like it :thumb: KK

borat123 · August 2012

1kg of Sidamo, this lot were the beans I brought back from the last visit to Ethiopia. I'm hoping they will be much better than the other Sidamo I bought locally. Also been playing with the pressurestat on the Urania. What I thought previously was set too high, was in fact just fine, and not burning the beans at all. It's now set to cycle from about 0.9-1.1

beanflying · August 2012

4 loads and playing with the extremities of a roaster a bit. in order

[li]350g La Pira Geisha[/li] [li]500g PNG Wahgi[/li] [li]650g Ethiopian Gambella Nat's[/li] [li]1500g ??? PNG Wahgi[/li] La Pira for Brewed and the others to Espresso roast. Will know more in an hour and a bit how they all went

borat123 · August 2012

Another kilo of the suspect Sidamo. This was quite an acidic bean and I roasted it quite light as its destined for cold brew.

Jonty · August 2012

No roasting this week for myself..... I've cracked a bag of Sumatran Lake Tawar from MyCuppa... Hmm brekky tomorrow will be like a kinder surprise

Baggy of potentially dodgy Wahgi for you tomorrow too

BTW The 1.5kg didn't reach 3rd crack, just a touch slow reaching FC for my liking

greenman · August 2012

300g Tanzanian Uru Estate--10min light roast just in to rolling first crack--for syphon and clever dripper brewing. Lots of body, sweet and juicy with blackcurrent/fruity flavours as a syphon brew only 50mins out of the roaster :thumb: :thumb:

JamesM · August 2012

Trevor, does this mean it's Tanzania tomorrow at Dimattina? I've got two Tanzanians I could roast up... hrmmm one is "special"

greenman · August 2012

JamesM · August 2012

I just finished a roast of Tanzania Blackburn Estate - Clouds of August... fitting?

Koffee_Kosmo · August 2012

Jonty · September 2012

Just a small 200g roast of Guatemala La Esperanza - Honey Processed that I am hoping to crack next Saturday or Sunday after I finish of the Sumatran Lake Tawar from MyCuppa (Enjoying it!!).

beanflying · September 2012

Corruption of others this week. Neighbor has a new Sunbeam/Grinder coming to replace his blade :instant: Grinder / Delonghi combo. Only drinks decaff but I have made him a 50/50 blend to try and a baggy of 100% Decaff (converting the masses) >:D So Ethiopian Gambella Naturals 750g and 650g of Ministry Grounds Decaff for the afternoon.

greenman · September 2012

did something I swore I would never do, roasted 600g of Indian Monsoon Robusta, took it 20 seconds into rolling second crack for a nice even chocolate colour, I will give it a try as a component in one of my blends ::) ::)

Koffee_Kosmo · September 2012

Had to do another roast this afternoon as stock is down to critical Larger than my normal amount again but same blend as my last roast, with more Gambala this time 150 gr of Yemen Bani 300 gr of Ethiopian Gambala Naturals 500 gr Columbian Andes Santa Rita KK
