Did a roast on the KKTO today the biggest weight I have done to date - 1300 grams Just after I commenced roasting it started raining ( Actually pelting down) could not hear a thing inside the roaster could not even the motor or agitator due to the noise of raindrops on the tin roof ??? Anyway I just used smoke as a guide to approaching 1st crack ect then removed the TO and had a close listen to confirm Todays roast was 600 grams of Guatemala Finca Santa Clara 200 grams of Guatemala Antigua Acate 500 grams of a South American Bachue - ( label is not good ) Total roast time was 22 min 30 sec with first crack at 17 min 15 sec Overall a good looking very even roast

KK - that would be Colombia Bachue - 18 screen Supremo. Notes your can expect...... FYI only.... sweet notes of cherry and pear with a bitter sweet balance from dark chocolate undertones. High grown, around Bogota in Cundinamarca, on the central branch of the Andean Mountains, with a perfect microclimate, the 'Bachue' is intense and complex. This is a bean well suited to a darker roast and consumed as a single origin. ** ** Information courtesy Coficom Trading P/L

I can't hear any cracks in any case unless I lift up the oven. I also use smoke for clues. You,ll have to let me know how it tastes from that 1.3 kg batch. Wow.That's a big batch!

That weight was an accident I intended to roast 1 kg and got a phone call - when I returned I added more greens and thought that looks more than usual ? Weight was checked at just over 1.3 kg I was contemplating 2 roasts but I thought - Why not give it a go and see what it's limit is Longer roast - for sure, but really nice and even KK

Yesterday I roasted 200g Colombian Popayan Tacueyo to first crack plus 5 degrees. Filter/siphon roast 250g Colombian Popayan Tacueyo to cusp of rolling second crack for espresso. Should be interesting comparison

askthecoffeeguy

ok yesterday I roasted some: Honduras Cup of Excellence Lt 15, which I had given to me, and some Tanzania Villanova - which I purchased from GreenBean Wasnt overly impressed with the Bean Green Have to say that I wasnt overly impressed with the COE roast - little bit of discolouration, I put this down to either the packet of beans having sprung open, and / or there being too much chaff in the chaff collector, which may have impacted upon airflow But I'll resevre judgement until I actually drink the stuff! But the Tanzanian was an absolute cracker! I pulled the roast just shy of second crack at the first noticeable puff of smoke, and the colouration was perfect! Not only that but Ive been drinking it for two days now - and yes, its only two days post roast - but its been absolutely knocking my socks off! In fact Ill be roasting more tomorrow for schizzle! P

askthecoffeeguy

wouldnt you know it - I tried to repeat the same roast profile on the Tanzania today and ended up over cooking it! So I redid the roast, dropped the temperature back to max 220C for 14mins then ramped to 230 for a minute - and bob's your aunty! P

Koffee_Kosmo

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.

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

mycuppa

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!
