Don't know if you have got into the "P" and "I" settings yet, but; I found the "Proportional" value by pressing and holding the Shift and Function key (2nd from left) for 3 secs, then the "Set" key twice brought up the "P" setting. Mine is set at 36 but on the instruction sheet, the default(?) shows 25. Pressing "Set" again gets "I" (Integral Time) with mine set at 80 and the instruction manual shows 150. Keep pressing "Set" to get out of the menu. What's your view on these settings (36 & 80) and what is yours set at? Cheers. :coffee2:

Hi Kevin, no I can't get P and I...I wonder if mine has be locked out by a setting. Sorry to be a pain but are you able to cycle through all your individual settings and note them down for me? I'll go into mine and load those settings in and maybe it will allow me to access the P and I. If you could do this the next time you access your roaster I would be eternally grateful!

Hi Guys. Any chance one of you guys could shoot me a message with a rough price you paid to self import after taxes etc. I'm in Sydney (camden) and am interested. Weighing up self importing v buying from ebay here in Sydney. Cheers Ps is anyone close to Sydney and feels like showing off their ccr, would love a demo 🙂 will supply the green beans and beer to cover time!

Hi Lukemc, How did you go? I noticed there has been a lot of changes to this roaster so one has to be vigilant on what the supplier provides by asking the right questions and comparing with others who already own one. Changes could also be as drastic as the size of the drum supplied. Anyway, I have made several new videos of last night's roast. Here I am trying for a more linear curve with a more constant rate of rise. Pushing the roaster with a 1.25kg roast. I kept the heat on full all the way in this roast without adjusting except at the end I did turn off the heat in the last 1 minute to coast into 2nd crack. Hope it helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxmbc4AR_Ig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWrHkjiFTbY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpTTxt3MNHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIDerfcX3Ws

Hi Mae Vids look good, it's such a quiet roaster considering it's size I am waiting until January when Juan gets his first two roasters in, I will go and have a look at them. He believes they will have FOTEK Pid and timer and should be able to roast 1.2kg green, so hopefully they are specced the same as yours.

A quick question to fellow CCR owners. Does anyone perform a dry roast (bean-less) as a cleaning process? I have now done 50+ roasts and noticed the sight glass is beginning to get that coffee oil colour on it. Easy process to clean the glass but as for the drum and interior....? I am prepared to do an extensive pull down/overhaul soon as the roaster is almost a year old. But wonder if there is a cleaning recommendation for this roaster as I don't recall reading anything about it in the limited documentation that was available when purchased.

You could crank it up to 350 centigrade or so for about 30 minutes with zero airflow. That's how self cleaning ovens work anyway

Placed an order through the Aussie distributor today for my black on black (hopefully) roaster. 6 weeks for delivery. Time has slowed down already!!

Hi Guys, where do i find distributor contact details for this roaster Cheers James

I found mine by googling north coffee 1kg roaster. But it's rentaroaster in rude Sydney. His name is Juan

sctsprin

Thanks luke, is the north the same as the ccr?

lukemc

I think so but maybe someone with more of an idea can answer that one.

saoye

CCR was the name given to the roaster in this forum as previously there was no known branding. It's also known as JYR and a few other names. All slight variations of the same roaster. I know JYR is affiliated with North coffee.

sctsprin

ahhh, that makes sense, cheers
