Disproportionate? Looks familiar to me . It’s just had a few too many!Oh, and I see...shall we say....something phallic, albeit a bit disproportioned (trying to be family-friendly here).

Now try for the opposite part! If you can do that then you are a latte artist!Side note on my espresso/cappuccino experiences......some people can make pretty leaves, trees and other designs when they add the milk/cream.
Me?......well what do YOU see?!?!

That makes sense. Dont want to give to much heat to the exterior of the bean as its drying. I like the time for this roast and suspect it will have a lot of berry flavor. Please keep updating, because I am curious how dense it is as well and may consider slowing green to yellow as well. Lately I have been back to full power straight through. Going 70 seconds approximately after 1c. I do not charge and that may help me with the full power.My first roast had a bit too much momentum at the start & lagged heading towards 1C. Overall the times/temps look OK & I’m excited to try it tomorrow.
Been drinking the Hangadhi this week & dang that stuff is good.
Edit: Made an 8oz Aeropress & even with less than 24hrs rest you can tell its good coffee. Very nice sweetness, just enough acidity & good berry content. Im looking forward to seeing how cleans up come Mon/Tues.
Here's the curve - next roast ill charge 5* lower (360* vs 365*) and postpone decreasing gas heading to 1C. Id like to see a shorter time% in browning & a more vigorous 1C.

That's great to hear! I could have sworn you had said you had recently cleaned it though, maybe I'm making it up.Well, I ran Dezcal again through the coffee maker and have been using it for a week now and the coffee is much better and the brewer no longer stops before its finished. So now I know I need to descale my coffee maker a little more frequently.
Anybody getting blueberry from the recent Banko?]
I clean fairly often and use whatever store has. My goodwill gevalia chunker and the espresso. Remember when I barfed in Vail on mildewy machine. Now I am hypersensitive and if it goes a week or two unused I empty water and leave lid open. But anyways I have been using oxy and asked before if anyone had or knew about it. But yeah a weak solution left to soak. Stronger in pot. And then rinsed a million times after that. Was amazed what came out.That's great to hear! I could have sworn you had said you had recently cleaned it though, maybe I'm making it up.
I had to run a vinegar solution through my Cuisinart a few months ago for the first time ever. I have had it for about 9 years, but we hardly use it, maybe once a week. Speaking of, I need to descale my Gaggia.
I like your thinking, a lot. I have gotten closer to 10 percent as well and it is safe, but maybe too safe. Less is where I think many of my roasts were at with that timer. But it is such a knife edge. One side perfect, one side slight green. So then I traveled down the path of less air and heat in the beginning to ensure there was enough moisture out to leave no green in core but that's tricky at the finish. And that's the moment where I figure i need a better machine, and or at least a thermometer for goodness sake, and of course more skill.ive been working with this coffee for almost a week now and i haven't picked up any definitive berry notes ... until this morning (about 1 week post roast). ive been brewing it in the chemex-kone setup and this morning I ran it through the v60 and ground the coffee on my monolith flat. this cleaned things up substantially and i can also tell there is room to speed the roast up finish at slightly lower temp.
hoping to roast another pound today or tomorrow. last roast was 9:14 overall with a finish temp of 401.3 (1C temp = 391.3) so a total of +10* development. Id like to cut this overall time down to 8:00/8:15.
Not roast-related, but I got the OXO cold brew maker since I had some extra Amazon GCs laying around and wow, what an upgrade over my nutmilk bag-in-1 gal fermenter setup. Seriously delicious concentrate out of this thing.
Can you share a link to the one you bought? Thanks in advance!
Looks like it will do the job well! Pretty cool to have a counter top brewer. I love cold brew too, any tips on ratio and grind. Is it wrong I drink it straight
SWMBO has approved the purchase of a behmor.
The jake?
Good point, I didn’t know there were multiple models. I will be placing the order so....going with the behmor 1600AB plus from sweet Maria’s.
Not approved for that but I feel like at that price point I would go with a bullet.Only one currently available, I think. The jake is supposed to be more than 5x the price of the 1600 when it’s released.
Btw, I bought THIS coffee grinder.
