@TallDan - I was really close to buying a 5lb bag of that. How has the PB been roasting for you? Ive had trouble in the past getting it to behave - early 1C, etc.

sup roaster gang! i ordered some coffee from Klatch today. - a bag of roasted Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Worka Anaerobic Natural Gr1. man it's been a while since ive purchased roasted coffee! - 2lbs of the same. hoping to see how my roast stacks up! - 1lb of Unroasted Ethiopia Uraga Guji Anaerobic...

@applescrap - so you got the Ninja Coffee Brewer & that arm on it is a frother? I saw someone making iced coffee & adding frothed milk to it. Seemed to be a strong cold brew & they used a wand style frother for whipping up the cold milk. Been wanting to try it ever since. You'll have to let...

I only glanced at it myself. Have you had anything you really enjoyed lately?

has anyone had a good Peaberry or Guatemalan they enjoyed recently? craving something different

perfection. love that mug too!

you don’t have a RK Drum do you? I’ve always thought those would be a cool way to get into roasting bigger batches for a good price.

I’m on my 2nd batch of this Yirg and it’s REALLY good. Sweet & floral with earthy body. https://www.sweetmarias.com/ethiopia-yirga-cheffe-aricha-6929.html im very tempted to pick one up. I saw a video where a guy used his v60 setup with it. I like that flexibility

Do you find yourself adjusting the brew temp or presoak often?

@HarborTownBrewing - thats not too bad IMHO for 90lbs. I think keeping that out of the fan is a good call considering your configuration. How is the noise?

Heads up - SM's posted 4 new Ethiopians today. All 90+, all washed. I grabbed a couple.. been a while since I ordered a washed Ethiopian & Ive always enjoyed a floral Yrg.

@TallDan I was trolling around the usual coffee sources & wanted to hear your (and others) thoughts on this roast profile for a Kenyan Crown Jewel. Their gas drum roast(IR-5) had an overall time of 9:22 with about 15% development time after 1C. 16% loss & a +20* gain after 1C. In my...

Shorter roast times have given me the best results but I usually roast dry process Ethiopians. This particular Kenyan though is looking like it could handle some more time to caramelize the sugars. Have you been roasting any Kenyans in your HG/BM?

dang. are you considering a totally different profile or just making minor tweaks? Id like to try stretching out the time to 1C with the goal of getting the overall roast time above 10 minutes. Im happy with what Ive been drinking so far but it's always fun to try something new.

How did this roast cup out for you? I roasted my 3rd & 4th batch of it this weekend so Ive been drinking it for a while now. I find the acidity to be on the higher end. I haven't gone above +10* after 1C but a solid 15% development on quick roast is just starting to tame this bean.
