Coffee Roasting

[Shift_Six]

I'm almost always using P5 and when 1st crack gets rolling drop down to P3. After 1st crack I give it maybe 1-3 minutes and hit cool thats almost always just before 2nd crack but not always. For my taste I like it to end just before or maybe a crack into 2nd.

This is exactly what we've been doing too. After some initial trial and error. We roasted 2 1/2lbs batches this weekend doing this and they came out great.

Anyone use the roastmaster apphttps://rainfroginc.com kind of cool to keep track of your roast and bean supply.

Roasted this up last night. Didn't time it but it was a little slower than the other roasts I've done. Looking forward to trying it tomorrow morning.

Mexican La Lagunilla thanks to the coffee pass. Probably the last batch I'll see from there for a while, unless I can track more down somewhere. Great bean, can't wait till morning.

This post isn't going to add much value but I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this thread. I never knew roasting your own coffee was even a thing until reading through everything posted, and now I'm on to youtubing and googling to find out more. Very cool stuff here. Carry on.

Warm weather here this weekend, so I may actually be able to pull out the roasting equipment

I have no affiliation with them other than having ordered from them in the past, but you may want to check out uroastem.com. Their prices are a bit better than Sweet Maria's.

For example, I prefer the Costa Rican Tarrazu bean. U-Roast-em has a one pound bag for $7.99 while Sweet Maria's is $9.15

Got a pound roasted today in the hot air popper. Took 7 batches at a 1/3 cup per batch at 9 minutes 15 seconds roasting time. Pleased with the results.

I have planned on getting into roasting for a long time. This forum gave me that final push. It is far easier than I thought it would be. I say jump in and give it a go.

Roasted up a full pound of this earlier in the evening. Probably let it go 20-30 seconds too long.

Oh man, let me know if you taste the pipe baccy in that one. Been eyeballing it for a while now.

Did some Mexican and Bali Blue Krishna tonight. Photos I took were too large to upload and can't figure out how to shrink them, but I can tell you they look great.

Roasted a full pound of Kenya while enjoying a Paul Stulac Lord thanks to @Maineiac. Took 8 batches of 1/3 cup at 9 minutes per batch with the hot air popper. Looks about like FC plus to me.
