Btw, did some some aeropress ‘cuppings’ today of the 3 Raost roasts and also put in a Colombian roasted with Firestarter as a comparison. I definitely think the Roast worked well with the Australian and the Kenya. Good, pleasant acidity and sweetness. The Peru was ok, and better than the Firestarter...

I took a look at the rehydration article... Do you have a moisture meter? Or are you just assuming you want to increase by around 4%? Had a quick look online and coffee moisture meters are expensive! Although would be handy. And I actually happen to have a coffee tree in the backyard and harvest ove...

I've tried the original Raost with a couple of washed beans: Australian Dimbulah Estate, Kenya Lena AA and Peru Kontiki. I cupped the Australian and the Kenyan today (2 days old), and I liked them. No noticeable defects (to my untrained palate!), and a good amount of fruit and sweetness. The Austral...

Looks interesting Benjamin.
Can you explain more how and why you optimized it for the Sidamo?

Hi Darryl, What are you measuring BT with to compare with the probe? an IR Thermometer? I didn't find the temps converging towards 2nd C myself... Il Guru, I would agree with Darryl that you just had some early pops. I get them occasionally. I regularly roast 120g, but I have tweaked fan profiles to...

Thanks Darryl. I’m guessing the reality is that actual bean temp is somewhere between IR and the probe. Kaffelogic have stated that the probe is a mix of environment and bean temp. I’m not sure whether there’s algorithms adjust what’s actually measured to ‘guess’ the real bean temp and display that?...

Further to this... has anyone done much testing with an IR Thermometer? I think it would be interesting to compare the bean surface temp according to IR with the probe temp recordings. I did some very basic, not super well controlled test the other day using an old IR thermometer I have (but it's a ...

Hi Peoples - especially Wayne and Chris! Can you help me understand a bit more the relationship between the Nano 7 probe temp, and the environment temp Vs bean temp that you see in other roasters data logging? Eg. this simple diagram from Scott Rao's website (article on crashing ROR's and baking): n...

After the helpful reminder not to turn off the machine between roasts... guess which button I accidentally pressed when emptying the roaster this morning??

I've never accidentally pressed a button when tipping, and you can always just turn off the machine before you tip...
