Re: Suggested beans and roast depth for a more syrupy finish
Darryl and G. Thanks for your feedback. I'm really keen to realise the aspiration here so any detail I'm soaking up. Trying to limit to 90gm roast is what led to the notion of doing like altitude. Others have reported great success with pre-blending but that hasn't worked for me with the bean set I'...

Re: Suggested beans and roast depth for a more syrupy finish
Hey Geronimo, Day 5 with my batch and...yeah, same as you. It hasn't gone so well, though I was warned. So my next attempt will be the same recipe (might switch the Chavez) but will try Wayne's new profiles to match the bean altitude. I suspect that the Huehue and Sidama are from similar altitude an...

Re: Suggested beans and roast depth for a more syrupy finish
Darryl, I too will be fascinated with learned responses here. In NZ we can't get half those beans. Two days ago I tried my first hand at KJM, coincidentally. Two compromises, Used beans available AND pre-blended 500gm using KJM ratio and roasted at 3.3 on Damian's D-Roast. Another couple of days bef...

Re: Green Bean Sources & Quality
@espressoplease - I'm definitely not qualified to answer your query and I'm interested to see what responses are forthcoming. I note that, too often, green bean suppliers are coy on the grade of bean being sold. If they do, then there appears to be a couple of different standards being used. As I un...

Re: Studio 4.1.2 Issues
Ok. So, I found that if I "Maximised" the Studio icon it would take the programme full screen and now I can see it. Searched for solutions for this on this basis and found it is a known issue. Here is an article with the fix: https://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-aerosnap-in-windows-7/ I fo...

Studio 4.1.2 Issues
Today Studio 4.1.2 will not open in Win 10 Pro Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363 with all updates run and reboots etc. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and no dice. I'm suspecting the latest windows update has caused the issue and not Studio. However, it raised the issue of how to completely uninstall S...

Re: Roasts suddenly uneven?
My first observation is that there is a hell of a variation in bean size. Is this a Blend or a lower graded bean? I don't have the expertise of the many others here so am just trying to help. The discolouration appears normal & may be a red herring, [Edit: just looked at my Nano 7 & it has m...

Re: New Zealand bean supplier for Peru CDS...et al for KJM Blend
Good question Geronimo. [I've been off grid for a bit. Just changed espresso machine & struggling with new work flow, grinds etc So taking longer than I thought to get back into it.] I will follow Damian's tips, above, & start out with D-Roast. The last time I used it it struggled with power...

New Zealand bean supplier for Peru CDS...et al for KJM Blend
I've read, over at CoffeeSnobs site, of the KJM roast recipe, which calls for the particular flavour profile of Peru Ceja de Selva. I have Googled my fingers raw and can't find this particular bean, here, in NZ. Can anyone point me the right direction? The blend calls for [Pre-mixed] variants [ratio...
