Colombia Melky Chevaz - What works for you?

I'm having trouble zeroing in on the best K-Profile to use for this bean and wonder what you might have found works for you. I guess that is one of the points of this forum? I have tried K-Classic at 4.0, 3.7 and found it burnt to my taste. Dark chocolatey rich and smooth otherwise. I have since tri...

Re: Fresh roast storage container tips please

Excellent advice, Thanks Sam! I see the Airscape is a bit tricky to track down in NZ, esp atm. Will persevere.

Re: Fresh roast storage container tips please

Really practical solution. Much appreciated Sam. And, do you stick labels on or put a paper note in the container?

Re: chasing RoR

Steve, thanks so much for such a helpful reply. No doubt others browsing here will also gain from this insight!! I hadn't expected such a range in roast levels or profiles. I noticed you had marked FC @ 8"!! I will have to change tact and check out the lower roast levels. Now to check out Fires...

Re: chasing RoR

Fascinating and generous input Damian. I'm just starting the roasting journey and have an endless amount to learn. (4 roasts in!). Can you advise, was it really FC at 7"30' ? With Guatemala Huehuetenango and K-Classic at L3.5 FC has been at 5'03''. That being 5 minutes from pressing the go butt...
