I love this profile - I keep coming back to it. Certainly my favourite for espresso as I like mine more developed than what I am able to buy. I certainly get some great results around 3.2

Hi @SniffCoffee, it’s been a while since you’ve started roasting coffee so you’re now a pro while I’m a newbie… I’m having the same “charred” aromas you had at the beginning- how did you manage to overcome it? I’ve tried different levels of roasting, from 2.1 to 4.2, but the “charred” aroma always ...

I too gave MD3 a go, with Indonesian West Java and I manually followed it, marked first crack, and finished at 25% DTR. A few days in, lovely espresso that will be even smoother in a day or two I suspect (5 days). Best roast I've had from this bean so far, so thank you Steve for the profile

Nothing terribly scientific here, but I'm finding my RTD roasts are best enjoyed the next day. I agree that this is a general tendency and a useful rule of thumb, but in my experience there is great variability between beans and they tend to peak at slightly different times even though roasted to t...

I did 3 roasts this morning with this bean. Firestarter @ 3.0 1200 - 1500 RTD @ 3.0 PowerTEST @ 2.3 Cupped later in the day. I thought Firestarter was by far the best and my experiment PowerTEST was the worst (Sour?). To my eyes Firestarter is the darkest and Power Test the lightest. Will try later...

I am currently drinking this in espresso and milk drinks. Using the slightly lower altitude 1200-1500 M RTD profile at 3.0. ( Dev time @25 % approx) I had previously tasted acrid flavours when drinking immediately off the roaster , but now i let them sit on a bench open to the air for 15-30 minutes...

Hi I used a 2000- 2700 RTD profile the other day and my experience is similar to what you have described. Approximately 15 minutes off roasting and the cup included some acrid flavours that i hadn't previously experienced in this bean. ( My next sampling(s) (multiple if i include previous successfu...

Hi all. Nothing terribly scientific here, but I'm finding my RTD roasts are best enjoyed the next day. Yes, they are palatable off the roast, but something about the short rest makes them come to life. I'm roasting around 2.8 on most profiles and using a variety of beans. Kaffelogic's suggestion of ...

So in milk it's nicely balanced - again, not as sweet and caramel as the Excelso but still really pleasant. The longer rest period (up to 4 days at time of writing) has produced a smoother, sweeter bean in espresso, too. Nice body on the shot, very impressed with this little roaster's ability to mag...

I tried Firestarter set to Level 3.0 and roasted up a few batches back to back. Let it rest, tried it today (3 days so far) and it is very mellow, a tad spicy, and very easy to drink as espresso. I logged FC on one of the roasts and it fell within the 20-25% Scott Rao range for good espresso DTR - a...
