@nrdind how did you get on with "Steady and Dark II" at L=3.9? I Tried it on the Ethiopia Sidama Bule Hora and yes it was quite dark. Charcoal and Chocolate tasting. If I tried it in a caffe, I'd definitely go back, but I expect more from home roasts. The Charcoal isn't to over powering, b...

Hi @nrdlnd The altatude of the Shakiso appears to be similar to the Sidama Bule Hora I've been working with. I'm fairly new to roasting, I hadn't heard that Conventional wisdom says that high altitude (dense beans) should have more heat in the beginning. before. Interesting it seems that there's no ...

You could try Steve's Power profile at somewhere under 2.0 ( see what his roast level was) ... he was using a bean that had floral attributes. Thanks @fnq I assume that's the Power.kpro (from here: https://kaffelogic.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=255&hilit=Steve+power+profile&start=...

As you can see the floral notes that Ethiopian beans are known for are present, but underdeveloped with all the fo...

I suggest you try Ninja for fruitier, Firestarter for more developed flavour. Try both profiles at their recommended level (as they load into the roaster). Both give DTR of around 20% at their recommended level. We've tried Ninja at 2.6 (default) on Ethiopia Sidama Bule Hora for espresso and the ex...

I've had a short conversation with an online greens seller and his advice was that the higher the bean density then steeper needs to be the profile curve in the initial phase. And vice versa. Hadn't seen that explained anywhere here. I'm not sure if that's true @Angela, I would have thought the opp...
