Thanks @petermac. My Costa Rica Miel is about to have a go round with this profile. Awesome.

They do look darker then mine usually do. It might be the screen of course. Let us know how they drink.

I’m interested in the answer to this too. My unit is slowly but surely developing an increasing dark spot on the bottom of the roasting chamber. I’ve done around 150 roasts.

Well I did finally do a roast of Colombian Volcan Galeras using Firestarter. It all went without a hitch and there will definitely be more. I went to L3.4 and tasted it alongside the same bean roasted at 1200-1500 L3.6. My notes show more spice, a very clean taste, generally more character than the ...

Good to know and I’ll try one of those. In the meantime I’ve done two roasts using Steady and Dark, one to L4, the other L4.4. Haven’t tried them yet - that’ll be sometime this coming week.

Thanks @VladP. I’m planning on a roasting session tomorrow so I’ll do as you suggest and give it a go. I went back to the KL companion earlier today and found a bit more information on minimum RORs so I’m starting to get a glimmer of understanding. It seems to take a lot for the science to sink in. ...

My notes on the Wahgi, D-roast at L3.4 - bright, quite high acid, the merest hint of cocoa at the end, Needs a deeper roast for my palate (which also enjoys the EH at L3.6). On the Yirg, 1500-2000 at L2.4 - it definitely ‘pops’ but I think that it, too, would benefit as a SO from a slightly deeper r...

So I’ve done a first roast of this bean. I used 1200-1500 Rest to L3.6. I found it bright and balanced but fairly light - no choc/cocoa. A bean I could happily drink as an espresso or lungi (I’m a predominantly white morning coffee person so I don’t often say this). With milk it was still pleasant, ...

Have you tried https://kaffelogic.com/community/download/file.php?id=1090 which looks pretty good for filters. Although designed for filter I used the profile on Ethiopian Gambella sun-dried beans at L2.4 for espresso (why, I don’t know, but I did) and found bright acid, good mouthfeel, a hint of co...

Well I did a D-roast @ 3.4 and got a much improved body, lively acid, a bit of cocoa. As a latte the flavours cut through the milk well, some toasted notes. I’ll try a few other levels.
