Re: Kona Peaberry Roast Profile Needed

I'm going to try roasting with the same profile (0-1200 Rest profile at 3.0 level) and stop the roast at 20% to 25% DTR. This strategy worked very well. That was the 4th quarter pound I roasted and was by far the best roast. Apparently the 0-1200 Rest profile was going on for too long. First crack ...

What Do You Do With Beans Left in the Chaff Collector Tray?

Do you throw them away or do you throw them in with the roasted batch? Does it depend on how well roasted they look? These beans (about 6 of them) look the same as the roasted batch.

How Do You Stop a Roast?

How do I manually stop a roast early? Also, will the roaster automatically go into cool down?

Re: Kona Peaberry Roast Profile Needed

Since the Kona beans were grown at 1100 feet elevation, I tried the 0-1200 Rest profile at 3.0 level. The coffee tasted over roasted. It didn't taste burnt, but Kona should be smooth and flavorful. When I compare the 0-1200 Rest profile with the Raost Adaptive Profile in KL Studio, the Raost Adaptiv...

Kona Peaberry Roast Profile Needed

I bought some green Kona Peaberry beans from Big Island Coffee Roasters. Does anyone have a roast profile I could use or any suggestions how to modify one of the default KL roast profiles? Here what their website says about roasting their coffee. https://bigislandcoffeeroasters.com/blogs/blog/how-to...

My Kitchen Exhaust Fan Extension. No More Smell After Roasting!

My condo used to smell for 2 days after roasting. Not any more. This thing works! The plastic tube is only held on with 2 small pieces of scotch tape, so it can be easily removed and reinstalled.

I'm Amazed at What a 0.2 Change in Roast Level Does

I just got my Nano 7 a month ago. I used to roast on a Behmor about 3 or 4 years ago, but gave up becuase it was too much of an ordeal to get a good roast. I spotted the Nano 7 about 3 years ago and have been waiting for the 120 volt version ever since. Since I'm just starting out roasting again, my...
