Hey all, new too KL (w/ boost) and looking for some guidance on roast profiles (and amount for each roast) for the below beans from sweet maria’s. I enjoy a light-medium to medium bean. Couldn’t find altitude anywhere even on SW site so googled the area.
• Rwanda Kivu Kageyo Peaberry, Wet Process/Washed (1550-2000M) Super excited for the Peaberry.
• Brazil Dry Process Carlos & Dani (950-1200M)
• Peru Chirinos Alianza de Mujerees (1800-1900M)
• Burundi Gatara Masha Honey Process (1672M)
THANKS!

Re: Advice on Profile for Sweet Marias (1st roasts)
Hey there,
Fairly new myself, but my suggestion, based in part with interviews with Wayne Burrows (@Wayne here, I think?) on Rebel Roasters' YouTube channel, the best thing to do is pick a profile as a consistent starting place to evaluate new coffees. Then use that profile every time you get something new, so you have a good baseline to know if you would push it darker or lighter, for example.
Initially, you could just pick one of the KL defaults (washed or natural) and roast to a lightish level, like 1.5-2.0, then go from there.
Also, in my (limited) experience, batch size impacts the finished roast color (even when other settings are the same,) so I would definitely pick a go-to batch size to roast with when trying a new coffee. Perhaps start with 100g or 120g to keep things predictable.
Have fun!
