Hi coffee friends! First time poster on this forum. I've been thoroughly enjoying my Kaffelogic Nano7e for over a month now, with almost 100 batches completed. This forum has been incredibly helpful throughout my journey, and I'm very grateful for all the advice!
A local commercial coffee roaster recommended that I get to know a new coffee by trying the following experiment:
Roast three batches of coffee using the same profile, keeping the end temperature the same but adjusting the total roasting time to be shorter or longer. I understand that this approach might not be directly applicable to a sample roaster though.
Any advice on how to implement this specific approach on the KL? What parameters should I adjust to maintain the same end temperature while varying the total roast duration? I wouldn’t be surprised if the solution is right under my nose, as everything has been quite intuitive since the get go. But just can’t seem to wrap my head around this.

To add some context to what I'm personally trying to achieve: Bright, juicy cups on the very light side.
To the point where my moms says "This ain't coffee it's rubarb tea".
This week I’ve been enjoying a fresh Kenya AA from the Kirinyaga region at 1500-1600 m.a.s.l. using:
Profile: 1500-2000 rest (level 0.4)
100g coffee and 100g-boost setting
FC at 05:36, 47 sec development time
Total roast time: 6:23 minutes
Weight loss: 11.7%
Brewed with an Aeropress and Flow Control, 11:18, 21 clicks on Comandante C40, 02:30 and slow press.
Light, juicy, a tad vegetal but sweet and a little uneven color - might give it ten more seconds next time.
