Re: Colombia Melky Chevaz - What works for you?
Posted: Tue 28 Apr, 2020 11:00 pm
Day 6 and Steves 8Min, at RL3.0, I'm finding an improvement over the Firestarter but still too light, fruity and very slightly astringent. I'm keen to try the 9Min now.
Appreciate the comments and input Steve and Chris.
I'm surprised at the variation in bean size between the varieties. Have just got some Sumatra - Mandheling and it is quite a bit bigger bean than this Melky Chevaz and will clearly need a different profile again. Not sure whether there is an industry standard grading for bean size? Along with Colour grading?
To get better consistency with my dialing in I'm now just putting 18gm of bean into the hopper of my Sette 270Wi and treating it more like a Niche Zero. This due to inconsistencies in ground weights and the variation in grind settings needed according to age of bean and how long exposed to air in the hopper
My wife is loving the 8Min in her latte with a spot of honey! So.….we're half way there!
Does the 9Min narrow the gap between Firestarter and K-logic classic?
I have Ver 7.4.4. firmware and the voltage is circa 230v. Nano shows 228 in one of the roasts.
Am looking forward to the posting of Tried and True profiles matched to beans.
