Steve's Current Profiles 100g MAX
Re: Steve's Current Profiles 100g MAX
Hi Steve, tried Filter4 on a Kenyan and I really like the aroma! Haven't used it on less dense beans or naturals yet, what's your experience with the profile on these greens (e.g. Panama natural, or Ethiopia natural)? Would you turn down the preheat a little?
Re: Steve's Current Profiles 100g MAX
Hi Howard,
The naturals more delicate outer layers may experience some high levels of development and you could play around with a more gentle pre heat.
These hot fast profiles are best consumed 3 to 5 days to appreciate any fruity floral aspects.
Cheers

@Steve thanks for the profiles. First-time poster with a question about WashedAP. If this should be in a new thread please lmk.
I roasted some Kenya AA using WashedAP at 3.4. Surprisingly (to me!) the coffee went all the way to 2nd crack before the roast ended. I associate 2nd crack with darker roasts, and didn't think I'd get there with 3.4. Visually and aromatically the coffee is fairly dark.
Does that surprise you (or anyone else?) Did I do something incorrectly? I'm in the US with a 110v supply.
UPDATE: I now understand that the "roast level" in each profile (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) is pegged to an end temperature. In this case 3.4 is ~ 445F/229C which is smack in the middle of typical second crack range.
