Similar approach to Darkside with a few tweaks.
Fully developed from mid first crack Level 1.7 onwards.
12 min MAX Level 5.2 just on 2nd crack depending on the bean, definitely worth a comparison with Darkside both at 5.0. Developed using specialty grade Brazil, Colombia and Guatemala.
As an example I have Brazil Fazenda Progresso natural https://melbournecoffeemerchants.com.au ... o-natural/
Dropped at the following Levels:
1.7 - 12% Weight Loss (First crack 3/4 done)
2.4 - 13%
3.0 - 14%
3.5 - 14.4%
4.0 - 14.8%
5.0 - 15.8%
These will be cupped blind after 7 days rest to evaluate where this bean might shine best.
My guess is that many people may find their goldilocks zone for a more traditional roast somewhere in the Level 4 to 5 range. Overall this roast profile / fan profile seems to be in the sweet spot for the KL when trying to achieve an increasing power profile and declining ROR.
