Ground roast colour
Posted: Tue 10 Dec, 2019 5:20 pm
I have been taking samples of the "Classic" profile using a tea spoon as a trier / scoop.
Using 100g, 2019 grade 1 washed Colombian, set at 1.3.
After doing the same with other slower profiles its quite clear that they never put enough difference between outer and inner bean development and worse case the outsides end up looking light and the ground colour is darker yet they taste under developed. Hence going back to the start to play around with the Classic.
The first picture, (on top) winning golden bean espresso and milk "Glee" walking on sunshine blend, Sumatran + their natural Ethiopian and filter silver medal winner "Darks" using the same Sumatra (bottom).
The second picture:
1: Darks Sumatra
2: Glee WOS
3: Colom start of first crack 205C 5:50
4: + 30sec
5: + 45sec
6: + 1:00
7: + 1:30
8: + 2:00
9: Finished roast 1.3 / 216.5C / +2:16
At this stage I would happily take something akin to the Glee WOS espresso blend for a filter roast....! The Darks filter roast may well be unobtanium. Granted they are both naturals which are easier to develop.
