My lightest ever roast

Postby simonp » Thu Jun 22, 2006 8:53 pm

I did my lightest ever roast this evening, stopped just before the end of 1st crack :shock: . This coffe is Ecuador Vilcabamba “valley of longevity” from HB (where else?!). Steve's tasting and roasting notes said to stop just before or at the ned of 1st, so that's what I did. I must say the beans look much more even and smooth than I expected, at this stage a lot of beans are rough and mottled.
As we are away on hols next week, I roasted them to use in the caffetiere. As we are taking the other half's car (rather than my 2-seater) I might take the old Isomac grinder rather than pre-grind (like I have to if we take my car).
Profitec 700 dual boiler
Isomac Rituale

Chemex
Aeropress
2 Bodum press pots
Hottop updated to a B with Compuetr control
Imex roaster, dimmer mod on heater (under spare bed)
Rival popper, with split motor and dimmer mod on heater (retired)

This is a real unusual bean Simon don’t expect your normal brew but fantastic french press coffee that’s a real experience.
