I went on a picture shooting spree as I thought it would be good to show how the Roasting profile goes every minute or so.
Summary of Profile.
Sulawesi (Indonesia Beans)
I have tried a simplier profile to see if I can notice any effects on taste. I find no difference so give it a go.
1. Put approx 225 grams of green coffee beans in container.
2. Set temp to 467 F
3. Set timer to 20 mins
4. Listen for Second crack (around 15-18 min into roast)
5. Hit Cool Button after approx 30 seconds from start of second crack.
6. When temp reads about 380 F hold TEMP button to E-Stop (Emergency stop the Roaster) and dump coffee Beans into Colander.
7. Put container back in Roaster and initiate cool sequence (press TEMP button twice) to allow roaster to cool between roasts. Roaster will stop when it hits 140 F
8. Find a way to cool the roasted beans in colander (Its winter in Canada now so I just put the colander outside)
9. Put next batch of green beans in roaster once the roaster stop at 140 F.
Hope you enjoy all the pics.
I tried to take a picture of the time remaining to give you an idea of how the roast is coming along.
My Indoor Setup
Scale. Bought from Canadian Tire ($10)
Set countdown timer to 20 mins. Temp to 467 F
Item I use when I roast. Don't forget an oven mitt if you E-STOP like I do (Roasting Chamber is HOT)
Roaster temp at 428F. Time Remaining 15.7 min
Roaster temp at 440F. Time Remaining 14.8 min
Roaster temp at 447F. Time Remaining 14.3 min
Roaster temp at 456F. Time Remaining 13.6 min
Roaster temp at 465F. Time Remaining 12.9 min
Roaster temp at 467F. Time Remaining 12.0 min
Roaster temp at 464F. Time Remaining 11.0 min
Roaster temp at 467F. Time Remaining 10.0 min
Roaster temp at 467F. Time Remaining 9.0min
Roaster temp at 467F. Time Remaining 7.7 min
Roaster temp at 462F. Time Remaining 6.9 min
Roaster temp at 467F. Time Remaining 5.9 min
Roaster temp at 460F. Time Remaining 5.7min
Roaster temp at 460F. Time Remaining 5.0 min
Roaster temp at 462F. Time Remaining 4.0 min
Start of 2nd Crack in Beans
Roaster temp at 467F. Time Remaining 3.5 min
Press Temp button to start cooling process
Notice the display switches to COL and the timer now resets and counts how long the cooling process takes
Press and HOLD TEMP button to initiate E-STOP to allow dumping of beans into Colander
Notice the display shows STP to indicate STOP
Wearing an oven mitt remove the container and dump HOT beans into colander
Replace container back into roaster and press temp button 2 times to initiate cooling process
This is to allow the heating element to rest between roasts.
If you have fan you can put the colander on the fan to aid in cooling
Outside works too (Winter is among us)
Took roaster about 8.0 mins to cool container to 140 F
Finished Results
Thats it! Hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know of any ideas or suggestions!
Happy Roasting!
