I'm currently reading this. https://perfectdailygrind.com/2018/05/why-are-some-coffees-more-acidic-than-others-a-brew-roast-guide/
It might help you in deciding which green coffee you want and how to experiment with it. I hope it gives you ideas like it does for me, I'm currently experimenting with pan roasting. If you want to invest anyway, I'm not recommending you do many pan roasts but you might wanna try at least one, especially since it's super cheap to accomplish.
Untick the option in settings
Batch 4. 100g for 12m at 52%. First crack (after 4-5 outliers beginning at minute 3) at 7m. Net loss of 15g (15%). I was aiming for a medium-er roast since the acidity was a bit much. Next time, I'm keeping everything the same, but I will try to use a lid and stir with occasional tossing motions for the first 3 to 5 minutes.
No one remembers this?
Batch 3. 100g for 15m 30s at 48% bumped up to 50% near the end. First crack began at 12m 30s, so my next batch will be done at least at 50% power. It's a little more uniform. Net loss of 17g (17%). I found a comfortable and efficient agitation technique. My second batch was more of a medium roast and I feel like I lost some fruit and chocolate notes, so I'm trying to get back there a little while keeping a pleasant bitterness.
I will keep an eye for a used bread maker, but I'm just not sure I need a heat gun, so unless I find a use and ask one for Christmas I'll be doing pan roasts for a while. Still, that method was a fun rabbit hole to explore.
Thanks for the tips. The different sound seems on purpose though I'll check someday if it bugs me or if I want to replace anything.
Second try. 50g for 9m at 55%. I let the pan preheat more thoroughly which threw me off. Next time I will heat at not more than 50% with the full preheat. Cracking started at 3m which was a little scary and unexpected. I stirred A LOT. Net loss is 10g (20%).
Haven't tasted this batch, but the original one feels optimal right about now. I just think the first batch is a little underroasted, so I'll judge the next batch and see if that's my new approximate color target.
That "1" is an absolute unit
Guard 2 says: "The other one nothing but lies", which is assumed to be true. From the guard that lies. Was that a lie?
This lobster is stellar, not lunar. How do you even tolerate that?
