Coffee Roasting: 400F Ethiopia Dry Process
Thanks for the video. It helps me understand an issue I have with roasting darker. I typically use same parameters as I do with light roast but just take it to a higher temperature. My issue is I tend to get way darker tastes than the roast should be. I never hit second crack but get French roasty taste notes
Love this 👍🏽😎☕️
Enjoyed your light/dark Guatemala video! As a home roaster for many years, not sure a non-roaster would understand the nuances of your methods other than “the art of coffee roasting”. Well Done 😊
Using your techniques in this video, I just finished roasting probably the best 10lb batch of Ethiopian I have ever roasted. I can’t thank you enough.
Man that’s awesome. Way to go! It’s so darn rewarding when you start putting all the pieces together.
@@thinkwellcoffee Indeed it is!
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it
So much helpful info in this one. Much appreciated. Thanks Erik.
Heck yeah. I’m glad the info was helpful
800 groms of water is about 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 cups? Is that what you have? And 50g of coffee is about 4 to 5 scoops (about 10 to 12 g per scoop). For folks that don't have a small scale or marked water bottle.
Good call. Way to share the info. Weighing coffee is the best method, but if you don’t have a scale, this guide here will really help you
If you would have kept it going, what temp would 2nd crack have started?
It probably would have started 2nd crack in another 2-3 degrees. so not much longer
The best coffee is made in the woods with a percolator!
I am new to the roasting game at a local cafe on a L12 95' probat. I really like how intricate your explanations are! Thank you for all the info you supply
Nice. The 90's L12s are cool. I appreciate you watching the videos and taking time to comment. I hope you enjoy the journey of learning coffee roasting!
Any advice you wish you knew when you started roasting?
Cool man❤
I like the way you roast dude... Listening, looking, smelling, no ror computer curve
Heck yeah man. Thank you.
We do Perc coffee for our school and church events- the big electric ones. I always start with good brew water, great beans, right grind, and making sure the bed is level, the right ratio…. With all those takin into account, you can make a great cup of coffee.
This channel is dope. Great work! I’m gearing up to launch my YT channel. And I love seeing new coffee channels pop up!
Awesome! Thank you! I’ll keep my eye out for your channel.
Cowboy coffee. I use my stove top percolator once a month, or when I’m camping. Yeah, course enough, that it doesn’t go through the holes… Although I do see some people using a paper filter. Nice video. )
I know percolators are doing everything “wrong” but they are just an enjoyable brewing method. And using them while camping is just so classic. I’m glad you liked the video
I like that little scale. Perfect for travel
Whoa, I’ve totally been doing this all wrong, thanks for the hot tips!
Happy to help!
You mean F degree right
Yes.
Good stuff. I recently bought a fresh roast air roaster. I am having trouble with tipping and internal scorching with Brazilian beans. I think I will lower the heat and try to extend the roast.
If there is some way to slow down the speed the air is moving, that might be worth a try. Slowing the airflow, lowering the heat will ease tipping and naturally extend the roast.
@thinkwellcoffee thank you. I will give it a try
SUBSCRIBED! I love learning how to roast coffee.
Awesome roast. I hope I’m not too late to grab a bag.
Good stuff, good stuff! I absolutely love and appreciate the info.
I have never drank coffee and could care less
This is so stupid. The best cup of coffee at home can be made however the fuck you prefer to make it. You are the one drinking it. no matter what kind of coffee you like not everyone else likes that kind. So, your claim of "best" is as entirely subjective as what is the "best" color of car or "best" type of earrings. Ridiculous. Which is also completely subjective. This guy talks like he needs a cup of coffee. Thats a fact.
Melitta user here. I have been for many, many years. I use the #6 filter cones. The bad thing about being the ONLY #6 user in the state is that I have bought all of the filters for sale within 20 miles of me an no one carries them any more. That said - I took delivery of a FULL CASE of 40ct boxes of filters yesterday from the Jungle Site. That's a happy feeling to have enough filters for a year and not having to drive all over the countryside to find them. There was that one tragic week in 2020 where I had to resort to using paper towels for filters. Savage.
The paper towels for filters is amazing. That is true dedication my friend.
I'll never get that 12 min back. i'm sad about that!
Haha! Mine all mine!!!
Definitely couldn’t do this first thing in the morning. Bro give me my freaking coffee!!!!😂
Once you get a base method doing that becomes second nature, knowing why your base works lets you experiment.
Junkie.
This is sooo convoluted. It’s just coffee for crying out loud. Trying too hard.
No this is passion for a certain interest. Finding a passion for something is beautiful thing.
He's explaining in detail each aspect as he goes. You don't need to learn from scratch each time, you just get your process down and reproduce. Coffee is a spectacularly complex substance so you can go really deep. If you just drink it for caffeine, you do you. Don't hate on someone who cares.
So in food I find finding the REASON helps me experiment and reproduce.
Convoluted? Dude's pouring water. If that's convoluted to you, you're just a dumb person. If _pouring water_ is 'trying hard' to you, you're also a lazy person.
👏🏽🤎☕️
Nice roast! Appreciate being able to learn from these videos. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Great looking roast! Question for you. I’m wondering if environmental temperature drops below your bean temperature just at the end of the roast, will that show up in the cup? I find it challenging, (only when I’m roasting light) to keep the environmental temperature higher than the bean temperature right at the end of my roast. Perhaps charging higher? Or staying on the heat a little longer into the Maillard? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for another great roasting video. )
Don’t worry about the env temp being higher than bean at the end of the roast. Any increase in env temp by adjusting the flame is going to have a far larger effect on the cup. If you’re able to hit the temp and time marks you’re trying for, don’t worry about the env temp at the end of the batch. Low env temps aren’t going to do any harm to flavor in the cup.
@@thinkwellcoffee OK, that’s what I was hoping for, and helpful info. Thanks Erik. I’ll give it a shot tomorrow. )
I don't know how the hell I got here but I'm glad I did. This scratches the same itch as James Hoffmann but without having to hang in there for a chemistry lesson every time.
Dude you’re awesome. Thanks
I live in Nebraska but you make me want to come visit you in Waverly just for your coffee.
Visit anytime!
Nice job not being pretentious about the process. Coffee nerds usually would chastise him for not knowing how to do it properly.
Love it, thanks for sharing. Now I want to try Rwanda coffee.
Rwanda coffee is excellent. You gotta try it
Enjoying a conversation with a good friend, while drinking a tasty cup of Rwandan coffee. Showing that a little education goes a long way both in coffee and life. It really doesn’t get more enjoyable or simple. Love this Thinkwell Coffee.
Man thank you very much. You’re too kind. Glad you enjoyed it
Hey! Is that Brazil pulped natural, or semi washed?
Pulped natural! Great question
Is semi washed the same as honey? How is pulped natural different?
Great info.
I love your approach to roasting, and share your philosophy. I'm almost finished building a 7 kilo drum roaster and have gotten so much inspiration from your great videos. You are as unique as your coffee, keep doing what you’re doing and think well brother.
Wow! You’re building your own roaster?! That’s amazing. Thanks for your encouragement and for watching our videos!
@@thinkwellcoffee ❤️
Love it
☕️ 👏
Hi Erik, I am fairly new to roasting, and learning tons from your roast along series. I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do these, very helpful roasts. Also, looking forward to the next video.
You are totally welcome! Thanks for watching. I’ve got a few new videos in our new space on our new roaster. Pretty exciting stuff.
Hey, Eric. It's good to hear you'll have some new videos coming out soon. And on a new roaster. That's cool! I've been reading the comments and finding some helpful and different approaches. Over the past week I've been roasting an Ethiopian Yirg Natural, and finding it hard to get to fc before 400f, so I'll try doing a 400f charge, instead of 370f, then extending green to yellow from 4:34/4:40 to a 5:15/5:30 then mid way through, backing it off to coast up to fc. Hopefully before 400f! Ha ha. Ok thanks again! @@thinkwellcoffee
I roasted my Yirgacheffe natural at drop temp 215c and there this nice milk chocolate fruit cake aroma. I also tasted earl grey tea with winey acidity notes too! Lately price jumped significantly from 15 dollars per pound 16.50! That’s insane! Roasting natural beans could be very tricky! I usually find them reaching FC pretty late like around 210c. So for development time, I will stretch it out to 213c-216c. It’s almost impossible to roast natural beans light roast around 200c-208c because FC comes out late. However washed beans reach FC like super on time around 199c to 205c. So I can easily finish it off around 208c-212c for dropping the beans!
Yes. Naturals are tricky. But they are so rewarding. Lately I’ve been doing a slightly different approach than the one on this video - getting into yellowing , then pulling back on the flame so that I can coast into first crack, get a low finish roast temp but get a bit of development without losing much brightness. It’s such a tightrope to walk. Thanks for watching!
Love your style.
You’re awesome. Ha
Your coffee is delicious!! So glad Darin introduced me to your coffee. Love your story and love your coffee!
Love this video!
👍☕
This was fantastic! I loved this so much. ❤️🔥
I like to say your video are great and I like to thank you for all the information you are giving .do you go into the dark roast temp up over 430f
Hi Brian. I actually don't go up into the 430'sF. It feels like I'm just killing the beans when the temp gets too high, so I stay away from it.
thank you for your video, it help me to understand a little more about roasting , i roast on a hot top and Guatemala is the bean i been roasting for about a month now
Awesome! Welcome to the world of roasting. It's super fun. I started roasting on an electric popcorn popper. So you've got a great start. And Guatemala beans are excellent.
