Here’s a look into one way a roaster can go about figuring out a coffee. I roasted three batches of the same coffee, and intentionally changed one major variable in the roast approach, and then drank them to understand the differences. Pretty standard process in order to understand specific beans and roasting methods. Enjoy! Learn more/buy our coffee at: www.thinkwell.coffee/ 0:00-1:17 Intro 1:...

  • @arielmorales7422
    @arielmorales7422 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Hi Erik. I recently found your project, loving it. Newbie roaster here, i have a question on your profile chooses. Do you use density mesures or another physical approaches before roasting your beans and picking one final temperature? Thank you so much for sharing your roasts. Greetings from Mexico

    • @thinkwellcoffee
      @thinkwellcoffee วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hello! Thanks for your question. I do measure the physical attributes. But I don’t use tools other than my senses. I smell the green beans in the bag, I feel them in my hands, I listen to them while I’m scooping them, I look at the color, size, tone of the bean. I use my senses bc I always have them. And those attributes which you can sense yourself are very important in telling you about the bean. Small, heavy, deep green almost blue beans that have a solid sound and smell very strongly roast very differently than big, pale green, light, “plinky”-sounding beans 😊 And in general, the denser more moisture beans I’m going to push harder in the roaster than the other lighter beans. The less the moisture the less time I have to work developing the beans in the roast and the less ability I have to heat the beans. Moisture is how we transfer heat in the process.

  • @jaimin4829
    @jaimin4829 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    for Drum roaster your beans are already rotating and mostly getting even heat so want to know how air flow plays a role there

    • @thinkwellcoffee
      @thinkwellcoffee 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The beans are moving a consistent speed in the drum, but the SPEED of the air and the pressure in the drum environment changes from airflow.

  • @jaimin4829
    @jaimin4829 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Quick Question if you could ans What does air flow do apart from decreasing the temp? I have SR800 roaster and I am beginner to the roasting I basically roast only measuring temperature and only use fan speed(airflow) just to circulate the beans and to be able to allow them even heat Please correct me if this a wrong approach

    • @thinkwellcoffee
      @thinkwellcoffee วันที่ผ่านมา

      Airflow! Roasters have been known to get lost in days-long conversations about the subject. It’s intricately connected to speed of roast, development of acidity and sweetness, energy used by the machine. All of it. The pleasure and the pain. What I would encourage you to do is to use it, vary your use, and make adjustments that allow you to understand it. That means you’ve got to just observe what it does to your cup as you make changes from roast to roast. But in general: more airflow is brighter flavors, less airflow heavy flavors. More air is lighter body, less is heavier body.

      I think it was like 392F. I think it started going into first crack around 372 or so. And then it was in development for a bit. It tastes great. I think my Coffee With Friends episode 1 we drank this roast. It was delicious.

  • @Derringermike

    Super interesting to see your approach. Never would have thought 50sec DT would have been enough on a long roast

    • @thinkwellcoffee
      @thinkwellcoffee 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I thought the same thing too. It depends on so many factors. Part of it is the bean. Part of it is the mass of the batch and the ratio of mass to drum size. Part of it is the other phases’ length. Part of it is heat and energy applied. So, short answer, yes you can do 50 sec DT 😊

  • @nickr9784
    @nickr9784 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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

    • @thinkwellcoffee
      @thinkwellcoffee 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah. I’d just keep the flame lower the entire second half of the roast. Let it gradually get to that finish roast temp so the beans don’t get too much force applied to them. But your observation of your approach seems spot on.

    • @gregwilliamson1569

      Excellent video! Great insight. Love the “environment” image and your artful approach. I started with single origin roasts on the grill, and quickly graduated to a 5 lb gas drum roaster… looking to learn the nuances. I am a “creative” type anyway, looking to have more purposeful control over the process. Bravo!

    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.
