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:...

Coffee Roasting: 400F Ethiopia Dry Process
Great explanation Erik
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
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.
Old School Roasting, This is a man that has & speaks from experience and understands the process. I've been roasting professionally for 5 years now & I'm learning from his "analogy" way of describing his process.
for Drum roaster your beans are already rotating and mostly getting even heat so want to know how air flow plays a role there
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.
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
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.
@ got it Glad I asked it , Thank you for the info Looking forward to more insights from this channel
What was your finished temp 372! I’m curious how this coffee tasted.
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.
Super interesting to see your approach. Never would have thought 50sec DT would have been enough on a long roast
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 😊
I really appreciate your approach to roasting. Your roast curve is made from your instincts not a digital program. I would love to sit in on one of your roast sessions! Great insight on Nat. processed.
Come on by!
nice one, I have been home roasting for a minute - all the detailed insights you are discussing in your videos are helping me understand some details and get so much more context around the whole process. Hope you keep sharing, thanks.
Adorable
All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
It isn't where you come from, it's where you're going that counts.
Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
You are the only person on Earth who can use your ability.
Great experiment! I’m curious what were your air adjustments were for each of these roasts?
That was a really interesting experiment, and definitely something I’ll try. Thanks Erik.
❤❤❤
nice
Very fun conversation to hear! Keep it up
I like your philosophy so much!
Thank you for this video!❤
Thank you so much you are amazing gracing us with your knowledge
But what is Environment
The environment inside the drum of the roaster - the air, the heat, the mass of the beans.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to offer this insight to help us home roasters gain some understanding of this challenging hobby of roasting and brewing a memorable cup of this amazing beverage.
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
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.
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!
Looks like you have some calibration or dial control of your flame? Beautiful roaster.
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.
