Profile experiment with a fast and hot roast, vs low and slow roast on two different beans, a Brazil Mogiana and Papua New Guinea. Roasts completed with a Fresh Roast SR540. Special guest Rob Pirie of Cedar Ota Coffee helps me taste, much thanks Rob! Rob's cupping video: th-cam.com/video/cCkmxQJYWqE/w-d-xo.html

This video ended up longer that I anticipated, but hopefully the information is useful. The beginning shows the most basic operation and functions of the Fresh Roast SR540 home coffee roaster. Later in the video I go over some tips on overall roasting workflow, and briefly at the end I mention some popular mods and upgrades. Note that most of this tutorial will also apply to the SR800.

In this video I give tips that have helped me to highlight origin flavors when home roasting coffee, and how to taste the differences. At the end of the video I try out my "system" on an 8 pound sampler from Sweet Maria's. I'm a beginner, so if you have tips or a system that has helped you, please leave a comment. Thanks.

The settings used are adapted from the Sweet Maria’s Fresh Roast SR540 Tips Sheet: www.sweet...

This is mostly just a bit of fun, but towards the end of the video I have 3 recommended profiles you might want to try. This is a good roaster to experiment with, and to try different roast profiles and settings to get the flavors you like. Note that I have added a temperature probe on my stock roaster in order to get a more accurate bean temperature reading. The roaster itself has a temperatur...
