Roasting EA Sugarcane Decaf Coffee from Colombia (on the Loring S35 roaster)

Forget death before decaf - decaf coffee is amazing! Or it can be anyway.
In this video I'm roasting a big batch of decaf coffee. It is an EA (or ethyl acetate) decaf, also known as Sugarcane Decaf. Ethyl Acetate is made from a natural byproduct of sugar production. Coffee is placed in water, then ethyl acetate is circulated throughout, and it naturally binds to the caffeine molecules and pulls them out, leaving behind all the tasty stuff. It's the best decaf I have had the pleasure to drink (or roast)!
The goal is to get enough development to mitigate any "decaf" flavors (can be grassy, medicinal, chemically) but still light enough to preserve the intrinsically delicious flavors of these beans.
It's a 66lb batch on the 35kg Loring roaster, which isn't the largest batch size I do but is a larger batch than I usually roast.
*NOTE: This video is relatively advanced, assuming previous knowledge of coffee roasting language and concepts. If you're a coffee roaster, I hope this video will be interesting or useful to you. If you are not a coffee roaster, well, I'm sorry if it's confusing or boring.

Thanks for watching. And happy roasting!

also, on the loring what do you set your air cool on and does change with every roast or do you have a base line temp and time?

[@MMMMMM-w3l]

hi there, do you charge when the bean temp is correct or the return air is correct?

[@joetilman7227]

Do different decaf processes roast different? Don't the SW and MW processes use higher temps than EA (I may have that backwards), thus providing effectively parboiled coffee? And I would imagine CO2 process having even greater differences.

I like how things are reversed on the 35K machine, even the Husky and Apple logos!

It’s a special edition ;) Haha, for some reason my phone recorded it this way I was having trouble flipping it. But I actually think the angle is better for the curve picture-in-picture anyway!

ROR crash plus flick after first crack = baked coffee

[@roasterkat]

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one lol

훌륭한 영상입니다. 항상 도움이 되는 영상을 올려주셔서 감사합니다. 시간이 되신다면 15k 로스터로 로스팅 하는것도 올려주시면 감사하겠습니다.

Thanks so much! I would love to post more videos with the 15kg, so thank you for asking about that. Right now because I work in a production role I have to roast on whatever machine I am needed on. But I will keep my camera ready for the next time I'm on the 15kg machine :)
