Thank you ! Very good idea this session. As hobby-roaster I am thankful for this initiative. It is very important for me, to be told, that a successful light roast will only be possible with an excellent green coffee and a well done extraction.
Hello, Tim. Thanks for this great video and love your coffee. If you blind cupping the same coffee roasted by your Ikawa and Loring, can you tell which one from which machine? If the answer is yes, what would be the difference?
Hey Tim, thanks for taking your time for us people. I was wondering if you could slightly mimic the results of the loring roaster on a normal drum roaster by using maybe slightly higher airflow and drum speed? Thanks
Not really. the Loring will have higher Airflow with higher burner settings and vice versa. If you lower the AF on a drum roaster your drum will get hotter and you have more conductive heat vs convection. The Loring does not have a hot drum.
Hey Tim. I'm building my own small drum roaster as a school project. Hoping for around 500-700g batch. When I begin roasting on it, I'll have no reference point for temperatures while roasting. Do you have a ballpark roast profile that would get me close enough for a start? Or some rough temperatures I should aim for?
Hi Tim, great content! Just wanted to ask you, in your controlled temp green beans storage room, do you also control humidity? Do you think is appropriate to go below 40% humidity in that area?
Use a refractometer and test with same grind setting and brewing parameters every time. Then you can see if one batch gives higher TDS / extraction than another. If it does it is ore soluble.

Everything is relativ: "Don't really know much about coffee roasting" After hearing this I'm not sure I agree ;D
You might find this funny, but the whole video I thought you were saying "naughty flavors," not "nutty flavors." Great information thanks.

No we don't. Basically 90% of our green coffees are vacuum packed and the rest is in air tight Grain Pro bags, so no need for that.
Hi Tim,
What's your opinion of using electric roaster for small batch roasting?
Can work really well if you have enough power. I have great experience with Ikawa and Roest
Tim Wendelboe
How about a 2.4 kilo FZ94 electric by Coffee Tech Engineering?
Have no experience with that one
Hey Tim! How do you define coffee solubility? And how can a roaster can assure a safe solubility level if roasting light!
Use a refractometer and test with same grind setting and brewing parameters every time. Then you can see if one batch gives higher TDS / extraction than another. If it does it is ore soluble.
