Love this, I've been doing tons to medium from a blend of Colombia and found more even when I use high temp preheat, medium high until it starts going brown, high heat until first crack then as you said gradually lower to 0 until second crack. Thanks for sharing and helping me mate!!!!
Rad, that's exciting news! And don't forget, no matter how educated we are, we often have more to learn from coffee than we realize. Keep that curiosity alive!!
I find that increasing your airflow throughout the roast as your decreasing your power will give you an even roast and you’ll possibly find you can drop at the same temperature and color near second crack without actually getting into second crack. Mill city roasters practice this a lot and so I’ve been trying it with improving results. Hopefully that makes sense and is helpful 🤞👍
Really happy to see your journey, it's insiring to see. You don't give a lot of answers to questions about the "business" and the process. Seems strange but I imagine your really "just doing it" and not actually journaling that so much. Start up questions can't be all that difficult to estimate. There is so much info online we can get most questions answered. There is not so much connection to an actual person grinding, no pun, that we have access to. Wishing you lots of success, get that merch online. I'd love to rock one of those tee shirts family. Keep grinding
Thank you for reporting your results! Flick and crash are best to observe via D-BT. = RoR. So you are also a follower of S.R.´s advice to observe a steady decreasing RoR curve . I would very much like to see your curves of the two different coffees.
Great information! Lol, “don’t do videos while you’re roasting”..I thought you did pretty well with the multitasking. Nice job on the video and sharing the experiences.
Thank you for the informative vids, really helpful. Where can I buy your roasted coffee ☕ internationally? Do you recommend taking courses and training about roasting and coffee, I want to start a roasting business and I don't know where to begin, thanks
Congrats for the super videos! If I can ask to summarize... I mean that the last 3min you decreased gradually the temperature? If so, how many degrees per step? Thanks a lot!
Hello. I'm just getting organized to launch an online shop to sell my coffee. I'm located in Vancouver, Canada and have been following your channel for a while. I was wondering if you had any insight on launching an online shop and which ecommerce website is best for this type of business? From your website you seem to be using Shopify which is what I'm looking at myself. Do you have any tips or tricks for an early stage roaster such as myself. Thanks!
Great Video. I’ve got a question: where do you get your green beans? Do you have partnerships with farmers or do you buy them on stores like InterAmerican?
I wish I could answer this effectively, but I can't. It all comes down to how much you want to invest and how deep you plan to go with your work. Good luck!
After starting your roasting operation, do you think purchasing a 1kg roasting machine was a right decision or should you have gone for bigger roasting machine??
It's hard to say. I wish I could have started with something bigger but I simply didn't have the means to. That being said, absolutely go with the biggest roaster you can afford. You can always grow into it and they maintain relatively high value for resale if you ever need to.
It varies! Sometimes a lot sometimes a little. Right now we are in a very slow period as I am working on our first cafe, but then it will pick up quite a bit once doors are open.
@@metal_mo not sure how anyone could survive selling under cottage laws, in SC there is also a cap of 15,000 per year. He would have be a licensed retailer in order to survive I would think and you know commiefornian always takes what they can.
@@metal_mo what roaster are you on where you are. I am about to drop 5 grand on a roaster from buckeye out of Arizona just wondering what people have heard about them. I have only heard good stuff so far. It is a 3.5 pound roaster.
