as I predicted the first batch was terrible, because I forgot how this roaster worked until the roast was almost completed--you're supposed to start with the fan way up and the heat down a bit, run it for a couple minutes that way, and then drop the fan and blast the heat for the rest of the time
the second attempt was passable but it felt a little flat, like the middle was missing from it; might be able to rescue this roast by changing how I brew it?
UPDATE: This coffee is actually not bad! The scorching shows up in the aroma but not in the taste — and I drank the whole cup not out a of sense of obligation, but because I was enjoying it. In my life I have been served many cups of coffee far worse than that.
Grateful thanks, my little tree!
#coffee #homeroasting
Adventures in home coffee roasting, now with home-grown coffee, product of a houseplant that got a little out of hand.
I am not optimistic this “hothouse coffee” will taste good, but at least I managed to get these guys past the first crack. It took quite a while!
Very uneven roast. Quite a lot of scorching. 29 grams of beans roasted down to 23 grams.
Now to rest the beans for a day or two.
All set for the week, coffee wise. Hopefully (
).

Ye olde roaster lives again… with a new heating element and fusable link.
