Profiles for different origins

Newbie Posts: 3 Joined: February 10, 2013	Got the new B model last week, two roasts so far using Ciel's profile. I've had fantastic results. Really, the yirga cheffe after 48 hours was one of the best cups I've ever had. I'm blown away by this roaster. Coming from a behmor, it's like going from folgers to stumptown. I'm sure I'll eventually put in a bt probe, but I'm happy for now. So I'm just curious if you all are trying out different profiles for hard/soft beans? Does it make much of a difference in the cup? I usually roast at a city/city+ level, and use various manual methods for brew. Between the Ethiopian and the El Salvador I did last week, the origin flavors coming out are astonishing. I realize there is always room for improvement, though, and I want to keep getting better and understanding more. Thanks in advance! Landon

From my reading of Landon's post I don't see where he's implying comparing profile results from different roaster types.

It takes a more aggressive application on heat to get the best flavors. If you roast a low grown bean the same it will burn and be not as good. The low grown beans I run into are Brazil and Kona. Geishas need to be roasted like a soft bean in my opinion. If you look at the crease in the beans you can get a idea of how high it was grown. A open crease would be low and a tight crease would be high. All you need in life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure. Mark Twain

I hadn't heart that about the low vs high grown opening of the crease either. I'll check those out in the download section. Landon

Allen The reason I noted close results between same type roasters is due to differing conditions For example - power fluctuations , ambient temp differences, even at what altitude one lives at can have subtle differences By all means use any roast profile suggestions as a guide but always trust your taste buds Happy roasting KK I home roast and I like it.

Using a profile from someone else, even with the same roaster doesn't mean that the profile in your roaster and conditions (humidity, atmospheric pressure etc) is going to necessarily be optimum so be sure and tweak away. Great point! I hadn't had any coffee when I read your post which is no-no. Allen 1/2 lb and 1 lb drum, Siemens Sirocco fluidbed, presspot, chemex, cajun biggin brewer from the backwoods of Louisiana
