Cupping flavors: Clearly defined Chocolate with very faint berry in the finish. Strong and well developed body with a full mouth-feel.
Statistics: Roast level City+, Moisture loss 13.66 percent, Development 23.1%
Green Been description: Lots of variability in size, with a surprising amount of peaberries mixed in. This has the greatest variation in size/type of any previously purchased from CBC. This is a higher altitude bean, so an agressive roast cycle was tolerated well by the beans.
Roasting challenges: The varability in bean size meant there was a potential for variation in final roast level.
Roaster Gene Cafe CBR101 2016 model.
Roast description: (uniquely for Gene Cafe CBR 101 models).
*Preheat the empty drum to 402 F (206 C) for 5 minutes.
*Rapidly stop and remove the drum. Quickly fill with the green beans. Re-insert the drum, start the roast at 402 F, start kitchen timer.
*At 5 minutes on the timer, raise the temperature to 473 F (245 C). *Continue at this temperature until the first pops of First crack PLUS 30 seconds.
*On this roast, first crack began at 10 minutes 00 seconds, temperature was lowered at 10 minutes and 30 seconds to 437 F (225 C).
*Continue to roast at 437 until roast is complete.
*The goal on this roast was City+, this was reached 13 minutes 00 seconds into the roast. About 25% of the beans had light cracks at the tips.
*The beans were dumped and force cooled. This was before Second crack began by a large margin.
Post Roast Notation: There was some varability in roast (due to difference in bean size), but not as significant as I had feared. It was not notable in the cupping.
