oke gue mau bahas sesuatu yang menurut gue masih banyak roaster yang salah kaprah. Banyak yang roast satu profile untuk semua brewing method. Padahal espresso dan filter itu butuh karakter yang beda...
Jadi kemarin gw roast Andungsari natural, batch 1kg, drum roaster custom buatan sendiri. Pas keluar dari drum ternyata ada biji biji yang pinggirannya kehitaman tapi waktu dipotong tengahnya masih...
kemarin baru pertama kali roast natural process, selama ini gw cuma roast washed origin aja. dan ternyata... beda banget!! first crack-nya lebih "rame" dan lebih awal dari yg gw ekspektasi. terus...
Oke jadi gue lagi belajar analisa roast curve dan nemu istilah DTR alias Development Time Ratio. Katanya ideal itu sekitar 20-25%, tapi gue pernah baca juga ada yang bilang 15% udah cukup kalau...
not writing this like a tutorial, just honestly stuck on it. Bigger crop variation this year is pushing me to split profiles more often i keep hearing strong opinions, almost none of them survive...
Seeing many roast logs lately where people say turning point is almost useless, especially on small batch and unstable weather day. I still mark it, but sometimes it only makes me chase correction...
High-density washed coffees are getting pushed into shorter and shorter total roast times, maybe because many roasters chase sparkle and cleaner cup. But I keep getting cups that look bright at first...
this one keeps coming back around me lately. Shorter development is trendy again, but where is the real floor for sweetness? on paper it should be cleaner than this. real batches say otherwise. one...
On production days I can run the same saved profile file, same batch size, same gas notes, and still second or third batch lands different. Not huge disaster, but enough that the later cup feels...

I keep finding cups with nice aroma but sweetness feels hollow after a few sips, especially on roasts where airflow is pushed harder after first crack. Are production roasters using that late airflow...
in roasting community there is always debate about charge temperature. some roasters say it must be precise within 5 degree. other say it is just starting point and correction can be made after...
throwing this here because the topic is getting louder and my confidence is not getting better. Low-caf lots are exposing roast habits that felt safe on regular coffees forum talk makes it sound...
throwing this here because the topic is getting louder and my confidence is not getting better. Quiet burner drift can waste a whole production day before anyone catches it forum talk makes it sound...
I notice more people using a longer soak on dense washed coffees, maybe because they want more even inside development without early scorching. On some beans it helps, but on others the cup becomes...
Decaf roasting feels more demanding now because buyers still expect sweetness and clarity almost like fresh crop caffeinated coffee. I can make it drinkable, but making it lively is another story...
Recently I have been discussing drum speed impact on tipping risk with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole workflow. I...
this one keeps coming back around me lately. Ultra-light retail roasts get attention online, then customer brews them badly at home on paper it should be cleaner than this. real batches say...
Recently I have been discussing fixing flick after first crack with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole workflow. I am...
