I want to hear real field experience about dropping honey-process coffee earlier in the roast. In theory it sounds useful, but inside daily work it also looks like one more variable to control. Some people around me say dropping honey-process coffee earlier in the roast is already becoming standard practice, while others say the result is too inconsistent to justify the extra effort.

If you have tested this seriously over repeated batches or harvest cycles, what did dropping honey-process coffee earlier in the roast change for consistency, quality, or decision making?
