  • Batch 4. 100g for 12m at 52%. First crack (after 4-5 outliers beginning at minute 3) at 7m. Net loss of 15g (15%). I was aiming for a medium-er roast since the acidity was a bit much. Next time, I’m keeping everything the same, but I will try to use a lid and stir with occasional tossing motions for the first 3 to 5 minutes.




  • Batch 3. 100g for 15m 30s at 48% bumped up to 50% near the end. First crack began at 12m 30s, so my next batch will be done at least at 50% power. It’s a little more uniform. Net loss of 17g (17%). I found a comfortable and efficient agitation technique. My second batch was more of a medium roast and I feel like I lost some fruit and chocolate notes, so I’m trying to get back there a little while keeping a pleasant bitterness.
