When you roast several batches back-to-back what exactly do you do in between? Do you let the roaster cool down completely or…? I mean longer than the automatic cool down?
Here’s video that might help you out. It’s absolutely brilliant, and you can learn a lot about the basics of roasting coffee in 34 minutes. The first minute is quite strange and perhaps a bit off-putting but stick to it and you won’t regret it lol :) .
I hear you. I think what you need is for someone to help you out/show you a couple of roasts. I mean to physically be there by your side. Perhaps someone from here would be so kind to do that if there’s someone near you. I don’t think you should carry on by yourself cause it seems like your are...
I don’t know which coffee I like most cause I haven’t found it yet. “Maybe this will be the one…?” goes through my mind right before I try a new coffee. That’s what makes it fun.
Most people simply just drink what they are used to, and when I was a boy lighter roasted coffee was simply not around, at least where I live. But lighter roasts are certainly getting more and more popular.
“A Change Is Gonna Come” as Sam Cooke wrote (beautiful song).
I am following your research with great interest :-) . I just bought a CBR-101 myself.
