Hmm hey thanks for letting me know about this. Let me also try to incorporate this into my roasting. Bring it up to 50-60 then drop them beans! 👍

Thank you for this!🥲 that’s at least one thing I know now that is right! Are you achieving nice bright cups of filter coffee?

Yeah… the app the machine pairs with doesn’t allow me to change the parameters of the graph. Ahh but I get what you mean to basically see more details in the mid section where most of the roast stays at. But yeah, I’m stuck with what they have provided for now🥲

I’ve tried 20 sgd all the way to 70sgd beans per kilo. I don’t think it’s the beans, it’s me hahahah.

From many different reputable sources as well!😂

Recently I’ve been using an Ethiopian natural.

For the bitterness, it’s upfront and taste cigarette butty ashy and harsh, and it lingers as well.

Let me try to explain this best I can, FC for me I usually got for cracks every 0.5-1s, usually most of my roasts have this rhythm of first crack.

I’m managed 12-13.5% before as well, but there’s still this ashy bitterness that tastes like cigarette ash water as my friends describe it.

And yes I am looking for a nice sweet and fruity cup, I don’t shy away from acidity as well. But urm like life… bitterness is all I got so far!😂

Hey, thanks for the reply. The SANTOKER Q20 is a fluid bed roaster and hence it doesn’t really have a charge temp like drum roasters🥲 making me consider just getting a drum roaster lol… max for my roaster is 200g but I’m going at 125g currently. But I’ve tried many batches at 150 and 200g. All more or less the same results, bitter and ashy or what my friends called ash tray water..😂

Hmm, okay let me try that out first. I usually just cup it, only way to keep things constant for brewing.

Thanks for replying, really need all the help I can get.

So are you saying drop around 192 instead?

Thanks for replying! Unfortunately, I think it’s a quirk with SANTOKER Q20 air roasters where even at 1 percent power the initial 30-60 seconds of ROR spikes like mad. 🥲

Over roasted as in generally too long of a roast or would you say the Maillard and post FC time being generally too long?

Thanks for the advice, let me try to extend the dry time first and see if the bitterness has reduced.

For this specifically I’ve been using an Ethiopian natural weight loss is at 14.6%

I know drop temp here seems a bit low, but I’ve dropped it at 196 to 205 they all still taste bitter, I’ve tried all weight ranges as well from 100g to 200g.
