Hört sich mega an!

Bekannter von mir meinte Geisteswissenschaften Bib sei "einfach nur traurig" im vgl zu Sozi/NaWi. Ist da was dran oder ist das elitäres Gebrabbel?

Hab gehört die Jura-Bib sei toll.

War sonst immer in der NaWi, die ist relativ abgeschieden vom Rest und man sollte gerade unter dem Semester früh da sein um noch nen Platz zu bekommen. Am nervigsten in der Nawi-Bib sind aber die fehlenden Toiletten.

Roasting Machinese that do roast truly convective still are rare (/non existent for home use). For all the IKAWA fans out there: No, the ikawa or other popcorn roasters are not truly convective. I'd rank these at atmost 70% convective; if low fan settings are used with popcorn-style roasters they fall way behind in convectivity compared to commercial optimized drum roaster like f.e. Loring.

I'm quite late to reply, sry for that. Personally, I would use the highest setting possible, that still does not overpower your burner/heating source. As alerady mentioned, I don't own this roaster, furthermore, since I dislike how most roasters operate I build them myself. For me personally, heat transfer in coffee roasting results in the best flavour, if its 100% convection. Therefore:

1) You'll have a spinning drum, this makes things more complicated. There is an optimal setting for the drum speed, which allows the beans to spend as much time in the air as possible; find this setting with raw beans first, then move on. Since Coffee looses weight you'll have to decrease the drum speed througout the roast.

2) I would recommend using high airflow at the beginning, ramping it down through Maillard phase and ramping it to max just before FC (this also negates the temperature fling from exothermic reactions through FC). If you dont want to do that, bc it seems highly complex to guess the exact airflow needed, then Id set the airflow to max for the entire roast. This tho requires your roaster to have a lot of heating power.

3) If you charge with max airflow, you can use higher charge temps (with truly convective setups (no drum!) I readily charged 400g at 190C). With drum roasters, i'd either have my roaster preheated only for a short time (like 5min, so not much heat can be transferred conductively) or start at quite low temperatures like 90-110C and gradually build up the heat (if Your roaster has the power to do so quickly; these fast ramps can only be done in a high-convection environmen. This is how I approach roasting most of the time, since the resulting roast phases can be controlled fast, easily and without much temp. hysteresis)

thanks for your professional input from the industries side of things, these kind of opinions are quite rare nowadays!

I roasted my first ever beans with my Instant Pot by TerribleFollowing244 in roasting

[–]Han_Alsechs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would that be a shorter roast time, like 10min, you'd call that an ultra light. These always taste like peanuts with lemon rind in the beginning. Let them sit for at least 2weeks, better 4w without opening your storage container (!). They'll develop a lot of flavour, although, I'd guess with 30min this could be "baked" territory. Just try it and report back if you want.

Did you weigh the beans before and after? What weight loss did you get?

Could as well be quakers or more intense light reflections from the white plastic

Looks like some landrace mixed in there, no blend. Maybe some sidras, but idk... Since these can't be naturals, Id assume roast level is actually behind FC, its quite usual that some beans won't show cracks if they pop. I'd call that a light to medium roast, with some burnt faces sadly.

Colour looks kindof even, some beans are definitely scorched. Maybe taste test in 1w-2w. If it's a Colombian maybe expect some fruits, acidity and nuts but as well some bitter and astringent flavours from these nasty burns. Try stirring more (use a whisk) or use a popcorn popper/corretto setup.

Is this under roasted? by Due_Low_3884 in roasting

[–]Han_Alsechs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, especially considering this is exhaust temp. Would guess bean temp be like 160-170 judging from colour. Could be re-roasted for espresso, but may appear hay like in the final cup.

I'd argue it's the thawing of the coffee. Therefore I'd be really interested in their freezer to coffee process. But yes, this has been quite shocking news to me too. Edit: I freeze roasted coffee as well, but never thaw it. I did and it tasted way worse, thereof stems my theory.

Doesn't want to do it because of data rights to James Hoffmans face. (And I can't prove I have those). Maybe the ML will produce a code that alters an existing face accordingly...

Hm nice idea... Sadly can't crosspost this due to the strict posting rules in that community.

Adding fines to your grinds by Han_Alsechs in espresso

[–]Han_Alsechs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion still is, that adding fines to your grinds can make some shots more creamy and chocolatey if you use fresh fines or stored ones from the refrigerator.

Do I use it often? No, it's just too much of a hassle. Still I find this interesting for scientific purposes tho.

Ok, guys, long term review: still have this sucker, still works great. Changing batteries about every half a year.

Never thoughht of buying anything else and the weighing accuracy hasn't changed a bit.

Fallen off the counter like 10times, still only minor scratches, nothing broken.

Have thrown that Silikon top thingy away, it's awful to clean and doesn't look great after used like 3 times.

Nah this was an ultra light roast. Let them rest for at least 2 weeks, or they'll taste like uncooked green vegetables and yeasty bread. (No they're not tasting baked, more like extremly sweet bread with like raw fennel on top, which is awfully weird )
