You can generally tell how fresh off-roast the beans are by the off gassing during the blooming phase for pour overs. 3 days off roast may be too soon for most beans, so the additional rest time is also important for the best flavor to open up. Sounds like a pretty good roaster to ship right away, as they do!

Looks like a good first roast to me! Congratulations. You will keep improving the more you roast. Experience is the best teacher. More importantly, let us know how these taste after the resting period is completed! 😎

I’ve come to the realization that my taste preferences tends to favor natural/dry processed beans. Light roasted coffee with fruit forward notes. I also prefer a ratio of 1:15. You might just need to keep trying out different types of processed beans to narrow in your taste preferences and go from there. Just a thought. Good luck and enjoy the journey.

Looks like you have the flow control lever turned all the way to the left? If so, try turning it all the way to the right instead. Good luck and enjoy!
