Appreciate the video and the defects sheet. However, the defects sheet only appears in XML format and is not viewable.
Thanks-great episode! I noticed the temperature shot up really fast on my last honey process roast (in SR800 at CCNOLA). I didn’t notice if the chaff collector was clogged but that makes sense. I’ll check it next time.
Very informative, can't wait to try my new extension tube!
Is there an industry standard for grading green specialty coffee beans that a consumer should look for when purchasing?
New subscriber and new to coffee roasting. I am sure after tasting my first roast, I will have questions......but just want you to both know that I have learned a lot from your roast along and podcasts. Thank you!
Sometimes, it's even sometimes it's not it's traiil and error all we can do is figure out is the right temperature with the right fan speed.
True!
Do your roast times start with the Gene cafe at room temp or after a preheat?
We roast at room temp, so if you choose to pre-heat, adjust the time/temp accordingly!
We have been a customer since 2019, shortly after discovering coffee could be roasted at home. Who knew?! I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about your business. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear it! We love what we do!
Such an underrated video series. I look forward to seeing it every week. Thank you both for the continuing education.
We appreciate you! Love making these, and we're so happy some folks are finding them helpful!
Hello !! I am a big fan of your channel ! Could you do some roast coffee bean video about use Bullet R1 V2 please !? Thank you ! Btw, I love your ADAME GORBOTA G1 Yirgacheffe Natural !!
Thank you for your kind words! We plan to make a Bullet video in the near future! And the Adame is excelllet! Glad you enjoy it too!
Great question. I have to confess I never thought about it.
Glad it was helpful!
If you were going to 2nd crack would you just continue to lower the fan? Is it OK to make adjustments during 1st crack or is it better to let it finish first?
It's fine to make adjustments during 1st or 2nd crack, but if I adjust during 2nd crack I'll typically reduce the heat or increase the fan, so as not to fly too quickly through 2nd crack and wind up darker than intended. If you want to go into 2C, just increase the heat earlier in the roast to accelerate through the middle stages of the roast.
@CoffeeBeanCorralOfficial awesome. Thank you. If you were roasting a natural what would you do different? What batch size would you recommend for the sr540 and extension tube? Thanks again. I have a million questions.
Nicely done! Good info
What's up with the mountains dew😂😂😂😂
Perfect timing! I've been wanting to give roasting a decaf bean a shot. Thanks for the weekly videos.
I appreciate your answering viewer questions and look forward to your weekly video.
I know, my first roast was terrible. But thanks to talking to you and keeping records of my coffee roasting has gotten a lot better. Ps thank you.
Follow up question on blends: If I were experimenting with blends I would roast each coffee separately then blend one cup at a time. That way I can adjust the ratio without waiting to finish the entire batch. Do the beans roast differently together or is the result basically the same? Do they interact in the roaster?
I do like the Yemen blend it's great for turkish coffee. Or pour over.
Agreed, the Red Sea or the True Mocca Java?
@CoffeeBeanCorralOfficial I just had some this morning while listening to your podcast today.
I’m drinking- Tanzania, peaberry, Kilimanjaro washed. It’s delicious and it’ll be a regular in my orders. I’ve tasted 30-ish from CBC but none were what Bob talked about. Well I have more coffees to try. Sounds like fun and delicious 😋
0:57 Everybody has different tastes, either your like it or don't 😂
So delicious and fun to roast coffees from around the world. A couple of weeks with a roast then on to another flavor. 95% are good to delicious. A couple have been awful 😣. I roast simple and hokey. Coleman stove, plus a heat gun in a cast iron Dutch oven. Oh and stir with a pain-stick. 12-18 minutes, cause if I do it faster I sometimes burn 🔥 the beans. I really enjoy my coffee from CBC. Even if I take toooooo long to roast the beans 🫘. 👍🏼
I'm glad you're enjoying roasting! We love hearing the creative ways folks roast their coffee, and I've heard of using a camp stove before, and I've heard of using a heat gun, but using both together is a new one! Glad it's working for you!
Go Razzo😊
We don't have one of those aftermarket extension tubes, but I've heard good things! How does it compare vs. the OE tube in our video?
@@CoffeeBeanCorralOfficial with the razzo and a 540 I am able to roast 220 grams so able to do a pound in 2 roasts
Great video! Please make a roast-a-long video on roasting decaf on the Gene Cafe.
Thanks for the note! We've gotten several questions about decafs recently, so we expect to create some content along those lines in the near future!
@@CoffeeBeanCorralOfficial Fantastic! Can you suggest what settings to use on the Gene Cafe for roasting Decaf. Thanks
@@conradcrisafulli8269 I would start with a slightly lower heat setting for one, but the important difference between decaf and regular is not to let your eyes deceive you. Decaf is already darker, so going by color will have you cooling the coffee too soon. The 1st crack is typically harder to hear, so I'd do what I can to really pay attention so you can note the beginning and end of 1st crack. From there, carry it into the first few snaps of 2C if you want to go dark, but that can get away from you and result in burnt coffee, so I'd start off shooting for a medium roast, dropping between 1st and 2nd crack and adjust from there!
@@CoffeeBeanCorralOfficial So slightly lower like 450 degrees? Before watching your video did a 255 gram decaf roast by preheating without beans to fist alarm then cool down cycle to 140 degrees. Added the green beans and noted the temp of 154 degrees roasted a 482 degrees for 10 minutes. Noted first crack at 440 degrees 12:30 minutes ben weight loss was12%. The beans were so hard it choked my grinder. Thanks for your help!🙂
if you haven't invested yet in an extension tube, would you recommend that the fan and heat settings stay the same? I'm currently using an SR540 and have tried a lot of different profiles. Most of my roasts turn out pretty good. The only thing that I notice is that when ground, I don't get that great coffee aroma that I seem to get when I buy already roasted beans from any of our local small batch roasters.
Great questions! We have a different profile for the Fresh Roast with and without the Ex Tube, which you can find by looking at the "Roast-a-Long" section of our UA-cam page. You'll see a video for "with Extension Tube" and "without Extension tube" -- I recommend checking both out to compare and contrast. As for the aroma, I wonder how long you're allowing your coffee to "rest" or degas after roasting and before grinding? At least 3 days resting is recommended for most coffees, and some lighter roasted coffees don't come into their full flavor and aroma until a few weeks after the roast!
@@CoffeeBeanCorralOfficial Thanks! I'll check it out. Degassing for 24 hours (min) in open air, then storing for about 5-7 days in an airtight mason jar before starting to grind. Great info and btw, love the podcast! Very insightful for those of us just getting into home roasting!
Thank you! I enjoyed it! 😊😊
Thanks for saying that!
I am a Gene cafe roaster for quite some time. Just heard you say that you sent a mail with reference to Gene Roaster time charts. Can I get access to that mail or info? Many thanks
Absolutely! We made that info the description for the Gene Cafe Roast-a-Long video here: ua-cam.com/video/lSPoE2qL1ss/v-deo.html So just check the description under the video and you'll see all that info!
Thanks a lot for your answers , I appreciate it a lot. BTW I just purchased the Toddy from your website, let’s see how it goes. I usually listen to you through the iPhone podcasts app but there is no room for comments there, that is why I am answering here. Where can I find all user comments?
I hope you enjoy the Toddy! Apple Podcast doesn't have episode-level commenting, but you can leave a review on our Apple Podcast show page and let everyone know how we're doing! We only have one comment up now, so yours would be half the comments! haha
I just made turkish coffee with the longberry coffe
The SR800 is extremely loud and annoying.
Just purchased the 540. This helps a lot thanks for posting.
Enjoy it!
Steve you help me so much in coffe roasting i just want to say thank you.
Thank you for this video. Would be nice to have two other items A pdf of your 10 commandments Also a chart or a copy of what the log entry would look like for the roast that you shared with us
Nice video. Looking forward to trying my first batch!
Awesome, thanks! Let us know how the roast turned out when you try it.
Very helpful, especially not using an extension cord and how to toggle and find the temperature. Can’t wait to do this!
Glad it was helpful!
