WE ROASTED COMPETITION COFFEE | This is how DIFFERENT it was

We are now foraging into competition coffees and our first one is from the highly regarded Cafe Granja La Esperanza in Colombia. Their coffees are constantly brewed during Brewers Cup and Barista Championships globally, as well as being entered into the Cup of Excellence. We're excited to try this Natural Pacamara and explain our process behind the roast. Check out our next video where we talk about the cupping and brewed notes.

Hey! Those are all great coffees!
Total roast time was just over 13 minutes for that roast. More recent roasts have been closer to 12.

Thanks for sharing! Looks like very good coffee.
Would you mind sharing how you document and profile new beans for the first time? Do you start with a full batch in the 3-e? I see the laptop in the background, and it looks like you might have a spreadsheet with notes?

[@StraitCoffeeRoasters]

Yep. That's it! Lots of meticulous note taking during and after the roast. I'm monitoring temperature, RoR, loft, color, first crack time, etc.

@@StraitCoffeeRoasters Thank you!

[@greysuit17]

Those beans are huge!

[@StraitCoffeeRoasters]

Right!!

[@LivingTheLifeRetired]

Did you measure bean density first?

[@StraitCoffeeRoasters]

Good question. No, but maybe we will in the future. The beans went from really large to extremely large! Ha!
Pacamara beans are usually pretty large beans, no matter the elevation.
