Part 5: Tips Continued

    Button-  Key  Tip:  ‘Rosetta  Stone’:

  To  better  anticipate  a  roast  hitting  2

nd

  crack  and  for 

additional roast.

 (Further details page 9, 10, 12 and 13)

 

 

4.

 

The “C” button (defined further page 9 and 10) allows you to more accurately control and understand 
where  you are in  a roast, especially in  cases where  you have a bean type that migrates from 1C to 2C 
seamlessly. This also helps to prevent you from over-roasting your beans. 

The times are approximately the time it takes from start of the very first snaps of 1

st

 crack (1C) to the 

start of 2

nd

 crack (2C) for regular coffee.  Decaf and aged coffees, such as Malabar, roast faster and get 

darker more quickly 

5.

 

In  order  to  prevent  possible  issues  with  over-roasting,  we  have  built  in 

maximum  roast  times

 

associated  with  each  profile

.

  If  you  should  happen  to  be  roasting  at  P1,  the  system  is  designed  to 

prevent you from allotting more than 20:30 minutes roast time. This is a safety feature.

Quicker  cool-down  option

:  After  the  beans  have  ceased  snapping  (approximately  1:30  minutes  after 

cooling has started), while keeping the system on cool, simply open the front door. Doing this will allow 
a greater airflow over the beans. The one drawback is that a small amount of chaff will blow out past the 
chaff  tray. 

NEVER

  STOP  THE  SYSTEM  IMMEDIATELY  AFTER  COMPLETING  A  ROAST  TO 

REMOVE  THE  ROASTING  DRUM  AND  COOL  THE  BEANS.  Stopping  the  system  before 
reasonable cooling may damage the system’s internal electronic components.  

 
7.

 

Know your beans.

 Hard Bean (SHB - strictly hard bean or HG- high grown) vs. Soft Bean is based on 

the altitude at which beans  are grown. Bean suppliers often post data about grades,  such as SHB, HG, 
etc. when describing the bean characteristics. 
 

A few examples of standard Profiles for types of bean are: 

    

P1-P2: All Centrals, Peruvian and Colombians 
P3: Brazilians, Africans, Southeast Asians, Malabar*, Jamaican Blue Mountain and Yauco Selecto   
      (Puerto Rican) 
P4-P5: Kona and other low grown island coffees (P4 just into 2

nd

 crack, and P5 for shy of 2

nd

 crack) 

 

* Due to types of processing, aged and 

Decaffeinated Coffees roast quicker

 and remind users, as 

discussed earlier, to never gauge a degree of roast by the appearance of oils or non-appearance of oils.
