Love you guys! Just bought a mill city 2kg. Used off coffee tech because that’s all I can afford for now. But with you’re guys help. Hopefully one day in the future I’ll be upgrading to a much larger capacity mill city. Thanks again for making these educational videos
thank you for this video! it is really helpful and insightful. Would you please give me the name of two books which you showed in the end of the video? Thank you again!
Late reply, sorry. First, you need to know what roasting machine they are using and how many they are roasting. In my normal circumstance : using drum roaster and roasting 1-2 kg, I think it’s way too fast. To get to first crack in 4 minutes they need to push a very high amount of heat into the beans in a very short amount of time, chances are the heat itself is going to be too much it’s gonna burn the beans. Perhaps they meant to finish drying phase at 4 minutes, which is again IMO just a little too fast but more feasible. For other circumstances where they’re using sample or experimental roasting machines, I don’t have knowledge about it, sorry...
A great vid as always. Both fellas are so articulate and able to explain this complicated stuff so us beginners can understand. Thanks!!

38:18 is pretty important
What is the Software being used on the laptop?
In some coffee forums, they talk about reaching first crack at 4 minutes. Is that too quick? In the video you speak about a later time??

Are there any roasting machines that don't use a rotating drum?
I use Popcorn machine in my kitchen
