Sample Roasting Small Batches of Coffee on the Aillio Bullet

Note: Toward the end of the roast, we say "drop" temp, we actually meant "charge" temp (the temp at which beans are added to the roaster). Sorry for any confusion.
---------------------------
In this video we show you how to roast 150 grams of coffee in the Aillio Bullet.
The fact that the Bullet can roast 2 pounds all the way down to 150 grams makes it one of the more versatile roasters we offer. It also makes it an attractive option for someone starting a small roasting business since it's able to perform both production and sample roasting duties.

Ty for these roasting videos! One day I hope to get an Aillio Bullet, but for now I'm rocking my Freshroast SR800 with the razzo chamber

Thanks for releasing all this information and knowledge. I'm running a micro-roastery on the bullet and have been finding all the resources incredible so I wanted to thank your team for all of this insight you're providing totally free. Over the few weeks, I have been working with a couple of importers and farm direct contacts in getting samples, which lead me to digging into sample roasting.
Can you clarify the differences between the sample roasting post & profile that Rob Hoos provided vs. this updated video and post?
The major differences I've found are as follows:
Hoos vs. Thompson
Yellow at 4:30 vs. 3:30
First crack at 8 vs. 6:30-7
Drop at 9:30 (1:30 dev | DTR of at least 11) vs. 8:30-9 (2:00 dev | DTR of 12-13)

It looks like our profile is a more aggressive one which isn't necessarily bad or good since the main focus of sample roasting is the repeatability of the profile. Also keep in mind that every roaster is different so a good sample profile on a Bullet will not necessarily be a good profile on another machine.

⁠@@SweetMariasCoffeethanks for the well thought out response! Totally agree with everything mentioned.

Hey thanks for the roast profiles. Super helpful. Could you answer a few questions for me? Ball-park Agtron color on those roasts? What software did you use to overlay all of the roasts? Thank you in advance!

[@SweetMariasCoffee]

On the Agtron, we are assuming it's around 85 for whole bean. Nothing fancy on the overlay, just screenshots and slapped together quickly using the free version of Canva.

@@SweetMariasCoffee thank you!

So if you use 4 different coffees what exactly do you look for in taste differences. Are you strictly cupping or brewing also ?

[@SweetMariasCoffee]

In terms of evaluating, we are only cupping but sometimes, we will brew a cup or a pot for our own enjoyment.

Do you recommended it for small businesses and roasting for family and friends ?

[@SweetMariasCoffee]

Yes, out of all the home roasters we carry, the Bullet would be best for a small business depending how much coffee you plan on roasting. It's perfect for family and friends.
