Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to this site and to roasting. I recently got a Behmor from CS and started my journey on roasting coffee. One thing I have noticed is that whenever I take coffee to the second crack I get very oily coffee and my Sunbeam EM0480 grinder starts getting very messy and the EM6910 starts dripping out the coffee if it get through. Is there any way to get a CS 9 -10 without getting oily coffee? Is it just the beans? I have found the Brazil Pulped Natural and the Ethiopian Gambella Sundried are most problematic with being very oily and cause much frustration.
Main questions are:
1. Do different profiles cause more oils than other profiles or is it the natural process of the bean cooking and sugars breaking down?
2. Do other people with better quality grinders have issues with oily beans?
3. Do you find a high variation in grind settings between say a CS8 and a CS10 roast or does it depend on the different sort of bean?
I have probably roasted about 4Kg since I have had the Behmor and I love it and have had mostly brilliant coffee but I’d be keen to hear other peoples experience in this.
Thanks,
Dan
