Re: blend after roasting?
I have recently bought some robusta and was unsure of how to roast and what to do with it. Thanks to this thread (and my popper!) I have a much better understanding. Much appreciated everyone. Thanks

Re: blend after roasting?
Me too. As I roast the Robusta fairly heavily I add it post roast. For other blends for simplicity and small batch sizes I roast together. I am sure there is benefits in separate roasting and post mixing but for home use and small batches there is a practical compromise.Originally posted by 416C686469050 link=1287659499/1#1 date=1287660526I use it for batches of Robusta (between 80-100g)

Re: blend after roasting?
With such small batches, thats where keeping the Popper in the back of the cupboard comes in handy. I use it for batches of Robusta (between 80-100g) and roasted about a week before I roast the beans Im going to blend it with.Originally posted by 3C27262D2D480 link=1287659499/0#0 date=1287659499Hi every1
I only roast about 2 cups of green beans in my corretto at a time.
So if i wanted to do a 80/20 roast by first roasting the 80%, well the remaining 20% roast would be a very small roast at best.
Thats why i have been just roasting the beans together atm.
Is it better to roast seperate on the same day and bag the desired blend afterwards?
The same approach can be used for any blend where the blend components are so different that pre-blend roast batches are not going to give you the best results in the cup. Generally (yeah I know :
, shouldnt use that word when talking about specialist coffee) really hard beans like some high grown Guatemalan varieties, Ethiopian or Yemen for example.... require a different roast profile to most of the Base beans (and other Flavour beans) such as Low Grown Brazilian, etc.
A pre-blend roast batch of these beans will still produce outstanding results in the cup most likely, but not the best they could be if you spent the time needed to roast different bean types separately and then allowed them to rest separately as well, before blending. All this can sometimes seem like too much trouble but believe me, it is worth it and once you get organised to do things this way, it makes a very interesting hobby even more interesting.
Better drag out that old Popper mate....
Mal.
