    Re: My first roast with IMex CR-100

    Lookin good Sunny 8-),

    As youve probably noticed when perusing through the various threads about roasting, the most important measure of success at the end of the day, is what the brews taste like in the cup. Let that be your guide and its hard to go wrong.

    Great roasts mate..... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    Re: My first roast with IMex CR-100

    I have recently acquired an Imex CR-100  from a fellow CS member and have been impressed with the ease of roasting. Im not sure that I heard either FC or SC over the noise of the fan so I relied on colour. My first roasts were 125g for 12m30s while the latest were 150g also for 12m30s.

    I started with the sample pack roasting Panama Volcan Baru and Columbian Volcan Galeras. To my unsophisticated palate the results were excellent.

    My latest roasts were the Indian Mysore Nuggets from Bean Bay and some Ugandan Bugisu from Jason at Pioneer Roastery. Two days post roast and they are smelling great. I finding it hard to wait to sample these.  :P

    If you have MS office then you could use MS Office Picture Manager. or Adobe Photoshop or similar.

    Not sure what programs you have
    Probably the easiest to use and the one I use most with WinXP is the M$ PowerToys "Image Resizer" which you can download here..... Lots of other very interesting little apps in there too,

    Cheers,

    Made an espresso this morning with my 1st roast. It was very sour with very weak body. U are right David. However, it tasted nutty after i put half a sugar in it.
    Hey Tony,

    Give it some time to degas....say another 3 days....and then have a crack at it. It will be way too unsettled to use now. If it is still sour as I predicted in my last post, then you need to take this bean further.

    Cheers,

    David

    Hi David,

    Ill try to roast it longer next time. I made a latte just now. Find out that the latte is very very weak. I think the roast is too light. Hopefully, I can do it better next time.

    Hi Tony,

    Nice work on your first roast. From the photos I dont think these beans have reached 2nd crack. Looks good....the proof is in the cup, youll just get more acidity from this roast. You have a Sunbeam EM6910 right? Crank the temp to 96 C and see how it goes.

    Cheers,

    David Seng

    Not a bad roast.

    May I suggest that you post the photos a little smaller so it it easier to view the whoile picture without scrolling up / down and left/right. The mods will probably adjust these pics to be smaller but easier for them if you do it before posting. Also not zoomin in so much will help with focusing.

    Let the roast settle for a few days to degas then try it. It should improve over the week after settling down.

    Another one

    Sugilun,

    Ive asked you quite a few times in the past to try and keep your images at a size no greater than 640x480 pixels in size. It would be appreciated if you can aim to do this in the future please....

    Thank you,
    Mal.

    As a general rule, most beans only last 1 or 2 days before selling out.
    The more popular ones are usually gone within a few minutes of going on sale, so you have to be quick! But there are often some other beans still available for the next day or two.
