Re: looking for roasting tips for Jamaica Blue Mountain
Hi guys, I roasted JBM on my Hottop B a few days ago.
Total roast time 15mins 45secs.
I go relatively easy on the heat early for most of the roast (2-3 off maximum).
I got to first crack at 205-206 degrees at around 13-13.5 mins. First crack seemed to take a bit longer than some of the other beans Ive roasted, but done and dusted by 208-210 degrees. Ejected at 216 degrees, just before second crack.
Couldnt wait too long, so ground and drank on day 4. Delicious. Crema king - pulled a 50mm shot and half was crema. Wasnt fussed at first as an espresso, but the second cup was much nicer. Expensive but delicious, particularly with milk. The coffee got nicer as you drank more.
Very very happy with it. Up there with the authentic Kona peaberry I roasted a while back.
