    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.

      Hi Potis,
      Just finished my last roast today; regrettably today was the best tasting....day 7.

      Potis, when you say 2-3 off maximum, do you mean 70%- 80% power throughout the entire roast ?

      How did you use fan?

      Can you advise what quantity (load) and your load temp...75c or higher?

      Thanks in anticipation....really interested.

      JL

        I have a friend who buys old hot air popcorn poppers and uses those to roast these beans. It works pretty good but you have to learn to listen to the beans. I think he stops at the "second crack".
