Hey Guys
I recently got hold of a new Hottop B model roaster from Mark at things coffee.
Firstly have to thank Mark for his patience and understanding whilst i ummmmmed and ahhhed leading up to the purchase.
I'm wanting to learn how to use it as well as possible and have decided (hopefully a good decision) to buy a bunch of the same bean (rather than chopping and changing) from beanbay and work my way through it until i really know how to control the roaster. The roaster itself seems so easy to roast with, but id like to play with settings, fan speed, element control etc and really see what it can and can't do, what i can and can't do!! and how it reacts to different settings.
I'm leaning towards the Rwanda Nyungwe at present. I love cocoa bombs in flat whites and so do a couple of people that i rope in to try my roasts so i figured it may be a good place to start........
I'm really looking for validation thats it's a good bean to do this sort of testing with BUT if someone can recommend a current beanbay offering that would be a easier to roast, and learn with I'm all ears.
Plus if anyone has any suggestions to get me started on the learning path please post away, i love to learn
Cheers
Luke
