  • What is CS

    OK, I've been reading lots of threads here trying to get a grasp of things before I delve into actually burning some beans. I see lots of references to CSx (where x is a number usually 7-10) I'm guessing it's something to do with roast temp, time, or colour maybe ?

    Its a Coffee Snobs roasting colour reference 1 = lightest 10 = darkest.

    A few years ago Andy had membership cards available, currently sold out, picture below will give you an idea.

      You can still make your own card if you wish by printing out the JPG image downloadable from http://coffeesnobs.com.au/beanbay-ba...ber-cards.html

      The scale actually goes from 1 to 12 where 1 is green (raw) and 12 is black (chuck them in the bin).

          Its rather arbitrary anyway now the cards are no longer available. We are viewing the image on different screens and/or printers that may render colours differently.

            True, although it does give those new to roasting a good idea of what to aim for.

              Thanks for that, I think I can gauge the colour without the card myself, I’ve got a good idea what I’m doing.
