Re: IRoast Roasting Profiles??

Re: IRoast Roasting Profiles??
I have a new IRoast and the first roast I did on Preset 2 with a cup of Columbian Supremo Carmelo were burnt and had to go straight into the bin.
I repeated the experiment carefully watching the beans and I waited until they had a nice dark browm colour and and just starting to oil up and hit the cool-down buton three minutes before the end of the program.
The result was excellent. I do like my coffee on the well roasted side with just a slight bitter edge.Comment

Re: IRoast Roasting Profiles??
The I roasts do seem to have a reputation for getting hot quickly and burning beans.
Its worthwhile to checkout the mods for this machine on the Sweet Marias website. I found the mods substantially improved the burning situation.
The other thing you can try if youre in a cold area is to store youre beans outside. It was about -2 in Canberra last night so the beans stored in my shed were quite cold. I roasted some Sumatran beans on the preset 2 cycle which appeared to come out well.

Re: IRoast Roasting Profiles??
I got an iRoast 2 a couple weeks ago (this is pretty much the best option for an apartment dweller). So far so good on Preset 1 & just changing the roast time.
I wish it was quieter so I dont have to roast on the balcony.

Re: IRoast Roasting Profiles??
I owned an Iroast 2 for 18 months before I read the below thread and followed Hazbeans advice to swap the installed 1000 ohm resistor for an 1800 ohm or 1k8 resistor.
I havnt looked back!!!! please.....take at look at this thread and just go do it!!!
