Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Where do we pick up the beans? At the Coffee Barun? or somewhere else?
If its at the Barun, is there a time when people are meeting? Not too early I hope--I do like a bit of a snooze on Saturday morning.

"This sounds like a hoot. Cant wait!"

Well the beans have landed ...

[KJM]

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Hmmmm. 500g. Thats 2.5 batches for me (I standardised on 200g lots in the Gene).

This sounds like a hoot. Cant wait!

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

all

We believe that 7 day rest is pretty prefect

This will give you a trial run through frist, and maybe an chance to adjust your profile

Greg, 10 sec after first few cracks sound fine, as an genral point.

500g sample to cup and then runing through the synesso, by the 17th
-cupping on the saterday
-espresso on the sunday
-results on monday

If we want to test roaster agaisnt roaster it best done side by side at the same time, same condition and same roasted level / profile
happy to set up an roasting / cupping night @ the shop .

Thanks Mark

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Yep I reckon its tomorrow Lucinda. I think earlier in the discussion Mark mentioned a two week resting time. The only thing I would add is that the more standardised we can have the finishing point the more likely we are to be comparing roasting machines rather than roaster operators. To pull a figure out of the cooling tray, what say we pull the roast about 10 seconds after the first snaps of second crack? By this stage it should be just about to roll. Well also need to know how many samples were to submit.

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

So to get this straight in my head, do we have a particular day/date set for roasting?

[hazbean]

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Thats great, Greg! I think it will be interesting to compare them all.

After talking to Mark yesterday weve pretty much settled on 2kg each
of Kimel (could be more or less though).

Im hoping to be able to go out late tomorrow afternoon and collect CS
pickup beans, plus these, for KJM, Greg P and lucinda. Then we can all
get cracking ...

edit: just noticed cross-post with Mark -- at least we agreed (except that
its Sigri, after what I had there last week, is something to look forward to!

Hi Greg

Great to see you today, please join in our fun

All

After speaking to Andrew

2kg of PNG Sigri AA will be the bean
$14 to play
Will give you bags for your returned roast
Need to be back to us by the 17th cupping on the week end.

Roast level is in your hands

(we roast just before the rolling second crack in our 5kg)

will cup the coffee, then through the Synesso

Please let us know numbers

Thanks Mark

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Im sort of interested. My Gene Cafe is new and Im using Marks basic instructions to get what I consider is great coffee, so it is probably a very standard home roast.
If that would be a worthwhile contribution then include me in.

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Thats great Mark, thanks!

I guess logistically we can do it similarly to Pioneer in Qld?

As for the bean, Id try any of those, perhaps with a slight
preference for the Kimel. The Rwandan could be interesting,
but not sure what its like to roast.

So far KJM, lucinda and Greg P have expressed interest, but
Im sure there is some room for more.

The dates suggested look good -- cofffee out this weekend, back roasted
for the weekend of the 17th.

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Happy to run with it,

We can follow other states lead

We just need to pick a control bean thinking

Png Kimel
sweet collection daterra
Rwandan Bourbon

Please let me know whos intrested
will post coffee and 500g bag for the comp

maybe will close and post out on friday 2nd

and cup samples aprox two weeks later TBA


In your hands

Mark

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Good to hear, lucinda.

I sent Mark a PM yesterday, will see what can be done.

[lucinda]

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Yep I can be interested.

Sorry t took so long to post a reply. I am about to go to a wedding.... (no not mine)

[hazbean]

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Before talking to Mark I was waiting a bit to see (a) level of
interest and (b) the preferred way of conducting it. I think
the way its going in Qld would work (sans Turquino though).

I think lucinda might give it a try -- spoke to her in the market
this morning. That would make four, which is probably viable.

Anyone else ? ....

PS Id be happy to trek out to Coffee Barun and pick
up beans for the others, that should speed the process

Re: S.A. CoffeeSnobs "Roast-Off"...

Need to get a local commercial roaster on board too if possible hb. Has anyone talked to Coffee Barun yet?
