Drop 4: How does the soak in roasting affect Peak RoR and total roast time

Tune in soon for updates on drop 4! There's still time to purchase the drop here.

Instructions for participants

  1. Wait until the coffee is at least 10 days rested before brewing. Ideally, the coffee is 18-20 days rested.
  2. Brew each coffee (your way) and take notes on flavors, roast character, and structure.
    1. No you do not have to brew each coffee on the same day. If you do want to do this, I propose you try cupping them (see Base Coat IG for a how to). 
    2. When tasting, think about structure of flavors, acidity, sweetness, and overall cup complexity. The details here should be pretty nuanced between each up.
  3. Share with us any feedback on taste you have! We plan to update this page with your feedback (anonymously of course).

Experiment Design

Each purchaser received 3 different profiles of the same coffee in 60g quantities. Each profile has the same charge temperature, drop temperature, gas adjustments, and airflow settings. Rate of rise will vary since our peak heat velocity will differ between profiles. Purchasers were not blind to profiles this time around. Instead, the packaging let them know what was different between each roast. Total roast times, and development time differences (if any) were shared on each bag.
