Well I'm roasting the last of the San Fran Salvadoran. Fortunately I had a lb, so I could start and finish with it. Here are the totals, 6 that were nice, two that were missing a bit, and the one that Tom stocked which was special. I'm looking forward to tasting it again, now that I have drank about 3 lbs of the sane origin. |
Speaking of cupping... I wish there was an easy way to do this. I know it takes a lot of work. Thom says so and I've tried it once. The hurdle for me is having a number of different roasts to cup and compare at the same time. Now I know why sample roasters have four and five barrels! Anyone know of a way around this problem?

Four FR's ?? You can begin to appreciate all that Tom does for us when you understand that he cups all of this stuff ahead of his orders! On Sat, 2004-02-21 at 17:39, Dan Bollinger wrote: <Snip> |
Don't know a way round that except serial roasting like I did this afternoon. But I guess that gives them slightly differnet roasting ages. If you can make it round this evening we can cup 5 different beans. But I plan on gifting most to our dinner guest so tonight is the only chance on this one... ;-) Might be a problem that I didn't roast for cupping (very light roast, just after 1st crack, isn't that what they go for), these have all been taken to around 2nd crack and a couple into rolling 2nd. OTOH we could do press pots of them all...

Tryer? I that what you mean? Sometime around 15:39 2/21/2004, Dan Bollinger typed: <Snip> -- John Nanci AlChemist at large Zen Roasting , Blending & Espresso pulling by Gestalthttp://www.dreamsandbones.net/blog/http://www.chocolatealchemy.com/ |
<Snip> John, I don't know what I mean. I have a problem, not the inability to remember the solution. A tryer sample would let you test the same bean at various roasts. That's a good solution to cupping various roasts for the same bean. I'll remember it and try (no pun intended) it out. But, won't solve the other problem, cupping various beans. Dan |
