Managing RoR flicks and crashes
This topic explains how to monitor and control sudden fluctuations in Rate of Rise (RoR) during roasting, ensuring a smooth, predictable roast curve.
Charge temperature
Designing profiles for density and size
This topic covers how to create roasting profiles tailored to bean density and size, ensuring even roast and optimal flavor development.
Charge temp and turning point
This topic explains the significance of charge temperature and the turning point in coffee roasting, and how they affect bean development and final flavor.
Heat transfer: conduction, convection, radiation
This topic explains the three mechanisms of heat transfer—conduction, convection, and radiation—in coffee roasting, how they interact, and their influence on bean development and flavor outcomes.
Impact of age on roast behavior
This topic explains how the age of green coffee affects roasting performance, physical transformations, and flavor outcomes, and why roasters carefully track bean age when designing roast profiles.
