Burr seasoning and break-in
Why new burrs require a break-in period, how seasoning affects grind consistency and flavor, and the best practices for speeding up the process.
Essential consistent
Temperature stability considerations
How temperature stability during immersion and hybrid brewing affects extraction consistency and flavor clarity.
Alignment and parallelism
How precise alignment and parallel positioning of burrs affects grind consistency and extraction performance.
Development Time and DTR targets
This topic explains how to manage the development phase of roasting, including how to target the optimal Development Time Ratio (DTR) for flavor and roast consistency.
Gas, airflow, drum speed controls
This topic covers how key roaster controls—gas (heat), airflow, and drum speed—affect roast development, bean temperature, and flavor outcomes.
