Something a little different in the profile this time:
Stage 1: 300º F for 5 mins of warming / drying
Stage 2: 435º F for 4 mins (shortened from 5 mins 30 secs)
Stage 3: 460º F for 2 mins
Stage 4: 482º F for 2 mins 15 secs - 2 mins 30 secs (added)
Stage 5: 460º F for remainder of roast including 1st crack
I have included links to my roasting and brewing note for the two coffees that were roasting with this profile below:
Columbia Cauca Organic - La Esperanza
Ethiopia Late Harvest Yirgacheffe

Eddie, I have a question about your profile: when you say 435 for 4 minutes do you mean you hold it at 435 once the GC reaches that temperature or you set the GC at the temperature for 4 minutes? The reason I ask is that my GC will not go from 300 to 435 in 4 minutes, rather it takes about 5 with 220 grams of beans.
I mean to from the time you set it at 435 until the next time you change the temperature should be 4 minutes. For a myriad of reasons, different Gene Cafes with ramp differently. The point is that I don't want the temperature going any higher than that until I increase it.

Just a quick thanks. I have learned a lot from your blogs and it has really shortened my learning curve.
Thank you, George! I really appreciate that!
Hi Eddie.
I am a beginner in home roasting and I bought my Gene Cafe partly from your positive comments, so can you help me giving some links to read something about?
I have bought the machine together with some green coffee beans and I try to roast them but after I learn something more.
