Roasting great coffee - what really counts | with André Kirberg

[@Akdale777]

You have great guests. Thanks for putting the effort in.

[@CoffeeRoasting]

Thanks a lot for your kind feedback. (and the great thing about those interviews is, that I am also learning a lot through them)

He is a great host ;)

I use a fluid bed roaster, SR800 by Fresh Roast. It operates on a different principle, than the Bullet, but the information you presented in this podcast was very informative and helpful. Thank you!

You are welcome! The most important aspects of coffee roasting are universal - then comes the machine and your roasting style.

[@spuds129]

Great conversation! I am looking forward to following the experience on the Bullet!

[@CoffeeRoasting]

Thanks so much. You can follow André as well as us also on social media. Be assured, that there will be more coming in the future.

We will keep you updated!

[@charlievanvleck5158]

Incredible. Thank you so much.

[@CoffeeRoasting]

Thank you, I'm happy if it helped.

I acquired my bullet a month ago and have been making some side hustle business with selling specialty coffee beans. Not growing big, but I hope it will start to grow big later on.

[@CoffeeRoasting]

Great to hear! That's how most of the contemporary coffee brands you probably look up to have initially started. All the best wishes!

Good way to start! Good Luck and happy roasting!

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

@@CoffeeRoasting Thanks bro!

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

@ Amen 🙏 brother!

I'm really interested in the Kaleido roasters and how something like the M6 compares to the Bullet. Love all your stuff 👍

[@CoffeeRoasting]

To my knowledge, there are some comparison already on KZbin. I haven't been working with the Kaleido myself yet therefore in that setting currently I can only talk about the Aillio Bullet which is in my opinion a really fantastic machine not only when it comes to roast quality but also user interface, built quality, service, innovation,...

[@simongoodman9783]

Great video and really good to hear those ideas.

[@CoffeeRoasting]

thanks a lot for your kind feedback. That's great to hear.

[@PhilippRottner]

Great content, thank you! What I don’t quite understand as home roaster: Why would I judge roasts by cupping instead of brewing the coffee? Unlike roasters I’m not trying to compare different green origins, and in the end I want the cofee to taste best with my target brewing method.

[@CoffeeRoasting]

The cupping protocol is a widely used standard to take brewing / preparation out when evaluating / talking about greens. In addition to that, it is particularly simple to do it with a lot of samples and you can make a setup where many cups are being prepared the same and at about the same time. For home users, you are right, just use the preparation method you want to roast for.

[@jeffburling7224]

You said that you grind coarse for a cupping. Do you change your grind depending on whether it is a light, medium or dark roast ?

[@CoffeeRoasting]

I always roast to the same roasting degree for cuppings and therefore also use the same grind size as well.
