202.8C Drop = Diner Coffee?

Roasting on the Bullet
1

I’ve been roasting and learning on the R2 Pro for a few months now - 350g batches of washed Ethiopian Gerba Hechere.

I’ve made slight adjustments to the Aillio 350g sample profile and decided to try at a lower charge temp (200C). The roast profile (to me) reads a light roast, but after doing a few pour overs and French press, it seems more like a diner cup of coffee - is this due to the lower batch size and charge temp?

You’re saying you expected a “light roast” but got “diner coffee”?

Can you say more about what the difference means to you?

397F and 1:45 DT is definitely on the less-developed end of the spectrum, but what did you expect to get that you didn’t get (or got that you didn’t expect?)
