What a crazy three weeks, orders have just kept ramping up and to keep up the 30kg roaster is now in near daily operation to keep up with the demand. And the little 5kg isn't even getting a rest, that's being used regular for the slower moving origins so I don't have too much roasted - just enough to meet orders. In fact some days I go back and forth between the two - multiroasting!
The drum turns, and gas burns - in 15 minutes 30kg of coffee goes from green raw to a lovely brown roasted.
Keeping an eye on the roasting beans with the two view windows and the sample spoon, it's essential to keep the roast on time.
With the PC hooked up to the roaster I can use Artisan Scope to ghost the profile of my previous best roast of any coffee - keep the ghost and live curve lines together and you perfect repeatable results. Keep on top of the gas adjustment and airflow and you can drop within seconds of the previous best at exactly the same bean colour.
Then it's thunk clunk as the pneumatic piston opens the drum and 30kg of coffee drops into the cooling tray - 210 degrees to ambient in a few minutes thanks to two monster cooling fans sucking fresh air over the freshly roasted beans.
What started in February as a small project to start tidying up the warehouse by painting the more grotty walls evolved into a slow revamp of the whole building.
While just 8 weeks ago this sink area was avoided, with the addition of new flooring and floor paint, new kitchen units and counter tops it's a much more inviting space. So much so I had two guests today from Hertfordshire who actually originate from Rwanda and are planning on buying a roaster to roast coffee from the contacts they have back home - after watching some roasts on the roasters I brewed them some of the Rwandan coffee I had roasted with a drip filter. They loved the coffee and seeing the many varieties of coffee we have both in sacks and roasted - it was really nice to be able to stand and discuss coffee roasting in this now bright and clean space -it might not be perfect but it suits the purpose.
And with the increased capacity and demand I've had to invest in more equipment to make bringing all the green coffee we now need to roast into thee building easier. This electric pallet stacker will make unloading 600kg pallets of coffee from delivery wagons much easier and now our stock coffee can be stored much more efficiently stacked in the warehouse.
Who knows how the rest of this year will turn out, but it's certainly been non stop hard work for me - and I'm not really getting close to being done. It's going to be work until I drop....
