  • I agree with the comments here. Personally, the sweetest coffee I have tasted is natural processed Kaffa Anderacha, which managed to keep some sort of cherry flavor no matter which roast level. I think you might get a real feel for sweetness in coffee with a quality natural processed coffee from Africa. The only issue here is that it was pretty tart, or sour\acidic, which, to my understanding can be alleviated by having it a little darker roasted, but that might also degrade the cherry taste.












  • Batch 4. 100g for 12m at 52%. First crack (after 4-5 outliers beginning at minute 3) at 7m. Net loss of 15g (15%). I was aiming for a medium-er roast since the acidity was a bit much. Next time, I’m keeping everything the same, but I will try to use a lid and stir with occasional tossing motions for the first 3 to 5 minutes.



  • Batch 3. 100g for 15m 30s at 48% bumped up to 50% near the end. First crack began at 12m 30s, so my next batch will be done at least at 50% power. It’s a little more uniform. Net loss of 17g (17%). I found a comfortable and efficient agitation technique. My second batch was more of a medium roast and I feel like I lost some fruit and chocolate notes, so I’m trying to get back there a little while keeping a pleasant bitterness.



  • Second try. 50g for 9m at 55%. I let the pan preheat more thoroughly which threw me off. Next time I will heat at not more than 50% with the full preheat. Cracking started at 3m which was a little scary and unexpected. I stirred A LOT. Net loss is 10g (20%).

    Haven’t tasted this batch, but the original one feels optimal right about now. I just think the first batch is a little underroasted, so I’ll judge the next batch and see if that’s my new approximate color target.





  • In my experience so far, it’s the cheaper option. Most roasteries I can find can apparently not be bothered to communicate their roast dates. I think I know of a few places where I would be able to know it, but those places will sell me beans at 20$ per pound and more if I take a smaller amount, which I have to, because I don’t use it that fast. This all means expensive coffee that will stay in the cupboard or the hopper for up to 3 months, being really good mainly the first 2 weeks. Green beans I found are half the price, and I can roast whatever I need on a weekly basis. I assume you think it’s expensive because you would need to buy a roaster, but really, I bought a metal sieve from the dollar store and got started earlier today. It helps that I like to mix dark roast with light roast, so inconsistencies in my process will lead to something similar anyway. For now, I actually tried a rather good cup and it cost me 25 CAD and 10 minutes.




  • You can use an octo baloon shield instead of spending a rocket.

    You can parry the lasers but since they are continuous, you end up getting hit after the parry and you don’t reflect them back.

    The best damage combo once it’s down is to be at 1 heart or less with a molduga jaw knight’s claymore, Evil Spirit armor (Phantom Ganon) or Radiant armor (glow in the dark skeleton luchador), and attack lvl 3 food. This allows you to kill it in 1 cycle. I think the base damage of that sword is 128 displayed, the armor multiplies by 1.8 (cause the jaw is considered a bone) and the attack buff by another 1.5. This assumes the sword has the attack + modifier and is pristine.
