Bourbon / Washed

Our Acatenango coffees usually tend to be pretty dense and compact. They ‘like’ more aggressive energy at the beginning of the roast compared to many other coffees, given that you want to achieve a similar roast time. Watch out for significant RoR crashes after the first crack – make sure you go into the development time phase with a relatively high energy as well.

Please note this is a general, not a specific tip. Each coffee tends to behave a bit (or a lot!) differently and should be approached individually. We highly recommend working with a colorimeter machine. Your local data, depending on your grinder, grind size and the way you prepare coffee surface for measurements, will be the most precise tool for your QC routine aside from cupping.
