Calling all Nucleus Link/Kaffeelogic Nano sample roaster users
I am seeking professional insight into optimizing sample roasting workflows using the Nucleus Link or Kaffeelogic Nano systems. After transitioning from an SR800 to implement more rigorous data collection, my objective is to establish an efficient protocol for evaluating new green coffee. I am specifically interested in whether established roasters utilize the machine’s auto-generated profiles (A–E) to establish an initial baseline or if a manual, custom-profile approach is preferred for sample analysis.
I initially started with the recommended dial in process but was not necessarily pleased with my results. Currently, my process involves running profile C with various development times to get an initial baseline. From there I can get an idea of the development I am looking for as well as the beans potential. Then I can start to branch out into other profiles using the data I collected as good starting points.
However, I still feel like I'm missing something and I'm hoping one of you can help me refine this sequence. I would value information on the most direct path to identifying a bean's peak flavor profile, while minimizing batch redundancy, and maximizing the utility of the Link’s precision controls.
