002 — Guatemala Huehuetenango Unión Cantinil

Bean-specific notes

• Huehue is high-grown and dense; expect a slightly later FC than the Brazil at the same heat setting.
• Flavor goal beyond the level-default: cocoa with citrus brightness and a clean finish — don’t bake the acidity flat.

Today's playbook

Ambient ~91°F, drum already hot from Brazil — no preheat needed, skip step 2 from roast 001.

1. Let drum cool 7 min with door open. Empty chaff tray.
2. Weigh 227 g green into drum.
3. Insert drum. Select P5 / ½ lb, press START. Start phone timer.
4. Chopstick in door. Expect FC sooner than Brazil — residual drum heat speeds things up.
5. 75% shutoff — critical: press START when the display counts down 0:30 or it auto-cools.
6. Listen for FC — likely 9–11 min today. Mark time-to-FC.
7. Drop trigger: ~30s into development, before any second-crack snaps. Hit C.
8. Cool cycle ~10 min.
9. Weigh roasted.
10. Before Nicaragua: cool drum 7 min with door open.
