The Problem: When roasting coffee, its important to have consistency and control in all variables of the roast, including the weight of the batch. Measuring each batch of green beans before roasting adds consistency to the roast, which equates to a better, more consistent cup. Finding the optimal weight for the type of roaster and type of bean you are roasting, ensures every bean in the roast batch will be roasted to the same degree as the next. A few under-roasted or over-roasted beans in a batch, and youll immediately taste the difference. An optimal and consistent batch size will allow the free-flow of beans during the roast, and provide an accurate baseline for an excellent roast.
