New roaster here with only about 2 pounds experience. I realize times vary by type of roaster, bean, etc. But what should I target for first crack time and total roast time on a Whirly pop for Full City Roast?
My roasts are even, and coming out at about Vienna or slightly darker, with first crack at about 5 minutes and total roast time of about 7 minutes. I'm roasting 8oz at a time.
The coffee tastes ok, but not great, and I would prefer a Full City Roast. I cant tell when second crack starts, so I am thinking I am roasting too fast.
The Whirly pop I have looks thin and flimsy compared to other pics I have seen. It feels like thin aluminum, definitely not stainless steel.
Thanks alot
Chris
