Hello, I am fairly new to roasting. The other day, as I was watching this crack process you all speak of frequently, it seemed as if some beans did nothing. So, I was wondering do all beans crack, maybe some more pronounced than others, or do some just lay there lifeless? (Jeez, some of these babies are like Mexican jumping beans). I have a HHI roaster, but I was not using it, I put some beans on a thin aluminum pie plate and watched the process thru the glass door. I was waiting for ALL of them to pop but when they didn't I realized the roast was getting too dark for my tastes. So, the important question is whether I should even be concerned about the crack thing at all, or just go entirely by color and then pull those babies out of the oven/roaster when they are how I like em? diyer |

Yemen's normally have a VERY soft crack -very difficult to hear sometimes. There's so many variables with coffee it is hard to generalize, but I would say that coffees with higher moisture contents have a delayed or muted crack, very dense coffee seeds (Yemen) do too, and old dried-out coffee has a loud crack and has a particluar sound I cant quite describe ... somehow its a bit obnoxious (foreshadowing the baggy tastes in the cup?) Oh geez, I can't explain myself today... Tom Hello, I am fairly new to roasting.
