Roast profile

Roasting Profile - Ecuador Typica Anaerobic Washed

This Ecuadorian coffee underwent mucilage fermentation and was subsequently washed, which highlights the washed characteristics in both the roasting process and flavor profile. The sweetness is prominent, and while the acidity is not as bright as other washed coffees, the citric notes are the most noticeable. Given it is a 2022 crop, there may be some expected decline in flavor intensity.

The roast profile was designed considering the origin (South America, Ecuador), the washed processing method, and a medium-light drop temperature. To achieve the desired profile, I set the gas pressure to a high level to bring out the bean’s unique characteristics.

For more information on adjusting your roast profile, you can refer to the FireScope website blog or my personal blog.
