Cropster further states that when developing a new profile with the Predictive Roasting suite, roasters use fewer batches, lowering overall costs. This new feature joins Cropster’s Bean Curve prediction, which shows what temperature the coffee beans will be at in two minutes, and its First Crack prediction, which estimates when the bean will crack, beginning the chemical reactions that cause coffee bean aroma and flavour.Ĭombined with Flick prediction, roasters can now improve bean quality and consistency with a better ROI with green coffee investment. But there is, in fact, a modest correlation between DTR and roastiness every time one of those roasters showed me their ROR curves from the high-DTR roasts, their RORs contained flicks.”Īccording to Scott, it is the flicks, not the high DTRs that cause roasted flavours.Ĭropster’s new system sends a warning message to the roaster of an upcoming flick, giving them time to adjust the gas and airflow to prevent it occurring. We are a new local distributor of specialty & flavoured coffee beans. “Many roasters have told me that higher DTRs produce roasty flavours. 224 likes 1 talking about this 2 were here. Scott Roa, coffee consultant and author of The Coffee Roaster’s Companion says, “The flick may also mislead roasters in their understanding of how development time ratio (DTR) affects coffee flavour. This usually occurs at the end of a roast, usually after 16 per cent of development time and shortly after the first crack.Ĭropster says this flick can result an undesirable “roasty” flavour, causing the beans to lose delicacy. Richard Hards, 39, initially thought the crude. This suite forms part of the companies Roasting Intelligence program that also offers Bean Curve and First Crack prediction.įlick Prediction provides the ability to predict a ‘flick’ or the rate of rise (ROR) in bean temperature. Costa Coffee has been forced to apologise for stunning customers with a 'rude' advert urging students to 'flick the bean' to 'fuel wild nights out'.
