Roast

Roast batch size

Also known as batch size · charge weight · carga · batch weight

What it is and what sets it apart: Not just “fill the drum”—different weight = different curve even with the same gas plan. Differs from charge temperature.

How it is done: Pick capacity % → weigh greens → retune gas/air → don’t compare curves across different charges.

Flavours and cup benefits: Stable charge = consistent lots. Overload = tip/scorch; underload = twitchy or baked profiles.

Technical notes: Respect machine range (often ~60–80% as a guide). Log kg with every curve.

Common mistakes: Do not change batch size without retuning. Do not equate 1 kg and 10 kg curves.
