How to Roast Ethiopian Coffee With Horsham and Pikola - Part 2
This is the second of a series of two articles about roasting Ethiopian coffee. Previously, experienced roasters Dudley Powell and Lukas Komurka explained how they navigate the huge flavour potential of this origin and why profiling heirlooms can be challenging. Here, they’ll share roast profiles for Natural and Washed Ethiopian coffees, compare roasting in different machines, and control the heat as they approach the first crack in highly charged roasts.

The two roasters describe how their latest Tanzanian single-origins sourced through Algrano were customer favourites with nothing shy from the quality of Kenyan or Ethiopian lots, sustainable farming practices, a good shelf-life with a stable acidity until the last batches and an added bonus: outstanding synergy with milk.
