🎉 Wrapping up the Top 10 at KPC Station #4! 🏅☕ A huge shoutout to the talented roasters who claimed 7th to 10th place—your innovative roasting techniques truly amazed us! Here's how they roasted their way to excellence:

✨ 7th Place: Lee Ka Hou Hou – Overdose Kitten Kitten
"My first batch was lighter than planned. After cupping, I adjusted to prolong the Maillard and development stages, enhancing caramelization and bean expansion. The second batch aligned perfectly with my goals."

✨ 8th Place: Vincent Wong .soon.wong
"I aimed for gradual heat progression, maintaining a Rate of Rise (ROR) between 20-23 until the first crack at 182°C. After testing several post-crack intervals, 1:20 proved optimal, creating a consistent, balanced cup with the help of precise Agtron measurements."

✨ 9th Place: Yap Qi
"This washed Mexico coffee was medium-density and medium-moisture, so I opted for a quick roast profile. By shortening the yellow and cinnamon phases, then lowering the heat post-crack, I achieved vibrant acidity, caramel sweetness, and a rounded aftertaste."

✨ 10th Place: Chun Wei Wei – Kafei Kongsi Kafei Kongsi
"I extended the drying stage and roasting time by lowering the charge-in temperature and aiming for an 80°C turning point. With a 1:20 development phase and an 8°C increase, I highlighted brown sugar sweetness while preserving the bean’s character."

👏 Incredible work, Lee, Vincent, Yap Qi, and Chun Wei! 🌟🔥 Your passion and precision shone brightly in this competition.

👏 Let’s give a big cheer for our 4th to 6th Place winners at KPC Station #4! 🏅☕ Each of these talented roasters brought their unique strategies to the table, and the results are nothing short of amazing. Here’s a glimpse into their roasting magic:

🌟 4th Place: Phang Hooi Ping Phang from Creator Roastery
Phang’s Roasting Tips:
"I used high heat before the first crack, then lowered it afterward, ending the roast 1 minute and 13 seconds after the first crack. My goal was to enhance acidity, body, sweetness, and the regional flavors that make this coffee special."

🌟 5th Place: Angela Choo from 20grams Coffee Roastery 20Grams Coffee Roastery
Angela’s Roasting Tips:
"We used a soaking method by starting with low heat until 115°C, then ramping up to high heat for the rest of the roast. This approach ensures inner bean clarity and outer color harmony. A 10:11 total roast time and extended development of 1 minute and 25 seconds created a transparent, sweet, and balanced cup."

🌟 6th Place: Jerry Thor Thor from Wells Cafe cafe 井井咖啡
Jerry’s Roasting Tips:
"With this coffee’s low sugar and flat terroir flavors, I extended the Maillard reaction and development time to unlock deeper and more complex flavors in the cup."

👏 Amazing work, Phang, Angela, and Jerry! 🌟🔥 Your dedication and creativity continue to inspire us all.

👏 Congratulations to Billy Kia , our KPC Station #4 2nd Runner-Up! 🥉☕ Billy’s analytical approach and precision in roasting have led to a cup bursting with flavor and complexity.

Billy’s Roasting Tips:
"Using a high-density washed Mexico coffee, I began by analyzing its moisture (11.5%) and density (800g/L) with the Lebrew Aquadense device. I roasted with high initial heat to manage moisture during the drying phase, gradually tapering it down to preserve sweetness and acidity. The total roast duration was 9:17 minutes, followed by post-roast sorting to ensure quality."

Well done, Billy! 🌟🔥 Your dedication and attention to detail are truly impressive.

👏 Huge congratulations to Makhzumi Mustaffa MAGNETISM, our KPC Station #4 1st Runner-Up! 🏅☕ Makhzumi's impressive roasting techniques and understanding of bean characteristics have earned him this well-deserved recognition.

Makhzumi’s Roasting Tips:
"I used high heat to handle this high-density washed Mexico coffee, starting with a strong charge and intense drying phase. Afterward, I slowed things down, completing the roast in 8:45 minutes with a 45-second development time to achieve a sweet, balanced profile with notes of malt and plum."

Fantastic work, Makhzumi! 🌟🔥 Your expertise truly shines through in every sip.

👏 Congratulations to Jeffrey Ang Ang from Creator Roastery , the well-deserved champion of KPC Station #4! 🏆☕ Jeffrey’s exceptional skill and dedication have earned him this top spot, and his roasting approach is as impressive as the results in the cup.

Jeffrey’s Roasting Tips:
"For this washed Mexico coffee, I started with higher heat before the Maillard stage and first crack. Then, I extended the Maillard stage by lowering the heat to bring out more sweetness. Before and after the first crack, I reduced the heat again, ending the roast 1 minute and 20 seconds after the first crack."

Your precision and creativity have roasted your way to glory, Jeffrey! 🌟🔥 We’re thrilled by your outstanding performance. Cheers to your success and even more flavorful journeys ahead!
