What was everyone's top 3 coffee moments of 2019?
- favorite coffee?
- favorite brewing gadget?
- big "AHA!" moment in dialing in that perfect cup?
As far as popcorn popper, steel skillet or the oven, which gives the best result? I'm leaning away from the popcorn popper at the moment.
Also, I'm going buy unroasted beans and was wondering which supplier you think is best overall? I will not buy from anywhere but a supplier (no Amazon).
We just got a pound of freshly roasted coffee and there's a nice difference. I'm just looking for a bit of improvement.
Thank you!

I appreciate it since I have no previous experience.Regarding suppliers to buy beans.
A used a cast iron pot and heat gun along with my camp stove for a couple years, works well but very hands on. Look at the HGDB Heat Gun Dog Bowl it is similar and you probably have everything you need but the beans.As far as popcorn popper, steel skillet or the oven, which gives the best result?

Just from the basic info was that I'd only be able to do a small amount. Again, new, so I could be wrong. Intuitively, the popper seems a good substitute for an actual roaster.why are you staying away from the popcorn popper?
I checked out the HGDB method. It would be nice if I did, but I don't have those. Thanks for the info.HGDB Heat Gun Dog Bowl
I've been researching roasting on the cheap also and am leaning toward the popcorn method. I cold-brew a gallon at a time, using 160 grams of grounds. The air poppers can do 85 to 110 grams in a batch, so by that method I would have to do 2 batches. But they also require the least labor so 2 batches isn't a huge chore...Just from the basic info was that I'd only be able to do a small amount. Again, new, so I could be wrong.

You're right, not a huge chore, especially since I get into cooking/preparing things. My knee-jerk reaction was that I'd get a tiny amount but as long as I can swing a 2-3 days I'd be good. I imagine, once I get the timing down, I could even walk away for a minute.I've been researching roasting on the cheap also and am leaning toward the popcorn method.

I brew either at room temp for 12 hours or fridge temp for 24. It definitely pulls different flavors from the grounds but mostly I do it for medical reasons. My doctor told me I had to cut way back on my coffee acids. Cold brewing extracts 65% less acid so I still get to enjoy my cup in the morning.

As I said earlier, the air popper just seems like a good substitute.
With the cold-brew, do you heat it up? I'm more of a coffee rookie and one dimensional: Costco coffee, grinder, moka pot and hand-whipped milk.
thanks for the info.
That's good to know. I cold brew a gallon of tea at a time, just the apple cinnamon one. Not for any reason other than it doesn't have sugar but does have flavor. I drink it instead of so many other options that aren't healthy in large volume. Funny though, I think it's fabulous, but not a single person who's tasted it likes it. I buy out the shelf at Kroger all the time. I keep wondering if think it's super odd how they're selling so much of one type of tea.Cold brewing extracts 65% less acid s
Wait? What?? You can roast on the cheap??? I must have been out sick that day.I've been researching roasting on the cheap
The thoughtfulness is always appreciated. Lots of helpful people here. Right now, I'm looking for the highest powered popcorn popper on the market. I do not own a heat gun but I do have two light sabers, one still in the package and one off of e-bay. Was that funny? Sometimes it's hit or miss.ust thought I would put it out there
...so when are you running a split on some El Salvador coffee?Wait? What?? You can roast on the cheap??? I must have been out sick that day.
Had a little time on Sunday to get Phidget connected play with Artisan and watch some temperature readings on the new roaster. Still have to exit with the exhaust. This Saturdays booked I'm hoping for Sunday.
On a small world note. The new tech they hired and I'm helping train is from El Salvador. We were talking about pets and as he's scrolling through is phone and I see something. "Whoa.....back up. Was that a Probat sample roaster?" Is eyes get wide and asks me how I know that as he scrolls back. Long story short. He has a Behmor at home and has friends that have coffee farms in El Salvador. I'm making him coffee in the morning and we're talking coffee.

I ordered 10 lbs of the Nicaragua Dipilto Monte Libano last week, it should be getting delivered today, and just now ordered the dry process Buenos Aires. Should have probably ordered it with last week's order...but like some other members here....the expectations of coffee to deliver on a blueberry flavor are exceptionally high!!! (Thanks to @jammin) and most beans have fallen WAY short on that promise! LoL!!!
