I finally got around to roasting this last week and have been thoroughly enjoying it. The blueberry definitely comes through heavy in the aroma but does manage to also show up on the tongue as well. Not the most blueberry forward one I've had, but honesty probably the most complex of them...

Just totaled my roasting numbers for the year, I roasted 214.5 Lbs in 2022. Oddly consistent with the last few years: 2022: 214.5 lbs 2021: 205.5 lbs 2020: 220.5 lbs 2019: 140 lbs

Work blocked hbt from my computer (along with bass pro shops, binnys, and nearly every other hobby related website I visit...) so I've struggled to come on here. Thanks @pshankstar for refreshing the thread! Tis the season over here. Annual Christmas Blend, with a combination of a South...

I'm thinking I had the same issue with the tabs breaking, a long time ago. Come to think of it, once I changed the holder it was indeed noticeable how much better the coffee was. Always a good excuse to get into the grinder and deep clean it, anyways.

@pshankstar There's a reason I didn't mention it to you jokers about it until I got my order confirmation! ;)

I'm hoping this is a blueberry bomb without specifically calling out "bomb" (though subtly implying it a bit?). 10 lbs headed my way, I'll report back after I've tried it. It's been a looooooong time since I had any blueberry bombs...

Just placed an order for greens, and I'm starting to see increased coffee prices. The same beans I bought last year are up anywhere from 10% to 25%. Same bean, same supplier, just a new year. I had a feeling it was coming but was hoping it wouldn't be that large of an increase. I sell bags on...

@Minky you may be able to vent your Behmor if you want to work at it a bit. I had rigged one up a while back when I had mine. While I don't have any pictures of exactly what I did, I found a couple other pictures that'll give you the idea. Essentially I took of the back/top vent cover piece...

I know I've posted about roaster exhaust before but I'm going to mention it again. I changed the filter to my inline fan the other day, and this is how dirty it is after 3 lbs. Just 3 lbs!!! Do what you need to do when you're roasting, but do take care of your lungs too. That said, I've got...

Oh, it's a blend. It's crap coffee roasted dark and labeled different blends but it all tastes similar - like roasty coffee. One of their descriptions, "for this blend we sourced one of the most unique beans we've roasted to date: a naturally grown, honey processed, Castillo varietal". Read...

Someone bought us some coffee as a gift, it was a nice thought. It's from a roaster I hadn't heard of but I guess is known. Did not expect much, but was really disappointed by the quality of the beans - I had a few beans fall out of the bag and only one was a whole bean. Same thing happened...

Ordered from Mill47 a few months ago. They ship their beans in these little boxes, really horrible method, lots of beans escape or are too tough to get out of the box. They also don't store well, at least not in my system since all other people I buy from use bags. Oh well, coffee was fine but...

Man have I been awol from this site. Anywayyyssss... Today I pulled my first shot of espresso in probably over a year - went with India Mysore Nuggets and it produced a delicious shot. Even though the Gaggia has been sitting idle this whole time, it didn't miss a beat. Gotta make a habit to...

Appreciate the info @Ruint ! That's good to know

Hey @Ruint thanks for the info! I'm going to dig a little deeper on these to see what I can find about replacing burrs because I have a feeling the ones I'm seeing at those prices probably need a little tlc. Do you use yours for every day use or more for grinding for others?

I need some grinding input. I grind coffee for a few of the people who buy beans from me (despite my suggestions they'd be enjoying fresher coffee if they just bought a $50 grinder!). Oh well. So where I'm at is, I'm thinking of getting a commercial grinder, like a Bunn Grinder. This would...

@pshankstar I'd be down for that if it works out timing wise for me! I usually buy beans every three or so months to save on shipping, so if it happens to coincide with a purchase for me I am definitely down.

@TallDan I don't have any descriptions but I'm going to message them back and ask for a bit more info. I'll share anything I get with you all here in case anyone is interested. I went ahead and placed my order at Mill 47. First time purchaser, excited to see how these taste. Some of these...

@pshankstar your posts inspired me to check out Mill 47 for the first time. I was going to buy some from Sweet Marias, but their selection wasn't really doing anything for me. Then I get to Mill 47's website and wow what a nice change of pace. Much easier to read, cleaner appearance, and more...

Just counted my 2021 roasts, I roasted 205.5 lbs in 2021. -Looking back, in 2020 I roasted 220.5lbs so I was down a little bit. -I think part of this was due to the roaster issues I had last winter when I was kind of out of commission for about 2 months and couldn't roast for my "customers"...
