Those Yirgacheffe are excellent! I have some of the Indonesian that I haven’t got around to roasting yet but I am really hoping it isn’t anything like the Sulawesi I have.

Still can’t get rid of it at $350 shipped? No takers? Counter offers? It is just collecting dust right now. Someone needs to use it!

You may have pressed out all of your gases while forming the dough ball. This recipe says not to deflate the dough. Typically I would expect a no knead recipe to be less impressive though because kneading is what builds up the structure in the gluten and allows it to trap gases inside which...

Indonesia Sulawesi is gross...just found that out. I started with a medium roast and it tastes and smells like tomato juice. I re roasted to about a French roast level and it tastes like Starbucks. Robust ash tray. I might just use this for espresso. Oh yeah I missed the espresso machine...

I use a popcorn popper but I start with it really hot, add about 300-350 grams and roast on full heat “7” for about 9 minutes or until they start to brown, then I turn my heat down from the 7 setting on my stove to the 5. First crack usually starts around 11 minutes and I will go about a minute...

Will the popcorn popper method still work on an electric range?

I would do $350 shipped if you want. That is just the kettle with element and controller though. I can’t ship the car boys for that price since they would each have to be individually packed.

I estimate $76 shipping for the kettle shipped to port Chester New York. If I can find a way to put the controller in the same box without damaging anything I can do that and the shipping shouldn’t be much more than what it is to ship the kettle.

So I guess that would mean that my near 12% developed Ethiopian is really a light roast? It looks closer to medium roast to me. In fact I was afraid that I over roasted them when I did it. I really don’t care for dark roasts though unless I am using it for espresso.

I would but it will probably be very expensive. Do you know a way to ship something that large for cheap?

I still have the fermentors and electric brew rig. I’m down to $325 for everything. Anyone interested?

Well let me know if you decide to sell.

I have been thinking if I can sell my electric brew rig I might get a behmor

How much?

So I couldn’t wait. I went home at lunch and brewed up some of the Ethiopian beans in my French press and holy guacamole that is some good coffee! Super smooth, fruity, a little bit of chocolate, a little roast. So good! I gotta stock up on it. Nobody else buy any! It’s all mine!

I like light roasts the most but haven’t been able to pull it off. Every one I have done still tastes green and makes me feel sick LOL.

Sorry for my ignorance but can someone please explain the development to my dumb ass. What does the percentage of development tell you when you are looking at a timer like this?

The Ethiopian beans were a little tricky. They are small, kind of like pea berry. They took a really long time in the yellow stage and I used full heat for most of the roast. They smell noticeably different from any other bean I have bought. Even green they smell kind of like cherry pipe tobacco...
