    ☕ Coffee ☕: Ingredients, Roasting, Grinding, Brewing, and Tasting

    Anyone try any of these recent SM offerings?? I picked up a few pounds each but haven’t yet roasted them. One “problem” with the bullet roaster larger capacity than my HotTop is that I end up roasting led frequently, which makes my roast skill and learning curve poor because I only end up...

    Jammin started it (per usual). LOL! Hard to find the time to go shooting, and can’t put a backyard range in. Been thinking about the pellet option. A buddy of mine in Massachusetts has practically no other option and I’ve been impressed with the performance he’s claimed. Nice to see it’s...

    Lookie what I won! Haven’t had chance to use it yet. Won it and the platform it mounts on (M107A) in a raffle last year with a single $100 ticket. Coffee roasting isn’t the only rabbit hole

    Riptide vs. Chugger pump

    Awesome news!!! I was just thinking what the lead time would be so as to timing to sell my chugger pumps, ya know, because Black Friday sales be here soon! TD

    That growler is a PITA to clean let me start off with that. Need to clean it after every use, not just a rinse. Parts are expensive (seals etc) unless you know precise size to order from McMaster. I don’t think it’s truly double insulated like advertised, but I could be wrong. Bottom line is...

    Riptide vs. Chugger pump

    Question regarding the pump head assembly. I have two custom chugger pump heads with TC fittings on inlet and outlet (no threads to clean). Still need to occasionally disassemble to clean the wort pump out though. I love the QUIET running riptide after hearing one recently. Does anyone know...

    I’ll have to look into this once I am back from vacation. $10/lb a bit too steep for me though. But on second thought, could be a nice way to pad my PayPal account with group buys...

    Royal crown jewel kenyas and Ethiopian are like $10/lb !! But free shipping LOL! I’d be good for up to five pounds on one or a mix even of these if anyone else is interested in a group buy. The Guatemalan RCJ sounds most intriguing to me though (and cheaper).

    I roasted one pound of three I bought. I must not have done a very good job and was not highly impressed. I think I often do not let my coffee rest long enough and it’s gone once it’s at its sweet spot.

    Burundi write up sounded good so I bought two pounds. Paid almost as much for shipping. Hate that.

    ☕ Coffee ☕: Ingredients, Roasting, Grinding, Brewing, and Tasting

    Thanks for the heads up! I’ll check out the Burundi. Not typically a huge fan of Burundi, but might be I pooched the roast on the one time I had some. Don’t you need to order 22# lots on the royal crown? Do you need a special account? I’ve not had theirs other than the special selection you...

    ☕ Coffee ☕: Ingredients, Roasting, Grinding, Brewing, and Tasting

    Down to only 6 pounds of green coffee on hand, time to start looking. Anything good? Maybe should wait until my upcoming travel plans/vacation is over. Anything really good out there now? Any blueberry bombs? Any super Central American beans? Did my first batch of Guji natural Guracho...

    Have heard folks say hard to get uniform roast throughout the dense beans for the AA and smaller AB heat penetrates more evenly than the AA. Not sure if there is any proof to that or not. Sounds like awesome coffee! Keep us posted, and more importantly, any potential group buys!

    I think that there are USB hubs for USB C machines that will allow legacy USB connections.

    Nice! K.I.S.S. If it works, and I’m sure it does, then the less effort involved the better. TD

    So anybody get a chance to try that Hanghadi blueberry bean yet? Feeling like that scene in ren and stumpy history eraser button trying not to get too far ahead of my greens supply vs consumption ....
