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

    highly recommend using oxygen absorbing inserts and Mylar bags if you intend To keep for very long. the Vac seal bags on the rolls might Be ok, I haven’t used them.

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

    You are probably good then. When I did mine, I had a huge surplus of greens that were old and getting older. plus I already had the vac sealer for doing hops with In Mylar pouches. Some of my greens have “perked” up a bit from being in the freezer. I am not sure why, but the previously muted...

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

    That is what I do, Mylar bags (no condensation inside and airtight), a “snorkel” type vac sealer, mine is sinbad brand or something like that, and also get a bag of those oxygen absorbing packets, which I figure can’t hurt so long as you don’t accidentally dump into your roaster, lol. Pre...

    I’ll have to do a before and after photo and post. Maybe tonight. I had just cleaned it before roasting three 1lb roast over the weekend. Will try to remember. might be worth the investment if it saves you time. Maybe could run it less than 30 minutes and would probably be good to go. by...

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

    I think the ultrasonic cleaner in combo with the PBW was where the magic happened. Plus it heats the solution. 30 minutes and it’s sparkling clean. My cleaner unit is the one from Hornady. You do have the larger chaff insert? The original is tiny, like a small dome, and they later revised it...

    Perfect! Thanks for sharing! I can follow along. Are you using Artisan or the aillio software? long been wanting to get back to using artisan and getting the 3rd party automatic 1C detection working ( found some software someone posted on another forum, but was never able to get it to...

    Hate the muted 1C sounds. usually get with tiny greens or greens that have been sitting in my basement too long. By the way, what is your personal Bullet 1 pound Ethiopian dry process roast like? I have a feeling my roast is progressing too fast, especially the drying phase, usually always...

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

    Today was my first ever pre-emptive efforts to keep my greens fresh. I had done this back when I was way overstocked, but that was AFTER the green beans had been sitting out too long and started to notice serious muted 1C sounds. Mylar vac seal with oxy absorber divided into 1# parcels and...

    That’s pretty cool achievement! how much did the ninja coffee brewer cost?? I’m going to experiment with using the gold filter basket vs paper and different brew temps for my Ethiopian. I had nice filter bed but noticed this morning after letting it sit a long time on some commercial coffee...

    Sorry for goofing up the sideways photo. Think I’ll stick to drip or use a real pour over setup like my Kalita Wave or Clever for when I want to try. I do think I’m going to dial brew temp back to 198 though for my Ethiopian coffee (95% of what I drink)

    Well maybe not exactly like that but here is the manual.

    So new Behmor Brazen 3.0 arrived today. Looks identical to my old one. Manual suggests brew water temp 197-199 for African natural bright city city+ fruity and island coffee types 203-205 for darker roasts and other origins. interesting. May have to do some experimentation. their website...

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

    Been adding an extra "cup" of water to the reservoir on the Technivorm to account for the retained water. Seems to have helped. Tomorrow is last day until the replacement Behmor arrives. #applescrap - Do let me know what your thoughts are about brewing temps for Ethiopian natural. That is...

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

    As far as the Ninja review, yeah, I read it, sounds like a nice machine. I only brew black coffee and don’t make other things, so a lot of the features I wouldn’t use. id do French press every morning if I had the spare time and skip the machines, but I don’t have the time. Drip convenience I...

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

    SCA cert is meaningless to me. My technivorm was at one point the only SCA certified, but it has ****** water delivery design as I detailed. Impossible to hit the marks or tune a brew on the UBC because it’s so erratic. A well built machine is all that matters to me and if it can reproduce...

    That’s why I got the 220v Bullet. Don’t think that they have released the upgraded power module for 220v yet to take full advantage of it yet.. anybody hear otherwise? $129 shipped for the new Behmor Brazen 3.0. Can’t pass that up. overall been very happy with everything about the Brazen...

    Which is why I bought the 220v Bullet. Still waiting for the new 220v power board that will allow me to take advantage.

    I quit Facebook also, but haven’t deleted my account. I have been on that page you are talking about and agree lots of knowledge there. I think that it’s a double edged sword for me: higher capacity on bullet means I can make more at once, and spend less time roasting. Less capacity on...

    Good to know. I‘m roasting on my bullet, but I wish I had my HotTop back but with 1lb capacity. Still learning on the Bullet and been some years….. back to the drip brewer question. Anybody have a favorite? I’m leaning to the new Behmor Brazen. Hoping they give me a discount cause my older...
