I'll add my thanks to @jammin for making this happen!

@jammin, PM sent!

In! I entered a while ago but forgot to come post. Current favorite hop is actually Strata. Thanks!

I've never thought of using PBW on the chaff tray either. I'll have to give that a try. If it's good enough for beer cleaning I assume it's good enough for this. Plus, I'm thinking that the dry burn cycle post-cleaning (after a thorough rinse) would take care of things.

It sounds like you are off to a good start. You've gotten some good feedback, but you've already latched on to one of the things that I think is most important - - a curiosity for WHY things are done. SO I commend you for asking now only WHAT to do, but WHY to do it a certain way. Just be...

Rookie espresso question: What does 1:3 and 1:2 refer to? Is that a coffee to water ratio? And if so...how the heck do you measure that when pulling a shot?

We've been playing the espresso machine all week. Look what we made! [emoji3] Clearly have a lot to learn, though. That Ethiopian that was so great in the Aeropress was harsh and bitter as an espresso shot. Based on what I'm reading, that's no surprise I guess. Most references I see say that...

I think I can easily solve this..... the first cup is her standard Aeropress while the espresso machine heats up. Problem solved!

That makes sense and the video is super-clear, thanks. The follow-up question is WHY take that off? What does that do (or prevent)?

After 2 more days of rest, my wife came out to my home office after having a cup and said, "Buy more!". Opening the jar the beans are in she said she was hit with the aroma of cinnamon roll, but the taste, for her, was comparable to the Banko (although we have none left). I just looked and it's...

Hey guys, a few questions now that we've used this a couple of times over the weekend: 1) What the heck is the ppf? 2) The manual on this sucks...in three different places it lists different warm up times - which is correct (or what do you do): Let warm up for 15 minutes? Let warm up just...

So the new Ethiopian......makes a damn good cup of coffee. My wife picked up some cocoa on the first few sips but as it cooled slightly she brought the cup up and said, "yay, blueberry!". It was present on the nose and taste. Not the BOMB that the Banko was, but definitely prominent. She's...

Agreed that this bean has a very aggressive first-crack. It's a nice change from some of the more subtle beans I've roasted recently. It will be tasted tomorrow.

Arrived as expected. Call me crazy but the beans have a fruity smell to them, along with the typical "green" aroma. I roasted 1/2lb in my Behmor to Full City so we'll see how they drink in a couple of days. ~15% development time for those playing at home.

Mine should be here today.

:D

When you buy coffee, you don't mess around with volume.

Good looking out, thanks for posting. I'm going to grab some of that Ethiopian, too. It may not be the blueberry bomb that the Banko was last year (or was it the year before?), but I'm betting it's solid and that's a great price shipped.

Cool, I pulled the trigger. It's Amazon and can always go back if she doesn't want/like it. Thanks for offering to send some tips, I'll be on the lookout.

Cool, I appreciate the input (from all parties).
