My issue is that I don't know if she'll like/drink espresso and I don't want to invest in a $600 (or $400) espresso machine. For $79.00 I wouldn't mind upgrading later if this is a decent starter machine. And maybe it will serve her needs and she'll be happy with it...?

Ooh, that's pretty cheap. Would you guys recommend for somebody that wants to give espresso a go but doesn't want to drop $400? The wife has been interested and Mother's Day is coming up...

Damn, I don't drink espresso, likely only because I haven't had any good espresso, but these pics here make me want some.

TallDan for the win!

I just roasted 1/4lb of Monsoon Malabar that I picked up from the Green Coffee Buying Club. The description mentioned a peanut butter finish that I couldn't pass up trying, so I went for it. The beans are lighter in weight and color than any other beans I've seen, almost to the point of being...

Have you guys seen the new Behmor (not the black 1600)? I can't seem to find a link from Vimeo to share here....

And like Ice Cube says, "Don't get high off your own supply...". Oh wait,......

I saw a picture of that black one.....sexy!

On topic: I visited Mitch Steel's New Realm Brewery in Atlanta this week and had a couple of nice, clear IPAs. There was one NEIPA on the menu, but the mainstays are still West-Coast style clear! I have nothing against NEIPAS or those that want to drink them, as I've enjoyed quite a few myself...

I registered yesterday without a problem. Then my wife tells me that she wants to pass on this so at least I'm set up for the next offering. Thanks.

Can anybody get in on this? Just need to register on that site and pay the man or is there more to it?

The other day I roasted some of the PNG beans I got from @jammin. I took them just to the start of 2nd crack where my wife tends to like her coffee. I'll have to check my notes, but it was likely ~15% development time on this, then they rested for 3 days. This morning I made her a cup in the...

That's cool. My wife really prefers the chocolate notes in her beans, unless we're talking about Ethiopian where she really wants the berry notes. Me? I'm happy to have something smooth, rich and not bitter on the mornings when I do drink coffee. Out of curiosity, do you do cupping in the way...

Glad it helped. Mine was working for a while either and it wasn't until I checked that I realized it. Once doing that I ran a dry-burn cycle to help clean it/burn the oils off and it definitely smoked less afterward.

@pshankstar - I use the Behmor 1600+ as well. I started keeping notes on my batches so I know when to expect certain milestones - just for the reason you mentioned. For example, I generally roast 1/4lb at a time (so we have multiple varietals to drink) and since I preheat the unit to the same...

Entered, thanks!

I agree with @Inkleg's comment: The pallettes on y'all is downright amazing. And lest anybody think @jammin isn't just as generous....I received a number of local Idahoan beers with my beans, too. We tried the Havoc (a buddy and I) on Saturday night and it was.... different than what I normally...

I'll be curious to see what you get from it when you roast it in the manner in which you normally roast.

Sorry, yesterday was a busy day. The answer is.......Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Honey Processed. Here's the roast profile (on a Behmor 1600+):

Sweet, glad I could help!
