@Inkleg - i did 5lbs last night just goofing around for fun and it was a breeze. I am currently using B-vent (dbl wall) but the stuff MCR sells is exceptional. I really like it and although expensive, it really is what you need. Coffee roasters are unlike natural draft gas appliances such as...

had a nice roasting session last night & did a batch for a friend who wanted a dark roast. a strong medium is about as far as i could go but i am pretty happy about maintaining a nice, declining RoR:

you need to borrow my Ditting KF804. it's an absolute beast and has arguably the best filter grind available.

@TallDan - i hadnt looked up the current MCR prices in a while and I was surprised to see my TJ-066 (500g gas roaster) is now $5,000.00. There have been improvements such as attached cooling tray & integrated/ventilated cooling tray fan. There is also an onboard lamp for observing the sight...

MCR is extremely supportive with parts. Price for them is on the high but tech support is built into it for that reason. You can buy parts on the web from multiple sources for low prices. That roaster won’t lose a dime if you buy it. You could sell it 5 or 10 years from now for the same...

Step-up transformer which was included with the roaster. Draw for the gas model is very low.

Which should be noted is not like standard US 220v which has two 110v hot legs. Theirs is a single 208v line running at 50hz.

Fuel is fuel to me. It’s mesquite lump so you want to get a good, clean burning fire before you put food in the cooker. Some folks complain about the large chunks often found in their bags but I like the mix. They burn long and make for a good fire. Smoked this point with it on the BGE...

ha - ive definitely had that happen before. on my TJ, you reeeaaallllyy don't want to open the cyclone door with the fan cranked - it's like a chaff confetti bomb! i roasted those 2 ethiopian coffees last night and brewed them simultaneously this morning. 1 on the v60, & 1 on the wave. it's...

the notes are killer on this one. the 2 strikes are the sweetness @ 8.6 (low for a "90pt" coffee) and personally double A coffee for me is tougher to roast; the larger screen size beans can be tricky to slow down after 1C

The Sidamo “****erry” from GCBC? It should be here tomorrow. I’ll have notes on it by Sunday afternoon. Same for the Ethiopia Nansebo from SM’s (91.5pt allegedly)

^i think I have that same gear reducer for my MM3. Got sick of the pulleys slipping.

@applescrap its an ECX (Ethiopian Coffee Exchange) thing which is utterly confusing and ridiculous. not even worth trying to memorize that BS. it’s a good coffee and if I were scoring it I’d probably give it an 86 and Sweet Maria’s would probably add a cuppers correction of 2 & list at an 88.

I roasted some on Saturday and it’s OK. A decent, clean sweetness, milk chocolate finish & light berries mixed in. I’d say it’s bascually as advertised

@deadwolfbones - great shot, looks delicious

Ethiopia Sidamo (natural process) posted @ the GCBC. Berry notes are supposed to be easily detected in the cup with a light Blueberry that shows after a week+ of rest. I went in for 5lbs but I'm biting at anything that sounds interesting right now and roasting all sorts of sh|t to a find a...

Gotta feed the beasts

91.5 point Ethiopian posted @ SM’s today. Not a fruit bomb but I had to snag 5lbs. first 90+ coffee they've posted this year i think What’s everyone roasting this weekend? @TrickyDick sent me the last of his 2017 Kenya Nyeri Gathaithi that I'm looking forward to roasting again. The Ethiopia...

That Hambela Hassan is good stuff

Guji zone coffee posted @ the GCBC. Looks alright to me, grabbed 5lbs https://www.greencoffeebuyingclub.com/index.php?topic=21436.0
