yes, son?

Fun Brazilian posted @ SM's. Dry Process Yellow Bourbon. Something about that particular varietal that tends to make a good cup every time i have it. I don't need any coffee right now but a good brazilian like that is always scarce when i need it (espresso!). Hmm.. Brazil Dry Process Pedra...

Had my first roast session of the year today & had a small snag as well. The front pillow block for the drum bearing got loose. 5mm hex & a couple turns fixed it up quickly. I started out with a zero gas heat setting when I bought this roaster years ago. The theory was to start out using...

@Ruint - fantastic work! it's incredibly satisfying to complete a deep cleaning of your roaster. brings a great deal of pride & a sense of joy for keeping your equipment in top shape. makes a big difference in performance & longevity - great job! @TallDan sounds like we run a similar...

I brew a 24oz Chemex every morning for my wife & I with the Able Kone. I use the Baratza Vario-W with steel burrs as well for the morning pot. I love nearly everything about that grinder, especially the grind quality & weight based dosing. The grind adjustment system though however is awful...

As always, the price is above avg. at Roastmaster's but a nice sounding Ethiopian Natural: Ethiopia Gedeb Wuri Natural Grade 1 Cup Characteristics: Rhubarb, blueberry, red grape, thyme, cocoa. Milk chocolate aroma. Sustained flavors with some citrus zest as a background note. Acetic acidity...

THANK YOU for mentioning me here. Great place to start my 2020 coffee resolution:mug:

that mean you’ll get back on your meds & (fingers crossed) take a long break from the internet?

one thing I was pondering last night about capturing my 2020 year in roasting is a Artisan graph compilation. It would be neat to see every single roast overlaid onto a single chart. One could really see how their roast profiles averaged out. that’s kinda how I’ve gauged it, too. I’m guess...

You guys have given me my 2020 New Years Resolution - keep track of how many pounds of coffee I’ve roasted. I’m gonna add on types as well:mug:

last roast of 2019! life has been moving quick over the last month & i was down to about 2 cups worth of beans in the hopper. can't believe it has been 3 weeks since I roasted! finally fired up the roaster for last session of 2019. decided to fall back on older approach/profile & charged...

that sounds AMAZING!

eye cupping is generally an exercise in futility but at a glance, I would concur.

Made myself a White Chocolate Latte this afternoon. Grabbing some things @ the grocery store today & noticed some nice packets of hot cocoa mix and figured they'd work to scratch that itch(I get 1 pumpkin spice latte at *$ every year but they ran out before I checked that box). Usually the...

there was a little NY style pizza joint we all loved in college. the owner said he had his water flown in from NY to make the dough, etc. stated that the water was 100% key in getting the taste right. always thought that was cool. im still adjusting to life after water softener. haven't...

I enjoy an Affigato now & then. It’s a lot more fun to pull the shot right over the ice cream but it melts the stuff instantly. First world problems...

Anyone buying this "Intense Blueberry & Blackberry" line? I feel nearly powerless from ordering 5lbs...

@applescrap - great post! Really enjoyed that. I roasted a great deal of coffee this year & Ive been thinking back on lately while brewing/drinking my morning cup. Not in terms of volume, but variety of Lots. Fav coffee: Ethiopia Natural Sidamo Oromia. This was an organic coffee imported...

It's look great, @Inkleg ! That venting looks like some extremely high quality stuff. I hope to upgrade to that someday. You're right about the roaster being quiet, I had a similar experience when i first received mine. Ive been looking forward to an update from ya - glad to hear you're...

good to see all of cape's e-fangirls are still smitten. y'all are a strange, errrr, uh faithful bunch.
