    How many pounds of roasted coffee in 2020

    Have forgotten to post my last few roasts. So catching up: There was also one batch today where Roast Time crashed, so that didn't get logged. That makes 105 lbs exactly for me, and 623.1 lbs for the thread.

    How many pounds of roasted coffee in 2020

    Yup. Makes roast day very convenient. I can do ~9 lbs in less than 2 hours, including setup and cleaning. With the Gene Cafe, that would have taken me literally all day.

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

    I got some of this as well, roasted over the weekend, and am also enjoying it. Did you notice that it likes a LOT more heat during roasting than other beans?

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

    We go through about 3 lbs/week, so I tend to buy about 3x/year. Roasting for me isn't so much about variety, but about the process, and about drinking coffee that doesn't suck. In order to do the latter, I can either pay $18-26/lb for somebody else to roast the coffee for me, or I can do it...

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

    Speak for yourself. I've only had one order in the past 3 years that wasn't 50 lbs. :D I've stopped ordering from Sweet Marias, and instead go to their wholesale arm, Coffee Shrub. They only sell in two sizes--50 lbs or 132 lbs. Ordering a 50 lb sack of Rwanda Nymasheke Cyato today, in...

    guidance needed for smoker recommendations

    Costco has an "online roadshow" that includes the Kamado Joe charcoal. Four 20lb bags for $80, with free shipping. I got a dozen bags the first time they offered it. I've tried over a dozen kinds of charcoal in my Big Joe, and this is my favorite by far. I've heard good things about B&B...

    Ordered the Bullet!

    So now that I'm about 1.5 months in, I think I'm familiar enough with the machine that I can start looking for tips on technique. All I've been doing so far is trying to keep the RoR around 10C as much as possible by bumping the power up/down when it drifts too far off. I have no idea if...

    How many pounds of roasted coffee in 2020

    Love love LOVE it. I roasted ~9 lbs yesterday in 2 hours, which would have taken me an entire day on the old Gene Cafe. And the results are SO consistent, even for a full Kg. So happy. Still trying to figure out proper profile/technique, I'll probably bump my purchase thread to solicit...

    Homemade PBW Recipe

    As others have said, you absolutely can use this. I've also had excellent results using real TSP rather than Sodium Metasilicate.

    Ordered the Bullet!

    So far I've only done a pound at a time (500g to be exact). I was under the impression that if you go the full 1kg it tends to stretch the roast time longer than is ideal. If this isn't an issue at all, I'll have even fewer batches to roast. :) Oh I did, went through 10 lbs of the Seasoning...

    You guys go and get me excited about the Konga, only to find out that they're out of stock except for 1lb bags. :(

    How many pounds of roasted coffee in 2020

    Got my Bullet R1 last week, so over the weekend I roasted 10 lbs of seasoning greens to get the drum ready for work, and then 5.5 lbs of Rwanda Nyamasheke Nyakabingo Station. For my own total, I'm going to include the seasoning greens, since I did actually roast them, even though they went...
