Rocks in green beans

shape_shifter

So far besides Jeffs Harrar (which obviously we all knew about) the only other bean has been the Ghimbi, only one so far and I found that after I had roasted the beans when I was cooling them before I used the popper to cool. I think I probably have a better chance than others seeing as I only roast such small amounts at a time. No idea what will happen when I upgrade, well either that or I just keep buying Jeffs blends ;D

I had a small rock in the Rocky. It crunched it before I could hit the off switch. Upon inspection with the lapidary visor there was no damage to the burrs so I must have gotten a very porous rock as opposed to something further up the MOHs harness scale. I am really careful about checking the greens before I roast!

I had a rock get into my Rocky too! All the years I have been grinding beans it was a first, and it really shocked me and worries me now. I do not roast, YET, but when I do vigilance will be the word to follow. Also, single dosing makes vigilance much more practical :-) Spotting a roasted rock, or worse (a finger?!!?! #%*@#) would be a much easier task.

I'm more cautious with some greens than others, but they all get a visual inspection. Sumatran Kuda Mas has always held some interesting surprises for me - including a chunk of concrete the size of about four beans!
