884g of Monsooned Malabar 1000g of Honduran La Central SHG (Strictly High Grown) The bit of extra green left over is going to be roasted and added to a little of this weeks MM and maybe some PNG Peaberry to clear up a few bag ends.

Dropped a kg of Jiwaka Peaberry to see how many get caught in the holes of the roaster drum and to use as a prop for a talk about coffee ??? Answer not to many :thumb:

After a long trip around this fine brown land of ours, the beans from Bean Green finally arrived, and I promptly roasted 700gm each of the Brazil Monte Allegre, Costa Rica La Pala, Sumatran Mandelhing Kuda Mas and the Ethiopian Sidamo Haile Selassie Naturals, to full city + for the restaurant and own consumption. Roasted in the mighty KKTO, all done in 2 hours easy. After a few days rest, i'm looking forward to trying it out. :thumb:

Well today I roasted 1.2Kg of Jeff's Harrar Longberry, 500gms is a leaving pressie for my wife's friend. Also roasted 600gm of that last of my Laos Dong Hua Sao (remember that one RM?). So that leaves me with 1Kg of beans to play with the new machine. That should last me a week eh? Both roasted into 2nd crack, and in 600gm lots, that's 3 back to back roasts. The KKTO never skipped a beat, and all 600gm roast hit 2C in under 20mins. Sweet.

Very excited about our new found blend: - Guatemala, PNG and the Peru - Cikay and I tasted it over the weekend and thought it was decent. - Waiting for the Peru to arrive (ordered from CS) and we'll roast another batch. We're hoping to reproduce a similar tasting result. Would anyone from Melbourne like to taste and provide some feedback?

Just roasted up a sample of Santo Domingo Barahona AAA (one A is never enough ;D ;D 😃) A.

Thanks. My little working lab setup. Very happy with and proud to have this. Small lots go out from the 5 kilo machine, full scale production from equipment not shown here but I was leaning on it to take the photo. The fancy 20 litre water tank over the cupping machine is disappearing as of this arvo....we've just finished installing a water connection to the bench.

Wow, that's like the ultimate roasting cave there mate! Nice!

lemoo

thats a sweet looking work area attilio wish I could find a roaster in perth that wouldn't mind showing me around a work area like that

FreshCoffee2

Appreciate the kind words. We're proud to take those who are interested into the area and show them around, and we sometimes do machine demos on the Junior Extra dual boiler that I use for espresso cupping. I think its a shame not to show people around, and you are not giving away any trade secrets in doing so. Its good for everyone and keeps the level of interest high. There's a nice bag of Colombian Peaberry there for a bit of interest next week. Cheers, A.

Today I roasted the last of my lucky dip Yemen. Went back to where I got if from last time but none in stock for a little while yet. Here's a pic of the 'shop' it came from:

With the sensational weather, beer in hand, bloke needs to roast 😉 Taking delivery of Brendan's pickings from his recent Rwandan trip, we'll see how it fairs in the Behmor. I did a 300g roast on 1IbP2C, with 1c @ 9:30 left and pulled it at 6:00min (suspect on the verge of 2nd crack). So that gives it a roast time of 15min 30sec. I'll crack the bag in 7 days and work from there! Jonty http://www.beangreen.com.au/product-info.php?pid215.html

And depending on the % of beans I siphon off Jonty will also be getting some Guat and Honduran COE's too 😃 For me I am lining up the dart board but I think the last of my MTE Bin 478 for Brew methods is looking good.

Yesterday I picked up a sample of a few kilos from Colombo, Sri Lanka. No idea of exactly what it is, but I'll roast it up and we'll see how it goes. It was graded and screened on the spot while I waited! I've had no experience with coffee from here before, so it will be interesting to give it a try. Here's a pic of some green in natural light, and a batch roasting for local consumption.

What a charmed existence you live mate... No doubt earned with talent and a lot of hard work! Kudos! Those beans look superb... Forrest floor tannins and all that... :thumb:

Borat, Where are you finding these places? It looks like fun anyway! I love the photos! It kinda blows my purchasing process (over the internet) way out the water. Happy roasting mate!

borat123

Forrest floor tannins - you should have seen the other beans I looked at before I found these.... You might call them the charcoal, rocks and floor sweepings blend! I'm lucky I get to travel with the job, so my employer helps contribute to my green bean hoarding 😉 Wherever I end up I just get in a tuk tuk and get driven around to see what I can find. These guys will nearly always get you to where the coffee is (eventually).
