What Coffee are you roasting this week

Micheal i could not wait and had a little sample of the Yeman we roasted to who knows when but with lots of snappin It is a soft little bean (judging by the hand grinder ease) wants to run fast, had to up-dose with a fine grind to slow it down early days yet, but pungent earth with deep dark chocolate syrup is what I get, the Mrs says it tastes like apple crumple?? nice anyway What Machine are you getting?

That's the problem when your roasting, you get distracted talking and stuff 🙂 Can't say I heard 1st Crack, but loads of smoke, so I personally think they got pulled on 2nd Crack. Probably a bit early to be munching on them, but hey when your desperate! 😉 I'll let you know how my syphon brew goes, should be ready by the weekend. I bought a Nuova Simonelli Oscar, which is a HX machine. Getting it tomorrow and looking forward to having a play if I feel up to it. Not 100% at the moment 🙁

Congrats on the Oscar Lacehim. I too have an Oscar. Would like your opinion on yours. Perhaps we could start a thread on the Oscar. 😃

Nice affordable unit, good Idea to cut out the SS and the hot water who needs a hot water spout anyway, I never use mine. does it have an OPV? did you get a red one? where did you order from?

I reckon there'd be a lot of interest in such a thread. Like Silvia the Oscar is a tried and tested unit that still garners a lot of interest!

When you acclimatise or are in sync with yourself and the roaster you will be able to hear cracks from close of at a distance OR Clean the wax out of your ears :stir

Yesterday was a 2 kilogram roast to start the new year of.... 200gm Indian Elk Robusta 625gm Brazilian Allegre 625gm Colombian Bachue 625gm Sumatran Kuda Mas 625gm Honduras Minas all taken to first snaps of second crack for a friend. Today will roast another 2 kg for another. Roasted in the KKTO and coretto lidded 2 kg done in an hour. Beans from Bean Green. Bean cooler gave up the ghost due to old age and heat from the bucket affecting the operation of the blades. Time for bean cooler re-construction duties.

Today did a couple of roast from my BG delivery on the Behmor! 1. Mexican Triunfo Verde Coop, massive chaff thrower and I hope as the cupping notes say "Beautifully sweet with citrus and rich chocolate notes" come through! 2. I snagged 4kg of this gem as its been a while between drinks for me... Sumatran Gayo Speciality Organic... This is one super clean bean (on par with Wahana) and doesn't resemble a Blue Tak or a Kuda!!

Hi Jonty, the Mexican is gorgeous! My wife who likes chocolatey coffee loved it and it hit the spot for me also. Your right about all the chaff... There was so much of it in the KKTO cooling colander I resorted to doing the two colander and a fan trick to get rid of it! I never had much success with the Wahana but I think I may have been drinking it too soon. I remember tasting watermelon of all things. Go figure!
