Sure was. I am now resisting the urge to get my roast on but I have enough to keep me going for around a week and a half so maybe on the weekend.

Sounds like a good plan. 🙂

It's the sensible thing to do, still tempted though 😛.

Glad they're good mate. Last time I had the they weren't a patch on BeenGreens Monsooned Malabar Gold which were 3/5 the price at the time. Not the suppliers fault of course, these thing are seasonal crops and wild variations can exist between the same harvest at the came co-op. Enjoy!

I couldn't help myself, I roasted some of the EH 😛. First crack seemed to go on forever, I THINK I cut it just at the start of second crack. The result is dark, oil coated beans with divots. Very little chaff. Regardless I am going to make a brew with them in a bit and see how they are.

Hi all!, I am new to the forum and social media in general. I am wondering what home roasters people recommend and why? Any help would be much appreciated. I have used the Behmor 1600plus before..... anyone used the Gene Cafe? Cheers!

Hi mate Welcome! Click here to take you to the appropriate page: http://coffeeforum.org.au/home-roasting-all-about-the-culture/ You could start a new thread but I'm sure the info is there.

I forgot to report back. They are the first lot of beans I have had to bin. Say no more :🙂.

Part of the joy is knowing that you're saving money by home roasting therefore the experimentation/mishap roasts are part of the fun as opposed to a fiscal disaster. Moreover, I've thrown out roasts from professional roasters although never ever one from the Pros associated with this forum!!

Thanks Brett! I'll post my question there. What roaster do you use if you don't mind me asking?

Hi mate, my preference is for the KKTO but for smaller fiddly batches I use the Behmor.

I think I have another Monsoon failure on my hands this morning lol.

Thanks Brett! appreciate the input. Not sure if you have seen Behmor's new roaster but it looks like some decent improvements have been made from the 1600plus, thought it may interest you. Cheers!
