I got into drip coffee as a way to evaluate my roasting in a slightly less evolved way than say a cupping. So I had no real expectations just hoped to reduce the chew in the brew and not have to grunt through all those sink shots on my espresso machine. I made some horrible brews until I got...
I am not sure it is related however I have roasted coffee from the same bag at different drop temps or degrees of roast and I can say that for me there is a point between medium and dark that just gives me gut rot tho not exactly the jitters. For me the jitters comes from mybrew process which...
I sense an experiment brewing...hahaha. I like your idea about sealing them just off roast/cooling. Might be easier to accomplish I was trying to think what a consumer bag or canister might be like. All I could come up with is that it would have to have some charger system....like Guinness.
Hey that sounds interesting .
In the Hoffman video Coffee mad man shared above it seems the evacuated canisters had the edge.
But you are positing that if the container was positively charged and, lets assume also oxygen free, that it may have the effect of delaying the release of VOC's and...
Never thought to try but I have certainly seen such things in the Tea industry. The Japanese are quite serious about how and what teas are stored in.
Personally I use clear glass Mason jars, which works pretty well as they are kept in a dark cupboard. Works pretty well and has easy access to...
So I didn't wear a lab coat or use and scientific apparati in attempting to confirm a gummy bear bias in ageing coffee. Hmmmm....well....Um...for me...definitively no. None of my coffee aged into gummy bear or at least not any gummy bear I have ever eaten. I did notice that darker roasts for...
Hey I had a similar reaction!!
However at the time I did have a light roasted sample of some greens I had purchased, which I was told had been discharged at 212 deg. C... so for me...blue-rare?? :D:oops::censored::LOL: and it did taste better after a month of trying to taste those lovely...
Can't argue the fact that roasting is different for everyone, which is a beautiful thing. For me I enjoy experimenting but I also like to gather opinions and techniques from others to test out on my equipment...sometimes they are bupkis but every once in a while I learn something really...
Such restraint! Hats off! I was wondering what other roasters felt about rest time, thanks for putting it out there!
I always have the best intention to let the beans rest for optimum which I have yet to settle on myself.
Mr. Rao says 10 days in one of his books for espresso...I do wait the...
I recently purchased a bag of Capi Royal green coffee to experiment with a robusta coffee. I roasted some to full city with the goal of using it for espresso. It has only been two days but I can't resist and have tried it in pour over and also a cappuccino today just to see what it might be...
Wow!...You have definitely earned the right to sneer at any such puny viruses, and have my unabashed respect.
Admittedly I did have to convert 8F as a Canuk but -13C is definitely cold enough to pucker the waddles of an angry Cassowary. Gives me hope that my unheated garage may be workable...
