    Roasting Center... An idea.

    Our roaster does not recirculate, just disposes of the exhaust so there is no effluent put back into the system of air flow. I noticed you're in the Bay Area. You're welcome to come and check it out anytime (Santa Clara). Cheers.

    Data Loggers

    Ours was written for NI as well. It's not as proprietary as the Omega stuff and we of course own and control all of the code so we have no dependence. Right now it requires only a thermocouple reader. We've set it up for either the Extech DA-15 or the NI 9211A. But the software is specifically...

    Data Loggers

    Can you download our data logger and see if our data logger works with your stuff? Actually, we'll make it work but I'm curious. No charge for the software. I'll give you a code to get by the trial period. www.freshroastsystems.com

    How many pounds of coffee are you going through..

    I'm thinking out loud here Tophie... Couple of things I'm not clear on and you might want to check your numbers because I think you might be misleading yourself and/or in need of evaluating end product. First, with 16 cups per 1/4 pound you get a 64 serving yield per pound. That seems...

    How many pounds of coffee are you going through..

    No offense Tophie but I've never seen a shop that was able to stay afloat with less than 300 pounds per month. How do you do it? EDIT: Oooops, one exception... a COE only type shop, but they average around $24 per pound and $5 per beverage...

    Ambex YM-2 roasting temps

    9-10 minutes for a light roast of four pounds? Should be right on. If you were going dark I'd say the 14 minute mark might be ok but at the temp noted I just don't think it can get there. As far as seeking consistency by playing with the variables.... Whoa! That's a job and a half. Think of a...
