I would recommend this roaster/supplier. I purchased green coffee beans awhile back and roasted myself. The quality of the green beans was exceptional. Great aroma and color. As stated above, true Kona is pricey...

A 50/50 blend of Harrar and Sumatra. Is a good replacement.

Neither of those grinders would be suitable for consistent grinding for espresso. They are very good for coffee grinding though. I would recommend the -Baratza Sette 30 AP Espresso Grinder for home use. There are many similar price espresso grinders to peruse online. Like any purchase it is...

It should also be noted that sour notes in coffee speaks often to under-roasted coffees. You mention SC at 13:14, do you have the temp recorded there? Also what was your dump/end temp? Understanding the Behmor cooling cycle, just curious about the end temp.

Awesome job guys. History in the now! The red paint looks beautiful and so evenly applied in the video. Hopefully some cafe will pick this up for a storefront application. The public would certainly enjoy seeing it in action. Thanks for the post! If I did not have 2 gas roasters already, this...

This may be your problem. Calcification on the water filler probe. If you decide to check it yourself. Make sure the probe is reset in the tank to it's original depth. I am not a technician, just backyard dabbler. I have an Astoria machine that had the same issue. Check this out. The first...

I use a stamp on a poly lined kraft bag. I purchased the stamp for a little under $60. with shipping. Not sure how it will work on a kraft laminate bag though. It took a little practice with a kraft shopping bag to get a nice print on the coffee bags. I use a black sharpie to identify the coffee...

Numbnuts! That is hilarious Alex! It has been ages since I heard that term. Now we are showing our age.

Maggie, the last post was 3 years ago.

I know my roaster is not so spiffy! Although it is not in a public setting. Truth is Rose, my wife will not let me have a dog, less of course it is an outside dog.

I don't know Greg. I think barbecuing is much more dangerous. Too many flare ups with the burgers and dogs. Not to mention those marinated chicken thighs!

Not sure about a conspiracy, but this is interesting reading...
