Hi Dan (nicely off topic) but I roast using a bread maker to agitate the beans and a heat gun directed into the bean mass. I have a thermocouple going from the bean mass to a lap top to chart the roast profile. For brewing, apart from a range of plungers, stove tops, drip' etc I have a FAEMA Due 2 group commercial and a Mazzer Super Jolly doser grinder and use a Greg Pullman tamper machined to my baskets.
Cheers
Haha this thread hasnt been strictly on topic for a while now.
Nice setup. I looked into doing similar a few years ago but mum had chucked her bread maker :p i then looked at a behmor benchtop roaster too. Too much time commitment!
i hope to upgrade to a similar espresso setup to yours one day, but my little gaggia classic refuses to die :rolleyes:
Cheers
Dan
Not off topic at all :) ...Disco owners are looking for the perfect caffe latte blend with some frilly flower design on top, while Defender owners simply want the classic straight up ristretto or caffe doppio, the crema of the crop so to speak :p:wasntme:
A Rocket and Mini Mazzer would be my ideal, but the old girl Rancilio Silvia and Rocky grinder 12 years old and still going strong...because they are built like a Defender!
My parents have coffee bean trees, and I went full caveman one year and processed my own beans.
After countless hours seeding them, and fermenting the pulp off, I tried to roast them in a popcorn machine. Without doubt it was the worst (and most time consuming) cup of coffee I've ever had.
I probably wouldnt have noticed - it all tastes like **** to me. I think Im the only shift worker at work who doesnt drink coffee :)Quote:

Makes great coffee though.
For those of us time-poor coffee lovers, I can highly recommend that you join CoffeeSnobs (CoffeeSnobs). In the BeanBay section, you can buy roast-to-order coffee.
I can highly recommend the Ethopian Harrar Longberry! ;):D
I am one of the few that hate the stuff as well:o:DQuote:

I love using the big commercial - 11 litre boiler. Great temp stability. Fantastic when the whole family is over and the hot water tap is the business for tea through the day.
I started using a modified popcorn maker with tin can chimney.
I have been on the Coffeesnobs forum for many years. That is where i get 90% of my greens. Thoroughly recommend it.
