    Oooohh sounds nice. What sort of gear do you have?

    I have thought about roasting my own but have never had time.

    Cheers

    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 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

    Cheers

    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

    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've got a Rancilio Sivia ..... the bloody thing started rusting (frame) after a few months. They obviously don't make them like they used to.


    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!

    The Ms Silvia is a solid machine. Pitty about the rust. They typically sold it as a pair with the Rocky grinder. I have the Rocky grinder and converted it to stepless and tightened the burr carriers...made a huge difference but the Super Jolly is a fair way ahead when using a commercial group. 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.

    Cheers
