Like this TurboCrazy

I have a TC setup (a few actually), and I get a nice controllable roast. I sometimes use a BBQ setup or my mobile Zach and Dani's, but I can roast ~3lbs at once.

:thumbsup: awesome there's another Home Roaster.

:thumbsup:

I'd previously noted that our epicurean interests are similar.

I am looking forward to trying it out and after ebay my total investment is about $65 including a sampler from Sweet Marias so I figure even if I can't get something I'll like it's still been fun

That was about mine as well. I think I paid ~$30 for the Stir Crazys as I bought them retail, and I ended up getting the convection ovens for about ~$40 each on eBay. Not a bad investment!

My wife and I are a depot location for our Organic CSA, The farmer comes with a truck of vegetables and we dole it out to subscribers... I've been idly thinking of selling 1/2 pounds to some of the members if I produce anything worth selling....

That is awesome. I'm very much a supporter of organics, and I participated in a local program that does something similar.

I put together some blends and roast them for family and coworkers, and I think my favorite blend is as follows:

1 part Kenya AA roasted to about full city
1 part Sulawesi roasted to about full city+
1 part Monsooned Malabar roasted to about full city+

I sometimes substitute the Kenyan for Yemeni if I want that flavor. I drink mostly espresso though, and I find the rather simple blend to be almost perfect for me.

I have a Ronco Showtime Rotisserie that I could convert with some better heating elements or I might go the gas grill BarBQ

That could produce some nice results. I'd love to see the setup if you get something like that going...

 

[aircooled]

Dark Roast

(Sumatra, French, etc...)

we all know the correct response is 'i like my coffe like i like my women... ground up and in the freezer'


and btw, im an any type of coffee with sugar and cream, or doubleshots of espresso + a lil sugar.
<---- home roaster here too.
i have a West Bend Poppery II that I use, roasts about 3/4 cup of green coffee. right now im trying Espresso Vivace's Dulce blend, home roasted. not a huge fan, then again maybe I am just not an espresso person. i want to be, so im forcing myself through the stages.
will be ordering a blend sampler from Sweet Marias, that or just get some of the Monkey Blend.
also like milk-based drinks, such as a good, true cappuccino, or a real latte, little bit of hazlenut with or without vanilla added. or caramel, always good too.

 

[Mr N8]

My favorite is Punch in the Face, roasted by Alterra Coffee. I get it at a local coffee shop called Mocha Lisa.

 

[upsciLLion]

I drink most any straight black, drip coffee.

Great to see home roasters!

I'm not a great fan of Espresso Vivace's Dulce either. Sweet Maria's has some good blends as well, but overall I derive a lot more satisfaction from single-origin espresso; in particular, a shot of straight fresh Kenya AA can be incredible.

whats an SO shot like Kenya AA taste like compared to the Dulce blend?

 

[Amused]

I know this will probably throw the coffee snobs into convulsions, but at home I prefer a high quality whole bean smooth blend and then I use Coffemate Toffee Nut creamer.

Man, it just tastes good to me.

Ok, snort away...

 

[alien42]

sumatran

i do not know if it is their weather or soil but there is no coffee like it

 

[Duddy]

Hot Coffee mod

 

[essasin]

the general blend from Peets is pretty good

I haven't decided where to get green beans from yet, but I happen to have a West Bend Poppery II that someone was giving away when they were moving. And to think, we've been using it for popcorn all this time

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

 

[Sex Smurf]

Those Iced Vietnamese coffees aren't bad too. Packed with caffeine and sugar cafe sue da

You can't go wrong with a sampler from Sweet Maria's

Highly reccomended.

 

[Aquila76]

I love Starbuck's Venti Iced Caramel Macchiatto w/an extra doubleshot. You'd think I'd know better, but meh.
I like the local brewhouse's Kenya AA & Sumatra too.

 

[DainBramaged]

Espresso or Dark Roast coffee.

 

[Nyati13]

Kenya AA, or Kenya Blue Mountain (which is impossible to find in the US)

Tanzanian Peaberry


Always use a Coffee Press (French Press), I have a drip machine, but I never use it.

 

[mordantmonkey]

another vote for tanzanian peaberry.

 

[Illusions89]

mmmm coffee

 

[CraigRT]

just coffee. just regular coffee. double cream only.

 

[screw3d]

Sumatra Mandehling is pretty good. I'm about to finish my Colombian Supremo and will check out what's all the hype about Jamaica Blue Mountain.
