Hi, I'm Frank, I've been an espresso addict since a trip to Italy in 1985. I came home and boy was it hard to find a decent espresso. Really glad when Starbucks popped up on every corner. I didn't get tired of them until I started home roasting. I use a Rancilio Silvia w/Rocky grinder. Nice rock solid machine. I do all my own maintenance. I installed a PID and a silicone tank blanket a few years ago. I started home roasting after some of my friends started doing it and shared their coffee with me. I'm guessing around 2008. I currently roast with a Gene Cafe roaster; I'm on batch 1130 now. I'm looking to upgrade to another roaster soon, I'll post to the roast forum to get input from the group. Nice to be here, Frank |

Big welcome to HRO Frank! You've come to the right place for feedback on roasters especially if you end up with a complete ground up build or anything in between that and a consumer or commercial model. Glad to have you on board! Cheers 1/2 lb and 1 lb drum, Siemens Sirocco fluidbed, presspot, chemex, cajun biggin brewer from the backwoods of Louisiana
