... you hand picked your beans to make this lot of beans?



I discovered that some local commercial roasters are willing to sell greens to amateur roasters like me at a substantial discount... as long as the volume involved is not trivial. The 75 lbs of beans that I purchased included 7 different origins that I hand picked myself. I can now chose among the various origins to create different roasting blends.

So how long will 75lb last?


Given the increasing number of people that keep popping in for an espresso, I need at least 3 lbs of roast a week. My modified HT can now produce that much roast in about 90 minutes. I expect that the 75 lb purchase may last about 5 months. If you are looking for unique and truly "superb" pulls, careful blending from select origins is the only way to go.

Hi all:

I just looked to see what I had done with my last few batches in the HT,
the Burundi Kirimiro Teka I got I measured out 3 10oz bags ready to dump so that leaves me with 2 oz which I will add to my other 2 oz leftover and roast when it reaches 8o r 10 ounces.

one of my neighbors KNOWS when I have Burundi in the roaster and always stops for a cafe crema or two...

love the Africans.

Ciel, you got a great deal considering you could pick your own and were not forced to take a ready made lot of coffee.

Have a great weekend all...
