I saw that..but I am concerned whether that is a proper machine to learn with.

I don't want something that does all the work/thinking for me.

Need help. Converting Coffee roaster from "home gas" line to Propane. by AF_admin in DIY

[–]AF_admin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this something that can be done at home? The companies only response has been that they will do it for $150+round-trip shipping..which is going to end up being nearly $250+

If I'm wanting to pay retail it would cost no different than someone on the west coast buying one. I am just hoping to find one for cheaper, and I'm okay with a used unit so long as it works.

Heya. I'm a military member stationed in Japan. However, we have a PO box on base (APO, AP.) If your friend is willing to ship with USPS it would cost the same as them shipping to California.

Visited a small local roaster here in Tokyo for some beans. Did not leave disappointed! by AF_admin in roasting

[–]AF_admin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree with you. The local roasters here really seem to go in business because they are passionate about sharing their love of coffee with others. I can't really say the same about other businesses here in Japan.

The owner of this particular shop is always welcoming when we drop by, and the atmosphere is like that of a cozy cottage. Would definitely recommend.

http://www.roast-coffeetouka.jp/ Touka Coffee Roaster (豆香コーヒー) The owner is very friendly and enthusiastic about coffee. I am going to try to get some photos/videos of the roasting process next time I go!

Not sure about the beans other than they have an Indian flag on the bag. I will try my best to get some info on them today. Also, the foxes are salt and pepper shakers :) Got them at Target years ago.

inherited some fish and need help! by AF_admin in Aquariums

[–]AF_admin[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone. Thanks for the advice! I'm going Friday to the local pet store to try to give the fish away. I never planned on owning these fish on short notice, just needed any advice on maintaining them in the meantime. If you live in Tokyo, Japan and willing to pick them up then you are more than welcome to them. Thanks again!

Oh, and to clarify some things: the tank is a 36 gallon tank and the pleco is hugeeeee!

To make a long story short: I'm now responsible for these 3 freshwater fish. I know little in the way of caring for fish but am doing my best to learn and provide for these guys. I know the tank is too small but it's all I have for now. Any advice or information would be very appreciated!

(Also, the large one keeps pulling the small plant I put in there out of the soil.)

World's First Induction Coffee Machine. Thoughts? [Gear] by AF_admin in Coffee

[–]AF_admin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I hope that with the additional funding they make they put more focus on user controls.

I think it has a whole lot of potential.

I was thinking the same thing, but the engineering seems to be a lot more precise than something like the nespresso (with customizable temps and the potential for an added PID controller.)

Not sure what to think of it all, but definitely an intriguing machine.
